Not As Happy As Bruce Willis

[Blind Gossip] Several years ago, actor Bruce Willis  wore a Donald Trump-style wig on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as a joke.

While Willis has handled going bald with relative ease, not all actors have been so accepting of their hair loss.

This over-50 actor has always been known for his handsome face and his thick, lustrous hair.

It might not be obvious to you that the aging process has robbed him of the latter.

As soon as his hair started going, he did scalp treatments and Rogaine. Now he uses hairpieces. He used to do just a toupee, but now it’s a full wig.

Imagine your hair being one of your best features and then it’s gone? That’s got to sting!

  3. Since it’s The Sting and Newman’s dead, gotta be Redford.

    I really liked The Sting and also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    • This! Just looked at photos of Redford from the last few years, and it really makes sense. I couldn’t fit any other actors with the “sting” reference, so Redford it is.

  4. Robert Redford

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is my fave, but I also love The Sting…

    Good clue…

  5. Robert Redford (because of “sting”)

    Favorite movie of his? Butch Cassidy, The Natural, The Sting, Barefoot in the Park, I like him in everything

  11. Robert Redford.. Clue was “Sting”. He was in the movie The Sting.

    Do not like his politics, or more particularly, the way he bashes people who don’t think as he does.

    Favorite movies: The Electric Horseman and Jerimiah Johnson

  20. Thought at first it was Robert Redford (starred in The Sting,) but believe it’s about Ben Affleck again, as you can plainly see he wears a toupee or wig, whereas Redford’s hair is thin and dyed a bad color for him, not what you’d expect from a good wig. “Sting” can be a reference to the punches thrown by Batman (they sting!)

    Optional: haven’t seen any of them.

    • No, wrong, Ben’s NOT over 50, just looks to be.

      Going back with Robert Redford.
      (Robbed = butch cassidy and sundance kid, that’s gotta sting = the sting, pic of Bruce with wig styled ala Redford’s hair.)

      Optional: never saw his movies either, except maybe The Sting when I was very young.

  22. I was actually thinking George Clooney before I even clicked on the related blind.

    Ocean’s Eleven, he and Brad Pitt are both really cute in that one. I also really like Up In the Air with Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.

  29. Patrick Dempsey?

    Not sure what the ‘sting’ clue refers to – that he played a doctor?

  31. Ahhh Robert Redford, Clues are “robbed” and “sting”

    Favorite Movie: The way we were, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, The Sting….too many

    Had such a crush on him even though at the time he was decades older than me. Don’t blame him for trying to hang on that to that part of his youth…. women do it all the time. But he does need a better wig.

  39. Handsome faces and thick, lustrous hair makes me think of Sam Elliot and Kurt Russell.

    Was trying to find a tie-in with the “That’s gotta sting” comment – Elliot was in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but neither were in The Sting.

    Then I realized that Russell played Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

    Ego, based (at least in part) on that full head of beautiful hair, now losing it all?

    Yeah… that’s gotta sting…

    • Ugh! I didn’t even think about the most obvious choice – Robert Redford, but I think he’s had WAY TOO MUCH sun over the years. Been a long time since I really thought of him as handsome…

  40. Guessing Robert Redford
    My hair used to be quite beautiful but menopause did a number on it while also giving me a nice turkey gobbler. Not fun.

  41. Robert Redford (The Sting as hint).

    OMG, I thought Bruce was dressed up as David Spade when I saw the front of the page.

  42. Robert Redford, “Sting ” is a clue.

    optional: I’m biased, “All the presidents men” or “The Sting”.

  46. Hopefully this isn’t about Robert Redford, as we’re all uber aware he wears a wig.

  47. The answer is, which over 50 actor doesn’t wear a hair piece? It’s amazing how easy it is to tell who is wear a toupee with the high definition TVs. As for this blind, there are two men who come to mind, and I’m leaning toward Clooney, but it could be Selleck. Thing is, Tom is waaaay over 50, I’d describe him as a 70 actor who has an unnatural addition to dark brown hair dye, but that’s me.

  50. Robert Redford, who starred in “The Sting,” is the subject of this BI. Excellent movie.
