James Nesbitt Looks Unrecognisable As He Debuts New Hair
James Nesbitt shocked fans last night when he appeared at the Ballon D’Or gala with a much fuller hairline.
The actor was presenting at the FIFA ceremony alongside co-host Kate Abdo, with the event being held at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, however, fans were more interested in James’ new ‘do than any other aspect of the night.

The Irish star appeared on The Graham Norton show just last week with much shorter locks, leaving fans to speculate whether he’d used a weave to get the look:
And James Nesbitt’s hair has grown so fast since the Graham Norton programme on Friday

Does Messi get to keep the #BallondOr? And does James Nesbitt get to keep his hair? Both very impressive.

James has made no secret of the fact that he is losing his hair, previously undergoing operations after admitting that he feared going bald.
Admitting that he used to be “obsessed” with trying to stop his receding hairline, James shared: “Several years ago, I began losing my hair and like a lot of men it was a major concern to me, in fact it was practically an obsession.

“But, also I’m an actor so I’m in the public eye a lot and I really felt that my hair loss could affect my career prospects.”
Back in 2001 James also revealed he’d been taking vitamin tablets in a bid to slow his hair loss, and also used lotion that “made his scalp feel like it was going to explode”.

He said at the time: “It opens the pores of the scalp to encourage new growth. It’s ridiculous, but it’s horrible going bald. Anyone who says it isn’t is lying.”
James hasn’t yet commented on the hype surrounding last night’s look.
