Gotta be a hairpiece


In his 2002 imdb photo, he's got a very receding hairline.
In this 2010 photo, his hairline has advanced several inches, and his hair is as thick as a high school student's.

I agree. He also looks very young for his age. His voice has actually broke now!

Of course it's a hair piece!! Once you start losing your hair and receding it does not magically grow back both thicker and lower. But if an actor was ever a star, then virtually all people on the IMDB message boards think that the actor has great hair, is great looking and is a great actor!!

That's a damn fine hair piece

reply

Maybe not. His forehead is pretty high and he's combing it over a bit.

I don't know.

Sometimes a man's hairline can just grow back in thicker and firmer once the "older man" follicles literally begin to take root.

Look at William Shatner for example. In Star Trek TOS, he's practically bald! His wispy youth hair is so badly receded you can pretty much envisage him there and then with a slap head. However, by the time of The Motion Picture, his almost more pubic thicker, wiry mature hair has grown through and he looks great!

Looks like something very similar has happened to Ralph.

What do you mean? He is clearly receding still? His hair isn't thick at all like he once was.
He looks good for his age but he has aged, watch the first Kk film again.

Ps. Check the George Lopez interview where he addresses this: https://youtu.be/LFWky91cCHs

That was a great find. Macchio seems like a great, genuine guy. I do find it really hard to listen to Lopez’s dry, hoarse voice. For me it’s like fingernails across a chalkboard.

Part of me thinks its not a hairpiece because of the way he parts it,if you look at his side parting at the front it looks like it's thinning,I mean if you're going to wear a hairpiece you a not gonna use one that looks like the hair is not full,I think he is doing the classic Comb over to hide his balding hair.

Of course it is.
