There's a story about Roger Delgado apparently struggling with a bald cap in the makeup room for an embarassingly long time, even though everyone in the room knew he was already wearing a wig.

I would say The Rock went bald gracefully. He shaved at the right time as he was clearly receding but wasn’t at the balding crown stage yet. I think guys with darker features tend to pull off bald better than white guys anyway.
As for HBK, welp. He aged so quickly during his 2nd run and the bald patches weren’t helping. I can’t honestly say he looks great bald either. He still keeps the wisps of his own hair, I don’t understand why he doesn’t just get the transplant.

Billy Corgan said 'F it' like 30 years ago and he's better off for it.

George Carlin held on to what was left of his hair long after what he had on top had disappeared, but didn't give a shit about the fact that he was going bald. Would that fall under gracefully or not?
Jesse Ventura to this day still has his rat tail.

In the meantime, there’s no excuse walking around looking like a freshly circumcised dick.” I’m going the George Carlin way. |

I’m going the George Carlin way. Thankfully I have a head of hair that is as luscious and thick at 41 as it was at 16, so I'm hoping to go the Sam Elliott way. /cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/dmn/ABZYREAAFLRPQYEG2BZM7CRKIE.jpg) |

I still have some top, but everyday is less and less. I even got the same curly ponytail. I’m not grey at all. Yet. |

Elton John has done the lot from rarely being photographed without a flamboyant hat to a blatant wig, a botched hair transplant and finally a successful looking one.
Musk probably didn’t want people mixing him up with Jeff Bezos or even Steve Jobs if he went bald.

That somehow reminded me that Andre Agassi was wearing a wig the while time. |

Elon Musk bought the best fake hair money can buy and he looks worse than if he'd just shaved it, resembling like a former 80s comic now playing the same strip club every night, drunk and dishevelled before his set even begins. Every set features him yelling 'Do you know who I am?' at hecklers, 'I was a backup cast member on saturday night live!' If Elon went full bald, he really would be Lex Luther Nah, Lex Luther is really smart. |

Musk probably didn’t want people mixing him up with Jeff Bezos or even Steve Jobs if he went bald. Elton John dressed up as Marie Antoinette and our parents were amazed he was gay. Elton John can look however he chooses and the only proper response is, "That's fine. It's Elton John" |

This just reminded me of that period of time where Cesaro let his grow back out for awhile and there were so many comments on it, lol.
I did like Aiden English's story when he decided to shave. At Wrestlemania, no less, he competed in his battle royal match with hair, went backstage, went "OK SHAVE IT" and came out with Rusev later in the night bald. Haha.

I’ve often wondered what it would have looked like if Hogan would have just shaved it off and kept the mustache. Guys completely shaving their heads was far from the style in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Would he have been less over?
I honestly think Austin and Goldberg helped popularize the shaved-head look for white guys. Before that era, it was something you just didn’t really see, and was kind of a gimmick/punchline when you did.

Graceful: Patrick Stewart Not: Dory Funk Jr. Patrick Stewart was originally not going gracefully. He had a bad combover like a tuft of hair or something like that before he got famous. His friends held him down at a party and cut it off because he looked terrible and they wanted to show him that he'd look much better bald. It was still something of a sensitive subject at times, with people making mocking comments when TNG was newly announced, asking why baldness had not been cured by then. Gene Roddenberry stood up for him and said, "By then, they wouldn't need to", which Stewart mentioned being grateful for. Personally, I shave my head. I don't really miss hair, I thankfully have a good head shape for a shaved head and it breathes so much better, but it does mean I need hats sometimes. You don't realize how much hair, even stubble, retains heat until you're clean shaven. |

 Identical twins Matt and Luke Goss, Luke let his hair go gracefully and carved out a niche in Hollywood, and Matt hung on to his. |

Not sure what category Jude Law would be here.
Like, he's been balding for so long that it just seems like his natural hairline at this point.
