        Those 2 have not much to do with it, since there are hundreds of millions on people that have neither of those problems in the EU and USA alone and they still age just fine.

          Almost all of them have to work to live somewhat comfortably. They also have to do their own housework and childcare in addition to paid labour, which rich people do not. Both of those, especially in combination, are stressful. Stress ages you.

          Once you get to a certain amount of wealth, you never have to do labour again, paid or otherwise, unless you want to.

          Not to mention that they can’t afford dieticians, personal trainers, aestheticians, etc., as the rich do.

            They absolutely do not need to worry about food and housing. The sample size of these people is gigantic and it simply has nothing to do with it.

                Those “super rich” people lose their hair etc too., today they can simply afford to do something about it. 50 years ago they looked like everyone else. The money is important to deal with the issue, not to prevent it.

          No one “ages fine”, it’s a slow breaking down of your body and its organs over time.

              Worrying is bad for you if you do it a lot.

              If you eat badly iften then that’s bad for you.

              But mostly only if it becomes a quite recurrent event.

              The basics are, dont do drugs, dont smoke, dont drink (often/regularly), don’t be sedentary, avoid eating processed food and ofc soda.

              And then just wait for the next breakthrough that will repair our metabolism a bit so we can be here for a while longer til the next breakthrough comes around.

    I’m not sure how people here are claiming “genetics” when this is clearly hair implants. Implants are fairly cheap overseas and even cheaper in the States when you’re a multimillionaire (relative to differential in income vs an average person).

    People forget that looking good, investing in yourself, staying in shape and cosmetic procedures are a part of their jobs as actors and they’ll do it just like anybody else doing their jobs.

    People overestimate genetics in most cases, when the answer is really simple: maintenance.

      You have thr balding gene, don’t you?

      Some people don’t go bald with age, not really. Is it so hard to believe? None of my grandparents or parents have had any bald spots, grandma from mom’s side having a thic-ass braid halfway down her back.

      He’s aged pretty well, but not amazingly. Also, people underestimate how much hair is needed to look like that with good products. Arguably he might have thinner hair than he did when he was in Trainspotting, but it certainly doesn’t look it the way he wears it

      But probably you guys are just overestimating how much hair an average person drops in 20 years

        I actually have a pretty thick head of hair for my age.

        The only reason we’re commenting on his hair is because his hair seems to have grown in texture and thickness with time and it’s apparent that it’s grafted looking at just the texture alone.

        Genetics while playing a great role in anatomy does not reverse the effects of aging and taking care of yourself via cosmetic procedure because it’s part of your job along with a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to put off genetic health risks.

          If I look at an image of me in the army with a buzzcut and myself in the mirror now, the hair definitely looks thicker now. I don’t know how one’s hair “grows in texture” though, you’ll have to brief me on that.

          Most of what I think you’re seeing is hairstyle and product, not transplants. But I wouldn’t put money on it.

            By grown in texture I meant that the volume of hair seems fuller. While that can be product/hairstyle, another giveaway is that his hairline def looks like it recedes with age. Picture on the left is the classic, my hairline is receding and I’ve got longer hair to compensate for it. The picture on the right has a hard stop on the hairline and hair growing out exactly where the hairline “stopped” receding.

            Got a ton of balding men around me, and grafting is a popular topic of conversation. 🙂

              I’ll have to trust your expertise, I guess. The hairline not being straight is suspect, but also, it might be perspective or something.

              I does look kinda too straight in the second picture now that you mention it, though.

    He probably uses dye for the color. As for not balding that’s fully genetic. Some people are blessed with a full head of hair until they die. Others lose it at 20.

          While I can’t say Ewan can only look this way because of medical intervention, the vast majority of major entertainers have work done in some way to maintain their looks over time and if they keep up with it you would never notice.

          Surgery isn’t the only solution, there are medications, like Finasteride, that actually prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone that causes it. But some people do just have thick gorgeous manes their whole life without help.

      It’s called genes.

      Not everyone has male pattern baldness. My dad didn’t have a bald spot when he died, and none of my grandparents have either. Although half of them are dead as well.

      But yeah, if you do have shitty genes for hair, you can fix it with money.

    If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

    Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

    I bet every actor is on fin.
