While some might not dig people with zero strands atop their heads, the following celebrities have proved that bald is beautiful, whether for a role or their reality! Take a look at those whose shiny domes have impressed over the years.

Bruce Willis wasn’t always a bald man. When he was John McClane he was rocking some hair in arguably the best Christmas movie, Die Hard. Years later, though, Willis embraced his natural head shape and has rocked the heck out of it since.

In the ‘80s Jon Cryer had one of the most epic hairstyles in Pretty in Pink as Ducky, and then he was just a regular guy in the hit CBS series Two and a Half Men.
