Joel McHale: ‘Fully Bald’ After Four Hair Transplants

A beloved sitcom star has revealed a rather surprising secret: that he’s ‘fully bald’ but fans will never know it.

The actor and comedian – who has both hosted talk shows and game shows and starred in some recent hit comedy shows – made the admission during a podcast.

The actor is in his early 50s, but he revealed that he has gone through a whopping four hair transplants solely to stave off baldness.

He also admitted to shelling out over $10K per procedure, which he had done in Los Angeles… although he ‘knows a guy’ in Turkey.

While he wouldn’t divulge when he had the first procedure, he did admit to first getting one when the technology wasn’t quite as up to date as it is now.

Who is this sitcom star who has admitted to being fully bald without the help of four transplants? The answer may surprise you.

A beloved sitcom star has revealed a rather surprising secret: that he’s ‘fully bald’ but fans will never know it.

He also admitted to shelling out over $10K per procedure, which he had done in Los Angeles … although he ‘knows a guy’ in Turkey.

It’s none other than Community and Animal Control star Joel McHale, who made the admission on Sunday’s episode of the We Might Be Drunk podcast.

When one of the hosts admitted to trying hair transplants, McHale admitted, ‘Yeah, I’m fully bald. [I’ve had] four transplants.’

‘I did it way back when it was a strip. Painful. Don’t do a strip. Do plucking. Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it’s a miracle,’ the actor added of the technology.

When one of the hosts asked who his ‘guy’ was, McHale named Parsa Mohebi, a Los Angeles-based hair restoration specialist.

The actor admitted that, ‘A lot of people go to Turkey’ to get their hair done, adding he can, ‘get you a guy’ if the host who was considering it wanted to go that route. 

‘But just make sure, because if somebody is like, ‘I’ll do it for $3,000,’ then you don’t. You get what you pay for,” he advised.

When McHale was asked how much it would cost to get it done right, he said it would cost about $10,000, but he would have paid even more.

McHale added, ‘And it’s your hair that you’re growing,’ before explaining why he had to do the process four times.

‘You’re still going bald, so that hair is still falling out, but the hair that you put there is growing, but you’ll still thin, because the hair that was going to fall out is going to fall out,’ McHale admitted.

When asked how the recovery process is, the actor said, ‘They send you home with Tylenol,’ adding, ‘If you shave your head, it goes faster.’

McHale added that he would wear ‘baseball hats’ during the recovery process, adding that the wait list is ‘a year and a half’ already.

The actor said they are ‘still working’ on a pill that would supposedly cure baldness, adding, ‘they are still trying to unlock the DNA but they thought that would be solved 15 years ago.’
