A man suffering from alopecia has hit out against the "pervasive negative portrayal of bald people" in movies and the idea that they are somehow "damaged".
Superman's Lex Luthor, Daredevil's Bullseye, Se7en's John Doe, The Matrix's Cypher, Star Wars' Darth Maul, The Dark Knight Rises' Bane, Harry Potter's Voldemort… the list of follicularly-challenged antagonists is endless.
The tongue-in-cheek rant also blasts a bald Obadiah Stane "squaring off against the thick-haired Tony Stark" in Iron Man, and notes the rare win of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, only for it to be undone by the multitude of bald villains in Mad Max: Fury Road.
It's fair to say the man has a point so let us celebrate the bald and the beautiful with our top 5 smooth operators!
Jean Luc Picard
Now let's be honest...Picard is the best captain to boss the bridge of The Enterprise. Patrick Stewart brought some Shakespearean gravitas to the role and along wiht it one of the sexiest domes to grace the galaxies!
Kojak
Invariably they will try and remake this iconic 70's cop show but Telly Savalas IS Kojak. Smooth in every sense he even made sucking on a lillipop look cool. Who loves ya baby? We do!!
Larry David
The most glorious grouch of all time, Larry David found fame and a huge fortune as the creator of Seinfeld. He remained relatively unknown until he yet another moment of genius when he created 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and one of the most magnificent moanyholes ever.
The Edge
He may not thank us for it but the cat in the hat is foolin' nobody! His choice to hide his shiny cranium under a cap for years is his own of course but one day we'd love to see his head
Sinead O'Connor
When Sinéad O'Connor burst onto the music scene in the late '80s, the industry hadn't heard or seen anyone like her. With her extreme look and controversial politics, O'Connor landed her first record contract when she was just 17. It was a time, she remembers, that was especially difficult for women in the music industry.
"They wanted me to grow my hair really long and wear miniskirts and all that kind of stuff because they reckoned I'd look much prettier," she says. "So I went straight around to the barber and shaved the rest of my hair off."
And that is why we love her!
