Going bald has never been so beautiful:

That has to be the dumbest link I have seen in my life.


A lot of those people aren't even bald?

Will smith is not bald? He just had a terrible hair style.


Wow that article or w/e it is sucks.

Same old bad examples, which range from Mr. Meatball (Stratham) to a druggy (Agassi). Oh, and the old man, Bruce Willis, who spent his entire career wearing toupees because baldness was oh so cool on a young man.

Well done for posting it........its good to see positive examples out there.
Fixed by 35 - Andre Agassi may be a 'druggie' to you, but he is also one of the most talented tennis players to have ever lived. A multi time champion.
The same applies to Kelly Slater, probably the best surfer who ever lived.
Again, lifes all about perception. You have a negative perception about everything........ even when blatant facts stare you in the face.

The examples you give are sportsmen. Sportsmen are allowed to be ugly in a way that people in other careers are not, because it's a true measure of raw talent. That's why so many sportsmen are unbelievably ugly, like Agassi or Slater. Of course, their talent still doesn't get them the best sponsorship gigs - we all know sponsors want pretty people like Federer on their products!

Yeah, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Billy Zane, Taye Diggs were all sportsmen too. Your completely right.

Andre Agassi has been retired from professional tennis for several years now, so why hasn't he reverted to being "ugly"?

Gmonasco - Its pointless trying to reason with an unbalanced person.....he's in a world of his own

Really. Despite his undeniable talent, it's not as if this guy ever got any lucrative sponsorship deals:

Another flawed argument by 'fixed by 35'......
