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’m not a huge fan of his, but think he looks fine, honestly don’t get why anyone cares either way

BruceAndNosh · 27/06/2020 09:14

I can't see much difference.
But good for him for describing himself as a snooker playing vampire!

verybritishproblems · 27/06/2020 09:16

I think it looks good, even better than before. Looks more natural. (which is ironic)

OP who cares about his looks? At least you can change looks to a degree you can’t change an old bitter and twisted heart.

Personally, I think he looks great for parting with the dye job that had reached the limits of feasibility. His description of his previous appearance as a snooker playing vampire was spot on!

MsMarvellous · 27/06/2020 09:18

I think it looks very natural. I hope it makes him happier.

AIBU in asking why?

He's quite clear in the article about why. Were you unable to read it?

butwhiletheresmusicandlaughter · 27/06/2020 09:29

I think it actually suits him. Does anyone else think he now looks like Johnny Vaughan (big breakfast presenter)??

SephrinaX · 27/06/2020 09:39

I don't think his hairline looks any different? Unless he was particularly clever at styling it to cover the receding part before?

What a truly horrid, mean and nasty thing to say, you should be ashamed of yourself!

dayswithaY · 27/06/2020 10:37

Jimmy Carr has said some truly vile things about lots of people and his "jokes" are cruel and misogynistic . Why is everyone jumping in to say that comments about his hair are "unkind" and "nasty". He's made a very good living from being both those things. I'm sure he can take it.

EatsShootsAndRuns · 27/06/2020 11:08

It's his money he's spent on his own hair/appearance. His choice.
Nothing to do with anyone else. Hmm

I've had alopecia since I was a teenager (female).No hair transplant but wear a full Rapunzelesque head weave.

I also have a face like a burst welly boot. Grin

Are only non-uglies and tax dodgers allowed to want hair then? How did I miss this?? ConfusedConfused Confused

Nottherealslimshady · 27/06/2020 11:18

And yet people defend women like Katie price saying she can do what she wants to her own body. It's only a bloody hair transplant to replace hair he's lost, so what. I'm sure he'll grow it longer again and dye it and he'll barely look any different.

JuanitaJuanita · 27/06/2020 11:26

Nice to see the bitter brigade out in force! He just looks like any other person at the moment, like he's been forced into a DIY haircut and maybe usually dyes it 🤷🏼‍♀️

WhatsTheFrequencyKennneth · 27/06/2020 11:27

Good for him

bestservices · 27/06/2020 11:27

So only good looking people should care about how they look or make any effort?

LuckyAmy1986 · 27/06/2020 11:32

I don’t think it looks obvious/unrealistic at all. And he can do what he likes with his hair, don’t get why people concern themselves with this sort of thing.

Solina · 27/06/2020 11:36

Aren't you just nasty OP

Millicent10 · 27/06/2020 11:38

Gosh, didn’t realise I would upset people with what I thought were mild comments. I have actually seen JC live twice! And no, I am definitely no oil painting myself.

OP posts:
Youcunnyfunt · 27/06/2020 11:42

Why shouldn’t he if he wants to have it done? What difference does it make to you?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

EmmaC78 · 27/06/2020 11:42

I think it looks fine, although I don't see a dramatic difference.

DrManhattan · 27/06/2020 11:45

@Millicent10
Maybe they are 'mild comments' but the tone is a bit nasty. Not sure what you were trying to achieve.

Mamette · 27/06/2020 11:46

He can do whatever he wants with his own hair and head ffs.

MargotB7 · 27/06/2020 11:50

It is so obvious and looks awful.

I think he looks absolutely fine. I really don't know why you've started a thread about it.
