Law & Special Order
Jude Law is the new poster child for the British men’s clothier and accessories store Dunhill and is lookin’ 10 years younger (particularly in the hair department) in new ad campaign photos for the company … behold:
Additionally, Law is the new face of Dior Homme Sport cologne … also lookin’ fresh-faced and sporting a mostly full head of hair in promo ads for them as well — unfortch the reality doesn’t match the fantasy in these pics as it seems clear that his hairline was beefed up a smidge by way of digital manipulation:
Sometimes a chap needs a little help in the hair department. And sometimes, as Jude Law found out, rather a lot. In advertising campaigns for Dunhill and Dior, the actor’s receding hairline has been airbrushed into a luxuriant crop. The widow’s peak so starkly evident in more recent photos has been filled in. The style makes 35-year-old Law look a little more as he did when he first became famous in movies such as The Talented Mr Ripley. While women in the public eye often have imperfections airbrushed out, Law has had perfection brushed in – either through artful hairstyling or plain artistry. Airbrush expert Chris Bickmore said: “I wouldn’t say it was hairstyling as they can’t style hair that isn’t there. It’s definitely been retouched to bring hair into the gaps where he’s receding. It’s not really that difficult a procedure, no more than one and a half hours.”
To be totally honest, I don’t really mind Jude’s disappearing hairline all that much … I mean, it’s not an ideal look for the man but it’s not that terrible. Something about him allows him to wear the receding hairline well. He’s still a hottie … as is evident in these new ad campaigns. So long as he still has a bit of hair on his head, I think he’ll do just fine.

He’s still hot. Even baldness will not put the sizzle out of Jude.

I think he’s far from hot…. I mean i guess he could be… but these pics are just ugh!

He’s still a hot piece. He’s a pretty good looking man so a receding hairline he can handle.

There is something about him that makes me melt!

Wow, I suddenly have the urge to be adventurous outdoors…ice skating, flying, or perhaps some ‘other sport’…

He is soooo handsome. I think he’s hot whether he’s photoshopped or not…I like him au naturale! I think the biggest thing has been made over his hair…like most every model or magazine cover isn’t augmented to the hilt…big freakin’ deal. It’s easy to take shots at someone so handsome when we perceive a flaw…whatever. Hair ain’t no big thing with me.

i’m sick amd tired about reading about the hair. He’s an actor
they use makeup the change hairstyles , color and anything
else. Grow up. You can’t find anything to talk about so you
pick on something really stupid. The face is so gorgeous no
one even looks at the hairline. Read the comments and quit
whining about nonsense. He a tremendously talented great
guy and an amazing father. i have nothing but admiration for
him and as the saying goes – I woudnt change a hair on his
head, no matter how they got there!

He’s got this fakeness to him… I don’t know, he’ll always be Gigolo Joe to me.

BLah. I think it’s COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS to airbrush pictures, to make someone look “perfect”.
It just makes him look worse when you see the pics that AREN’T airbrushed.

“So long as he still has a bit of hair on his head, I think he’ll do just fine.”
That’s great that we are determining someone’s potential level of success based solely on something as superficial as a hairline.
