After watching Vin Diesel in some of our favorite Hollywood action films over the past 20 years, it’s easy to spot the 53-year-old actor in a crowd. Between his ripped body and bald head, he typically has the same look for most of his movies. So, it’s pretty hard to believe that once upon a time he actually had a full head of hair.
Diesel graduated high school in 1985 from New York City’s Anglo American School. And in his senior class photo, not only does he seem like the best-dressed teenager in the building, but he’s rocking his thick black hair and looks almost unrecognizable. Some fans even thought the actor looked strangely similar to rapper and singer Drake. But we’ll let you be the judge of that.
Since then, Diesel seems perfectly fine keeping his bald look. But every now and then, fans get the chance to see a glimpse of a few different hairstyles, thanks to some of his past movie roles. In 2004 he starred in The Chronicles of Riddick where he had snow-filled locs and an icy beard.
On the other hand, in 2006 he played a mobster in Find Me Guilty with a very realistic prosthetic belly and wig.
Although Diesel's movies with hair are pretty rare, he has no problem going with a big switch, like in his 2015 film The Last Witch Hunter, where Diesel played a knight with a voluminous undercut and braided beard.
Not only does Diesel look awesome with a perfectly shaved head, but he can clearly kill any other look, whether it’s his own hair or a wig. No complaints here!
