With thousands expected to don bald caps for Pitbull's Guinness World Record bid at BST Hyde Park on July 10, we're celebrating the celebrities who turned hair loss into their signature look. Here are our favourite baldies who empower hairless men every day.
Dwayne Johnson
'The Rock' has barely been seen with hair since becoming one of the biggest action stars on the planet. The former WWE champion and Hollywood icon has embraced the clean-shaven look for years, helping turn it into a symbol of strength and confidence. Today, his bald head is every bit as recognisable as his megawatt smile and booming voice.
Jason Statham
Action hero Jason never tried to hide his thinning hair, instead opting for a close shave that has become part of his signature tough-guy image. Whether starring in The Transporter, Fast & Furious, or The Beekeeper, the look has added to his overall sex appeal.
Bruce Willis
One of the original bald baddies — long before shaving your head was fashionable, Bruce made it cool. As his hairline receded during the height of his Die Hard fame, he gradually embraced a cropped, then completely shaved style that became synonymous with his action-man status.
Vin Diesel
The Fast & Furious star has built an entire career around his unmistakable look. His shaved head, muscular physique, and gravelly voice have made him one of Hollywood's most recognisable leading men.
Samuel L. Jackson
From Marvel blockbusters to Quentin Tarantino classics, Samuel L. Jackson has spent decades proving a bald head can command the screen. He has occasionally sported wigs for film roles, but his shaved look is iconic.
Stanley Tucci
Stanley has become something of an unlikely style icon in recent years. Whether charming audiences in Searching For Italy or stealing scenes in blockbuster films, his polished bald look has won him legions of admirers.
Ross Kemp
The former EastEnders Mitchell turned documentary maker has long embraced a close-cropped look that suits his no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point persona. He is one of Britain's best-known and most-loved TV faces.
Ian Wright
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has shown that style has no age limit, or hair requirement. Whether sporting a close shave or stubble, his confidence and sharp fashion sense have made him one of football's coolest pundits.
Patrick Stewart
Sir Patrick Stewart has shown that baldness and charisma go hand in hand for decades. The legendary actor, best known for Star Trek and the X-Men films, has often joked about losing his hair at a young age but never let it hold him back. Instead, his clean-shaven look became as iconic as his commanding screen presence.
Pitbull
Pitbull, meanwhile, is hoping bald heads will help him make history. Mr. Worldwide has teamed up with BST Hyde Park in a bid to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps during his headline show on July 10. He is perhaps one of the most confident bald men.
