Sorry for the Mail link but just reading that Jimmy Carr has spent thousands on a hair transplant. This isn’t about his gains from tax avoidance but AIBU in asking why?? He was never a great looking chap so I am just surprised that he is trying so hard now. It is so obvious and looks awful.

I have no words

Well actually I might have several Wine

Redshoeblueshoe · 27/06/2020 01:31

He could have got one of those LOL dolls and used their hair.
It would probably be more realistic

horsemadgal · 27/06/2020 01:31

I don't think it looks obvious that he's had a hair transplant. It's a different cut and colour but I don't think it has worked, should have saved his money.

OuiOuiKitty · 27/06/2020 01:32

Women have all types of surgeries all the time. If it's what he wanted then good for him.

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 27/06/2020 01:33

I actually think it looks ok. Can't see it as any different hairline wise, but don't think it looks bad.

I'm not a fan by the way .

Sparklingbrook · 27/06/2020 01:37

This is news-why?

imabusybee · 27/06/2020 01:56

Good for him! It's not hurting anyone. I can imagine being in the public eye can make even small issues magnified. I think it looks fine (& I think the idea is it gets better with time too)

Lalalamps · 27/06/2020 05:16

Not a fan of his.
But he doesn’t look bad and YABU this is not in the spirit of being kind.

WombOfOnesOwn · 27/06/2020 05:18

I thought he was cuter before.

LunaNorth · 27/06/2020 05:22

Should have sorted his horrendous laugh out first.

He was never a great looking chap so I am just surprised that he is trying so hard now.

Would you be so unpleasant about a woman who underwent a cosmetic procedure? I think he looks good.

ElizabethMainwaring · 27/06/2020 05:36

He looks much, much better now.
I would not have twigged it was a transplant.
The dye job was awful.

Totally agree. I am not a fan, but really?? I am not a great looking woman - should I not bother to try and look my best?
BillieEilish · 27/06/2020 05:39

I like it. Good for him.

Hopeisnotastrategy · 27/06/2020 05:45

How was this possible during lockdown? A member of my family struggled to get a badly infected tooth removed this week.

Doggyperson · 27/06/2020 05:46

His money, he can do what he wants with it. I don't think it looks too bad, and as for saying he wasn't the best looking chap, don't we all want to look the best we can? Even those who 'arent the best looking'

Lalala205 · 27/06/2020 06:11

Oh well! He's clearly labelled a bit of a minger by OP (Mr/Mrs Universe) so he'd clearly be better to fuck off under a rock and never inflict himself on society again.... Or then again he can just spend his cash how he likes and give no fucks about OP and their nasty little judgemental comments. Do we know you well OP? Are you on the cover of Vogue often? 🤔

kmc1111 · 27/06/2020 06:18

It looks fine, especially for a fresh transplant (it usually takes a year or two for the transplanted hairs to properly blend in).

I’ve never understood why people are so shitty about men doing something about hair loss.

vanillandhoney · 27/06/2020 06:40

I think it looks good.

I think your OP is thoroughly unpleasant though. Would you say the same about a woman who had hair extensions, for example? That she was ugly before so why the hell is she bothering?

Hmm
Choice4567 · 27/06/2020 07:01

It looks the same! I don’t understand! It’s been cut obvs, but I’ve stared at both pictures for ages and they look the same!

BMaman · 27/06/2020 07:02

Think he should ask for his money back. I don't see any difference in his hairline?

MortyFide · 27/06/2020 07:09

Bit mean, I always thought he was cute. Good for him, look forward to seeing it grow in.

Meatshake · 27/06/2020 07:53

Love that he owns it in the article rather than just sporting a dodgy comb over or unconvincing wig. File it under "You do you, Hun" 😂

Tlollj · 27/06/2020 07:56

Good luck to him. It’s his money he can spend it how he wants.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 27/06/2020 07:56

Gosh, OP. What's the point of starting a thread just to slag someone off?
