I'm bored. And when i'm bored i do stupid sh*t. Stupid sh*t like photoshop baldness on to celebrities. Why? I don't know. Probably because i'm an a**h**... i can't say for sure.

Today i saw an article about Bieber. I remembered him talking sh*t about Prince William's hair and i thought what better way to kick off "Photoshop Thursdays - Celebrity Bald Off" than with Bieber?

He's very annoying. I wish he would get permanently banned from America.

problem i find with a lot of the "bald photoshops" on the internet is its amateur nature betrays a lack of realism, often in an attempt to make balding look as bad as possible the photoshopper does several silly things like increase the size of the skull or make the forehead taller.

theres a bald photoshop of matt damon for example, where he looks deformed, and its amusing because damon has actually shaved his head to the skin before multiple times and looks nothing like that. He sported a shaved head throughout the entirety of Elysium.

Not my original content, but a goodie nonetheless.

Finally looks like he went through puberty.

I would absolutely laugh my *** off if Bieber went bald. There is something incredibly cocky about him and I don't like it. Especially after he called out Prince William for being bald, it would please me a lot seeing him go down the same path. And, there is hope - just look at his father! It would ruin his career faster than he could spell B-A-L-D.

It's amazing that even though I obviously know it's photoshopped, and in reality these guys have hair, I still feel sorry for them in the most patronising way, it's like I look in their eyes and imagine they feel this pain and incompleteness, even though my brain knows it's just a picture. What the f*** is that about.

Great work though.

The Adam Levine one is incredible by the way, I can't figure out if it was a picture of a bald guy, or you added a bald guy to a picture of Levine.

But further from my previous point just look into Taylor Lautner's eyes, he's got a smirking "happy" expression but because of the disaster going on some inches up, you feel that there's a pain in there that he's smiling through. All because of hair/lack of.

Incredible really.

Well said, and what may have been initially just for shits and giggles, you may have discovered an actual functional purpose out of this.

@plisk touched on this point earlier in the topic, most bald photoshops are "jokey", for example:

So it's just "funny", I suppose, but your photoshops are realistic looking, so it hits home a lot more how celebrities would struggle with keeping thinning hair, and it's desperately depressing.

How about a little Zayn Malik with a bit of diffuse thinning and recession?

I'm enjoying this too much, it feels even better when it's those with impeccable hair lines (and the sick realisation that this isn't effecting them in any way, and my mind is warped).

I don't know if you want to bother with requests but if you need ideas, I'd like 90's Brad Pitt.

Damn, these are really well made.

Try to do Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver next, oh man even I am afraid of the result.

No that's great, thanks a lot.

My initial reaction is like "damn, still looks great" but no, the comparison is shocking, he's as low as a 6/10 in the 2nd picture, it's like he's lost a LOT of charisma, he's just duller looking.
