Dec of Ant and dec fame

[iwantperfection]

I wonder what dec will do now that his hair is getting very thin. Im waiting for the day he walks on to tv with full thick hair again. i really cant see him going the slick route. no way. My moneys on an hair transplant or wig. probably a wig.

Here he is. His hair is thinner than this now but its best pic i could find.

Er I think anyone who knows hairloss knows that he's been struggling for the last decade. Definatley been using concealers for many years. I cant see him getting a hair transplant with his busy schedule so maybe a wig in the next few years.

 

[cuebald]

yes, he really won't be so family friendly as a NW4+

Perhaps he should become a bitter comedian

It doesn't mean sh*t for his career, ultimately. He's got the money to get good concealers, even a hair system, and then HM when it comes out. He's fine.

I disagree, he's got the money but has he got the balls to publicly opt for more drastic treatments. Imagine if he came out in a new wig someone would obviously pick up on it and there'd be comparisons to Bruce Forsyth and Terry Wogan ect Its accepted with them because they're old men but he's young and he'd be humiliated.
Him and the other one are former child stars and trading on their boyish looks and non threatening image has got them where they are today.
His concealers can only keep working as long as he maintains (I'd be pretty sure he's on propecia) but I think if it gets worse he could opt to stay behind the camera since much of his work is actually in producing shows rather than presenting.

That's if they picked up on the wig. He's got the kind of money to get a fairly convincing one.

If he can't, he's got a good chance of maintenance with the ability to conceal if he's on propecia and rogaine. And even if that doesn't work, like you say, he's got his fingers in many others pies behind the screens. Personally, I think this is an approach him and Ant may have to go for in a few years anyway, since their 'boyish' personas won't work so well if they're pushing onto middle age.

Either way, I think he's got it fairly sorted.
