#2 Robert Pattinson

Sorry, ladies. It’s true. Robert Pattison - the actor whose iconic brown locks in the Twilight Saga made the girls swoon - confessed that he wore a hair toupee during the re-shoots of Breaking Down Part 2. The actor was having a very unusual hairline with bald patches at that time.

“We had to do the re-shoots a few weeks ago, and it was the first time I had to wear a wig,” said Robert Pattinson during the interview at San Diego Comic-Con panel. Since the actor has incredible genes, he managed to overcome his temporary baldness and is now rocking a trending style in 2022.

Note: A partial hairpiece for a receding hairline is a great option if you are losing hair at the front.

#4 Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel Jackson is one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood for several reasons. Onscreen presence, hard work, expressive face, and magnificent energy are just a few things he is recognized for. But do you know the actor is also a part of the toupee gang?

Yes, you read it right! The Nick Fury of Marvel’s Avengers has worn a vast range of toupees for playing different characters in Hollywood films and television. Samuel wore a curly hair toupee to play the role of a highly articulate hitman in the classic noir film called Pulp Fiction.

In fact, he was also seen sporting a pin-straight, jet-black ponytail toupee in Jackie Brown and a 90s short afro hair wig in Captain Marvel. Whether Samuel plays a role with or without a hair toupee, he would forever rule our hearts.

We all know The Rock as a tall, muscular actor who eats a healthy diet, pumps iron and embraces being bald. But do you know that he has also worn a hair toupee many times in his career? Yes, the 50-year-old actor wore a long-hair toupee designed by the famous Italian hairstylist, Aldo Signoretti, in the movie Hercules.

And let’s not forget his debut hair wig in The Scorpion King (2002). It looked fabulous too if you ask us.

#6 Nicolas Cage

GenZ probably needs an introduction for this Hollywood actor and we will rightly give it. Nicolas Cage is a popular American celebrity and film producer that has delivered massive hits back in the day (and recently gave another with the indie film, Pig). As the decades passed, the sizable bald patch at the back of his head became more prominent.

Nicolas wears toupees for playing diverse roles on the big screen and on television. According to Daily Mail Online, the 58-year-old Wild at Heart actor was last seen wearing a hair toupee with a big pink clip on the sets of his upcoming film Reinfield in which he is going to play the role of Dracula. Cage was also sporting a hairpiece with long shiny black hair with small flecks of grey in the movie Outcast.
