Celebrities on Propecia?

[Fundi]

This isn't a 'witch hunt', I was just wondering how common it was used in the 'fame' business. So which celebrities have openly admitted to using it, or from the looks of their hair you would bet your house on them being on it?

Singer Will Young's never mentioned the word 'Propecia' but said 'I don't wear a wig, but I've been taking pills everyday for 3 years and it's grown my hair back, I'm delighted!' and was seen visiting the Belgravia clinic. - So I'm virtually 100% it's Propecia.

Any others?

Canizares? I didn't know that. Maybe that's why he retired so he could take it as it's banned in sports. :mrgreen:

Stan Lazaridis also used it (And got banned).

It's worked well for John McGinley He's kept the same hairline for over 10 years and when he grows his hair out it looks very thick and hides any recession.

Brad Pitt? Pierce Brosnan? These guys are pushing into their 40's and 50's respectively, without even a hint of thinning

Pierce Brosnan still has a lot of hair for his age, but i don't think that he's on propecia.

Man, not everyone who didn't have a NW0 hairline with 25 and is still just a Norwood 1 or so with 40 has to be on hairloss treatments.

 

[Fundi]

Huh? Piece Brosnan does have thinning at the hairline, look at the latest commercials he did for that moisturiser. - He also admitted the latter Bond films he wore a piece to help the front of the hairline. Still, a more than respectable amount of hair for his age.


As for Brad Pitt, he could easily just be lucky - Everything else about him is pretty much perfect.

Also Irish comedian/TV Presenter Graham Norton. - He's kept his NW3 hairline for about 4-5 years now and it still looks thick.

Lucky to a certain extent, the rest is hard work. I won't deny that he has the foundations to work on, but that body in the 40s must require a a few gym sessions.

It has been suggested that Brian Molko from the band Placebo takes propecia.

I just think its highly likely that the celebrity population is similar to the general population; they don't get discovered or start their movie careers in their 30's; most of them probably get started in their late teens or early 20's so hairloss wouldn't be a problem on their way to fame. If it's not a contributing factor to their early success, then their "male pattern baldness rate" must be quite similar to the general population. I don't see any other way around it.

I'd bet 40% of them are all balding/going to go bald. Pick a random male celebrity, and there's probably a 50/50 percent chance if he's over 40 that he's had an hair transplant or is wearing a piece. That's my take.
