Patrick Stewart discusses his youth and looking old as baldness is talked about almost like its a disability.

The guy is 70 years old, I've seen a ton of interviews with him on all kinds of shows even from 70's and 80's and almost all of them asked him about his baldness. You would think that after 50 years these hosts would actually watch some of the previous interviews with Stewart and stop asking him the same question over and over again.

They probably keep asking him because he takes it so well and doesn't care, but deep down even the most patient person would get annoyed.

This is madness!! Why is it so acceptable to rip upon him, the man is a knight! Norton wouldnt have got away chatting to the bunch from the roundtable that way!! Its got to grate on Patrick Stewart, he has left a rich legacy of work, so what do they decide to talk about, his lack of hair! Not only that he has to sit there and laugh it off whilst Alan Davies tries to score points off him. Alan Davies, whats he left the world as a legacy besides Jonathan Creek and a set of teethmarks on a tramps ear?!

You gotta love popular media, it really enables us en masse to impart knowledge and make the world a more understanding place!

Its like his baldness is some freaky thing and they cant have a discussion without getting that issue out of the way first, as if the audience wont be able to concentrate on the conversation because they'll all be too distracted by his bald head.

There was a good point raised though, if you watch the whole interview Stewart said that he'd never had a role playing a young man. Even in the his 20's he was playing middle aged men.

Also he talked about being impressed by Rooneys recent hair transplant and feeling tempted to try it himself. (obviously he does'nt know much about the subject though, being that he's a NW7).
