If you ever happened to get Taken by an international sex slave trader; you really want Liam Neeson on your side. If you ever find yourself stranded in the wilderness battling Grey wolves; you really want Liam Neeson on your side. If you need a group of elite comandoes and don’t want the B-Team, you want an A-Team led by Liam Neeson. If you get Taken again…yup, you’re looking for Liam. However, if you’re trying to win a most hair naturally on your head contest…maybe you should try someone else, because the man who taught Obi-Wan how to Jedi doesn’t exactly have the best hair in the game.
Liam Neeson began his career as a ruggedly handsome man with a full head of hair and a great hairline. He actually looked like you’d think the main character in an old adventure novel would look; like he is digging a whole through a dragon to the center of the earth and his name should be…well…Liam Neeson. He actually still looks a lot like that, except for his hair, which he’s lost some of…then got back some of.
Pretty early on in his career, Liam Neeson saw his hairline start to recede a bit; it dropped back ever so slightly at the sides, but it wasn’t really even that noticeable. It actually stayed this way for a long time; long enough that most people forgot that he had ever even lost any of it in the first place. As he started to get a little older, his hair began to thin at the front and his hairline dropped back a little more, but it still wasn’t that noticable. Strangely enough, it was his efforts to cover up the fact that he was balding that eventually made it obvious that his hair was on it’s way out. Neeson appears to have gotten a hair transplant procedure done sometime during the last few years. It’s obvious because his hair looks thicker now up front than it did before, and as we all know, hair doesn’t just grow back on it’s own. The hair itself also looks a little pluggy, as it has that overly dark look that transplanted hair often has. He did a very good job of easing his new look in by getting the transplant done during a time when a lot of his roles required him to wear wigs anyway, so it eliminated the ability to compare him from day to day or month to month.
Normally hair plugs would eliminate someone from the running for a spot in The Bald Army, but the man is a friggin’ Jedi, how the heck do I know that didn’t just use The Force to grow his hair back? Now as punishment for his crimes against baldness, he is just going to be a private, but I’m sure he can work his way up the ranks. So welcome aboard Liam Neeson! Bald to see you…instead of “Good to see you”…get it…shut up.
