Celebrity Hair Transplants Confirmed, Reported & Rumoured

We sort every celebrity hair transplant story by the strength of its evidence: confirmed by the person, reported by a credible outlet, or rumoured from photos alone. Ten of the 54 people below have said publicly that they had a transplant, and each card opens our full analysis of the hairline, the dates and the sources.

Celebrity hair transplants: Mohamed Salah, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and other footballers

How we label each story

Every card carries one of four labels, and each label shows the strongest public evidence we found for that person. A label changes only when the evidence changes, for example when the person speaks about it in public.

ConfirmedThe person said it publicly, in an interview, a post or a video. Wayne Rooney's 2011 tweet is the best known example.10 cases ReportedA credible news outlet reported the procedure, but the person has not confirmed it.3 cases RumouredSpeculation built on photos alone, with no statement and no credible report behind it. Most names on this page sit here.40 cases No transplantThe person comes up in hair transplant searches, but the public record shows they have not had one.1 case

Celebrities who confirmed a hair transplant

Ten people on this page have said publicly that they had a hair transplant, from Wayne Rooney in a 2011 tweet to Jorge Masvidal in 2026. Their own words are the source, so these are the cases you can quote with confidence.

Hair transplants reported by the media

Three cases rest on credible media reports rather than the person's own words. Mohamed Salah, Danny Ings and Andy Murray have not confirmed a procedure, which is why they sit apart from the confirmed list.

Rumoured celebrity hair transplants

Forty names here are rumours: there is no statement from the person and no credible report, only photos that fans compare over the years. We still look at each case closely, because a hairline tracked across dated photos usually says more than the gossip around it.

Celebrity hair transplants: frequently asked questions

Which celebrities have had a hair transplant?

Ten celebrities on this page have confirmed a hair transplant in their own words: Wayne Rooney, Rob Holding, John Cena, Jorge Masvidal, Chris Bumstead, Tyray Mollett, Joel McHale, Akon, Theo Von and Joe Rogan. Three more, Mohamed Salah, Danny Ings and Andy Murray, have been reported by the media without confirming it themselves.

See the confirmed cases

How many hair transplants did Wayne Rooney have?

Wayne Rooney confirmed one hair transplant himself, in a 2011 tweet, and that first procedure rebuilt his hairline. He was later widely reported to have had a second procedure around 2013 for thinning on the crown, but that second one comes from reports, not from Rooney.

Read the Wayne Rooney analysis

What did Elon Musk use to regrow his hair?

Elon Musk has never confirmed a hair transplant or said what he used, so any answer is a reading of photos rather than a fact. Pictures from the early 1990s show clear frontal thinning, and a faint linear scar seen in some later short haircuts is why many observers suspect an early FUT strip procedure followed by FUE touch ups.

Read the Elon Musk analysis

Did Bradley Cooper get a hair transplant?

There is no public confirmation that Bradley Cooper had a hair transplant, and nothing in the evidence we reviewed proves it. Most of the speculation focuses on a hairline change around 2008 and 2009, which is why his case sits with the rumours.

Read the Bradley Cooper analysis

How did David Beckham grow his hair back?

David Beckham has never confirmed or denied a hair transplant, and when thicker hair renewed the speculation in December 2018, his spokesperson called the matter private. Photos from 2018 show thinning on top and receding temples, while his fuller style in 2026 keeps the question alive, so any procedure is a reading of photos rather than a confirmed fact.
