It's My Duty. I'm a Missionary: Hollywood's Worst Man-'do Mistakes

By Cindy Davis | Posted Under Seriously Random Lists | Comments (39)

When first I saw Ben Affleck’s new hair, I thought it looked awful. It’s Bieberish, too metro/male-model-y and he really doesn’t look like himself anymore. Turns out that the style is for a movie role, so at least we know he’s not going through one of those near-midlife crisis thing gone bad. Admittedly, the more pictures I see, the less I dislike it, though he still looks better without bangs.

But Jesopus, there are a lot of Hollywood men running around with bad hair. The more I looked at pictures around the ‘sphere, the worse things got. So what else could I do, but try to help? Maybe these poor guys don’t know what they’re doing wrong. Because they’re famous, people might be afraid to step up and say, “Hey man, you look like a fucking fool. Here’s what you’re doing wrong. Now go get some help.” Me, I’m not afraid. I’m here to help identify the problems so these mistakes can be rectified and so the rest of you regular menfolk out there will know what to avoid. If your body is a temple, hair—by extension(s)—is sacred.

Mistake Number 1: Color Gone Wrong:

Dudes, you can all afford a good colorist. Find one and pay him.


Mistake Number 2: Going Bald But Think It Looks Better to Leave on Some Hair…Any Hair:

Having a couple of tufts on the side or using a piece to cover up the fact that your hairline starts on the back half of your head is not fooling anyone. Just shave the rest of that shit off and own your egghead.


Mistake Number 3: Thinking Long(ish) Hair Equals Hip, Cool or Youthful:

Long, fried, stringy hair is making you look worse, not better.


Mistake Number 4: Not Doing Anything at All with That Mess:

Again, can’t you fellas get a decent haircut and someone to show you how to use product? Sticking your finger in a light socket and then dipping your head in a bowlful of gel ain’t doing it.


Mistake Number 5: No Comb-overs Ever.

Donald Trumps entire head should be cut off and put in a glass jar when he's dead. Then attached to a robot body and elected president. It is perfect, a glorious dome of feathery goodness. I want to cover it in chocolate and rub it all over my naked, writhing body. I want to stay up late and talk with it on the phone until my parents burst in and order me to sleep. I want to hug it with both arms as hard as I can until his nose breaks, and then I want to clean the blood with a raspy woolen rag, which will be immortalized as the face of divinity for the next two-thousand years.

I fucking love his head, is what I'm saying.

OK, Depp's hair still looks awesome.

And gah! I should have you arrested for assaulting my eyes with Trump.

Posted by: Slash at July 29, 2011 5:29 PM

That Collin Ferrel pic was from his role in Horrible Bosses. If you were going to include movie roles, than you missed the perfect opportunity to go with Bill Murrays sweet hair in Kingpin. That is legendary stuff there.

You're right, DeVito would be on the cover of People Magazine and Tiger Beat every week if only he knew what to do with that wacky 'do.

Posted by: LEROOOY at July 29, 2011 6:05 PM

I'm going bald, and I'll shave my head when I fucking feel like it, mmkay?

Posted by: Todd at July 29, 2011 6:19 PM

I was eating when I read this article.

There should be a warning label on this thing. Good God.

Posted by: duckandcover at July 29, 2011 6:32 PM

Add to the list: the number of men who think if they can't grow hair on their head, by God they'll grow it on their face. Bald, beard and ball cap, seems to be a standard.

Posted by: Tecuya at July 29, 2011 6:40 PM

I'm pretty sure Rob Lowe's blond is also for a role, but it is horrible nonetheless.

Posted by: Amanda6 at July 29, 2011 6:40 PM

I agree with every one except Danny DeVito aka Frank Reynolds. He's now primarily working a comedic role and the look fits. I mean look at the guy, you can't help but laugh! It also helps that he can go line for line with Charlie Day. Best duo on television.

Posted by: Rico at July 29, 2011 6:41 PM

ANYTHING JOHN CLEESE DOES IS RIGHT.

Posted by: AmbroseKalifornia at July 29, 2011 7:00 PM

Maybe Ben's hair is for a role?....hehehehehehehehehehehehe

Posted by: bethers at July 29, 2011 7:08 PM

I think that hair makes Affleck look like Aaron Eckhardt.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at July 29, 2011 7:21 PM

Man, Lowe and Lonestar look like lesbians while Redford looks like a retired aunt living down in Boca.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at July 29, 2011 8:34 PM

Mickey Rourke looks pretty badass in that pic. Aint gonna lie. And...

HOLYFUCKTHATSVALKILMER!?

You dont get to be my huckleberry anymore.

Posted by: Lennon at July 29, 2011 8:37 PM

I heard that Travolta lost his boys but I didn't believe it. That picture of him has shaken me. I was so not prepared.

Posted by: junierizzle at July 29, 2011 9:25 PM

All of Affleck's hair is a wig, anyway (at least on top), so at the very least, it would be very easy to change back. He, Nic Cage, and Travolta all must spend the equivalent of a small country's GDP on hair pieces.

Posted by: Abe Froman at July 29, 2011 9:26 PM

I'm with Slash. Johnny Depp's hair may look like the cat sucked it, but it's still hot.

Posted by: Stinky at July 29, 2011 10:09 PM

I don't know, I think Depp is still workin' it. The other guys, though--I imagine losing hair is traumatic for guys, so I'm not gonna judge how they deal with it.

Posted by: DeadBessie at July 29, 2011 10:11 PM

Robert Redford looks like he's channeling Mrs. Doubtfire.

Btw, has anyone noticed that Paul McCartney looks exactly like Angela Lansbury these days?

Posted by: Stinky at July 29, 2011 10:14 PM

There is nothing wrong with John Barrowman ever.

Posted by: DominaNefret at July 29, 2011 11:55 PM

Oh, Barrowman. That hair is a travesty.

Posted by: Lauren at July 30, 2011 2:47 AM

Trump hit all of them.

1. Color gone bad
2. Going bald but leaving hair
3. Longish hair he thinks makes him look hip
4. Not doing anything with that mess
5. Combover

Good Gawd what an unholy mess. Even if I didn't take anything seriously that he says with his mouth, one look at that tumbleweed.....How do his underlings not crack up in the boardroom?

Posted by: kirbyjay at July 30, 2011 8:43 AM

If i was a cat PSH would be catnip. Even the hair cant erase any of the intense desire i have for that man.

Posted by: Sam at July 30, 2011 9:06 AM

It's nit being bald that's traumatic, it's the going bald.

Posted by: Odnon at July 30, 2011 12:17 PM

WTF happened to Robert Redford? I'm glad my mommy isn't alive to see that!
I kinda like LD and DD's bald looks (fits their image) but JT; I don't think he'd look bettre bald but dayum! his hairpieces are just laughable.
Cleese and Murray are legends and should be exempt from any comment...
I thought Colin Farrell was Krist Novoselic (from Nirvana)...

Posted by: China Cat at July 30, 2011 12:21 PM

Hey. PSH wears his hair the same way I do. Guys with our look shouldn't be fucking with products. Trust me, it looks awful, every time.

Posted by: ChristianH at July 30, 2011 4:36 PM

Ah, someone else who believes that appearance is that important.

If as much energy was put in to what people thought as with how they look we would not be in the current state of disarray.

Posted by: McAllister Bryant at July 30, 2011 5:22 PM

I disagree. Depp can show up unshaven, ripped jeans and foodstains down his faded t-shirt and he'd still look like a million.

I bow to the better man.

Posted by: derek at July 30, 2011 6:25 PM

Can anyone convince me that Trump's coif isn't,in fact,a heavily sedated fennec fox? Anyone?

Posted by: Revenant Shadow at July 30, 2011 6:29 PM

If Mickey Rourke wanted to be any cooler, he would take up all the cool left in western society, leaving our forms of entetainment naught but sixty channels of weather related reruns and the musical stylings of high school bands farting on snare drums.

Posted by: D-Day at July 30, 2011 6:31 PM

Not sure I'm really getting the "Rourke is cool" vibe. At all. Not since Barfly anyway and that was a long damn time ago.

Posted by: Protoguy at July 30, 2011 8:28 PM

Redford needs to go the silver fox route. That blond rug isn't fooling anyone.

PSH looks fine in that photo, as do Cleese and Murray. Sometimes, you just go with what you've got.

Barrowman has no excuse for fucking up his look, damn him.

that right there made my day :D

Posted by: jelleebean at July 31, 2011 10:20 AM

Ben Affleck looks like Mads Mikkelsen now, just with a weird face.

And now we really should go back to looking at pictures of men that actually are worth looking at. Please.

Posted by: Rooks at July 31, 2011 3:14 PM

Wow, here's what I see: Superficial commentary on fucking hair. Does it really matter? Some of those styles certainly aren't for me, but are their hairstyles worthy of special attention? Jesus, you're even getting down on some of the bald guys for (drum roll, please): Being bald. In so-called Mistake #2 they simply chose not to hide it. Why don't they shave their heads, goddammit!?

We all like to bag on Hollywood types for being shallow, catering to the lowest common denominator, icing out actresses for committing the sin of turning 30, etc. I'm sure they'll appreciate this thoughtful analysis. You've really put them all on notice on what matters most. Good show.

I'm sure the "It's all in fun!" crowd will have something to say. So next weekend let's talk about actresses with the wrong breast sizes. It will be a lark!

Posted by: G Reventlov at July 31, 2011 3:27 PM

#1. Color gone wrong, made them look like lesbians.
#3. They all look fine. I don't think they're going for youth, but rather macho, rebellious image. Like rockstar-do. Same with #4. Nothing wrong with that.

Posted by: Adrien at July 31, 2011 7:34 PM

"I think that hair makes Affleck look like Aaron Eckhardt."

But Aaron can carry it off.

Affleck looks great with short hair - he really ought to keep it that way.

Posted by: samantha t at August 1, 2011 10:05 AM

Sad Ben is sad

Posted by: Protoguy at August 1, 2011 12:17 PM

how is Affleck only "near-midlife"? He is midlife, dude. I don't know how hold you think he's going to live to, but once you hit 35, you are definitely midlife.
