The Hollywood film industry has produced many bald icons, but who’s been the most successful of them all? 

Longevita Hair Transplant, a UK-based hair loss solutions provider, conducted a comprehensive analysis of bald celebrities, delving into their: 

• Net worth
• Number of films
• Average IMDb film rating
• Worldwide box office earnings
• Awards won
• Nominations
• Social media fanbase
• Global search volume 

Let’s find out who took the crown! 

Samuel L. Jackson 

As one of Hollywood’s most bankable and prolific living actors, Samuel L. Jackson topped the list of bald actors with a success score of 63.3 out of 100.

Out of all the actors on the list, he had done the most films – 154 in total – giving him a perfect score of 100 in that category. His overall success score was also bolstered by the 6.4/10 average IMDb rating for his films, earning him a score of 88.9 for that. 

Moreover, he bagged a 96/100 for all the times he’s been nominated for awards, which is a whopping 95!

Bruce Willis

Taking second place with an overall success score of 60.7 is none other than one of America’s greatest action stars – Bruce Willis. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
123	5.6/10	$5.2 billion	22	54	0	$250 million	4.6 million	60.7/100

Known for his Die Hard franchise and many other blockbuster hits, he’s the only other actor in the list to have done more than 100 films, 123 to be precise, earning him 79.9 for the number of films. Yet, he earned the highest score for his global search volume, reaching an impressive 4.6 million.

Dwayne Johnson

Known for his charismatic personality and tons of eyebrow raises in a whole lot of jungle movies, it’s no surprise that Dwayne Johnson is the third most successful actor on the list with an overall score of 59.9. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
45	6.2/10	$5.06 billion	22	74	554.1 million	$800 million	2.3 million	59.9/100

Being one of the biggest contemporary stars, Dwayne Johnson’s net worth is the highest of all the bald actors on the list, standing at an astonishing $800 million (rivalling that of Taylor Swift!). 

He also has a mammoth aggregate following of over 550 million across all his socials, earning him the highest fanbase score of 100. 

J.K. Simmons

Best known for his supporting roles (which are anything but), J.K Simmons is another one of the Hollywood greats. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
89	6.4/10	$11.1 billion	64	55	0	$20 million	166.6K	58.3/100

Taking into account his impressive tally of 64 awards and the staggering global earnings exceeding $11 billion from films where he played a supporting role, he more than made up for his (very) relatively small net worth of $20 million. 

Securing a perfect 100 in both awards and worldwide film earnings, Simmons achieved an overall success score of 58.3 out of 100.

John Travolta

Travolta’s another bald Hollywood icon who’s known for his versatility, showcased by his works in films like Carrie, Saturday Night Fever, and Pulp Fiction, among many other hits. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
70	5.7/10	$3.9 billion	52	65	15.2 million	$250 million	1.5 million	52.9/100

He made it fifth on the list with a total score of 52.9, bolstered by the 52 awards he’s won and his average IMDb rating of 5.7, giving him scores of 81.3 and 79.2 in the two categories, respectively.

Stanley Tucci 

Not only is Tucci the internet’s boyfriend, but he’s also done quite well for himself in the film industry, not surprising considering his masterful acting in a wide range of roles. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
88	6.2/10	$8.6 billion	31	64	6.3 million	$25 million	1.1 million	51.5/100

His 88 films average a 6.2 on IMDb, giving him an 86.1. Almost as impressive was his box office earnings score of 77.3 for films in which he’s played a supporting role, which have grossed over 8 billion dollars! 

Robert Duvall 

A G.O.A.T in the film industry, Robert Duvall is one of Hollywood’s finest, having done films like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and The Apostle, among 90 others. He achieved an overall success score of 51.2 on this list. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
95	6.6/10	$3.1 billion	60	66	369K	$70 million	340K	51.2/100

Averaging a 6.6 on IMDb, he’s among the few who scored 90 and above in this category. He also has the second-highest number of award victories, totalling 60.

Ben Kingsley 

Gandhi, Shostakovich, Sweeney Todd, Pandolfini, Ibn Sina, Salvador Dali, and the list goes on when it comes to the portrayal of historical figures by Ben Kingsley, who is hands down the king of this genre. 

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
75	6.3/10	$5.9 billion	49	73	0	$60 million	286.5K	50.5/100

For the 75 films he has done, he has an average IMDb film rating of 6.3, giving him a score of 87.5. Overall, he had a success score of 50.5, making him the 8th most successful bald actor alive.

Woody Harrelson

Woody has to be one of the most underrated actors, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been successful.

Number of Films	Average IMDb Rating	Box Office Revenue	Awards Won	Awards Nominations	Social Fanbase	Net Worth	Search Volume	Success Score
76	6.5/10	$2.07 billion	29	99	6.4 million	$70 million	1 million	47.7/100

His $70 million net worth might be low compared to the Hollywood standard, however, he’s done about the same number of films as Ben Kingsley i.e. 76. 

His average film ratings are at an impressive 6.5, earning him a score of 90.3 for that. And he’s the actor with the highest number of nominations – 99 – compared to all the others on the list. Woody has an overall success score of 47.7.

Sir Patrick Stewart 

As the captain of the Starship Enterprise and the leader of the X-men, could Sir Patrick Stewart’s Hollywood stature become even more legendary? 

The actor’s net worth and fanbase scores were in single digits – 9.4 and 2.1, respectively – but he made up for a lot of it with his 6.3 average IMDb rating, earning him an 87.5 for that. The living legend achieved an overall success score of 42.8, making him the 10th most successful bald actor on this list. 

Methodology

1. Longevita Hair Transplant conducted an online search using the keywords “bald actors” and “successful bald actors.”
2. Several lists and names were sourced from GQ, Good Housekeeping, Esquire, and IMDb to discern those recognised as “bald,” “top,” “best,” “powerful,” and “famous.”
3. These lists were cross-referenced and those mentioned more than once were selected. A total of 24 actors were reviewed. Predominantly TV actors and singers were excluded. 

4. Celebrity Net Worth was used to collect the data for each actor’s net worth. 
5. The Numbers and IMDb were used to collect data for the number of films and the latter to calculate the average ratings of all the films. 
6. The Numbers was used to collect data on worldwide box office grossing for only acting credits in categories (“leading,” “supporting,” or “actor”) for which the actor is best known.   
7. IMDb was used to acquire data on the awards and nominations per actor.
8. For the social media fanbase, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and X accounts’ followers and subscribers were considered. Except for Stanley Tucci and Taye Diggs’ X accounts, only verified accounts were included.

9. Semrush was used to find the monthly global average search volume for each actor. 
10. In each category, 100 points were assigned to the most successful person, while the rest were calculated proportionally. An average for all the metrics was then calculated for the overall score.
