Dwayne Johnson: Bald Shaved Head
Dwayne Johnson’s bald shaved head is as iconic – and beloved – as his bulging biceps. But rumour has it that he shaves his hair off by choice, not due to hair loss.
Whatever the reason, you couldn’t get a better ambassador to fly the flag for the bald brigade. Because frankly, that shaved scalp has only enhanced, not hindered his career and heart-throb status.
Why We Love It:
When you think of Dwayne Johnson you think of muscles so big they could have their own postcode, but you also think ‘bald shaved head‘ because it’s a look as strong as his biceps.
And, after years of speculation, the man otherwise known as The Rock publicly admitted that he prefers his scalp naked and chose to shave it off.
With typical self-deprecation and good humour, he Tweeted this in 2017: “I’m not bald because I went bald. I’m bald because my hair is a cross between an afro and hair from a Lama’s [sic] ball sac.”
Now MFH has never seen a Llama’s privates, but did a Google search of Dwayne’s natural hair. And though there’s a myriad of regrettable 80s and 90s haircuts back in the day (the curse of any Gen Xer), MFH think he’s talking bollocks about his barnet and Llamas balls.
If you’re debating going for the Great Shave, know this: being bald hasn’t harmed The Rock’s bank balance either – he was the highest paid actor on the Forbes list of celebrity earners for 2020.
