According to an American gossip website the American rocker Jon Bon Jovi is worried that he is starting to suffer from male-pattern baldness. The singer and sometime actor is justly famed for his luscious locks and many women (and men) have felt their hearts flutter at the sight of his sandy tresses curling gently onto his shoulders in such epic works as Sex and the City, The Leading Man and of course all his wildly sexy music videos.
However, the 1985 Kerrang “Sex Object of the Year” is quoted as saying,"Oh, let me tell you, I am so worried (about my hair). I look at guys like Sting and think, 'Well, he's cool about it,' but I'm already losing it a bit and I'm so aware of it". This new fear has been held responsible for the new, shorter hairstyle he has been sporting in recent months.
The star has even been pursuing strange regimes recommended to him by friends and acquaintances. He said, “Someone told me that you have to regularly massage your scalp, so I do that all the time. You look like a jerk, but it's got to be worth a shot, right?"
There is a certain pleasure in seeing celebrities succumbing to the perils of age, but personally I think that Bon Jovi could be bald as a coot and he’d still be yummy. Considerably more yummy than John Cleese, who after telling Richard and Judy rather bravely about his painful hair implant treatment then followed the classic mid-life crisis route by having an affair with an aged blonde who improbably claimed she was 27.
What we need is a celebrity who admits he is losing his hair, does something proactive about it, and then doesn’t undermine all his good work by going off to buy a red Porche and some pretty girls to ride in it. Jon Bon Jovi, who does lots of political stuff for the Democrats, seems to fit the bill admirably...maybe now Obama is safe he can take on a new challenge as Propecia spokesman....?
