Category Archives: Simon Pegg

Rumors have flown in recent weeks that Shaun of the Dead‘s Simon Pegg got hair transplant surgery, but I’m not sure I buy them. The Star Trek star caused a stir when he showed up at the permiere of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (or as I call it, “Mission Impossible: Dumb Name”) with an aparently rejuvenated hairline. Naturally, since he’s a celebrity, everyone assumed that he had gotten hairplugs, but I can’t confidently say that I agree. I have to admit, his hairline does look a a bit better at the corners, but he just doesn’t seem like the hairplug type. Instead, I think that Pegg lost some weight, grew out the hair that he does have, and started using something like Propecia to stimulate some new hair growth. Listen, I could be wrong, I have been before, but a guy who has based a large part of his awesome career on playing self depricating characters just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that would go through hair transplant surgery. I’m sure someone will ask him eventually, so hopefully he’ll be honest and we can see if I’m right.
