I’m lowkey obsessed with figuring out which Hollywood men have gotten hairplugs and which ones are wearing hairpieces. I find it fascinating! I think in the past two decades, there’s been a lot of advancement in the hair-transplant industry and for some men, the plugs don’t look as noticeable nowadays. So, did Matthew McConaughey get hairplugs? In the 1990s, his hair was thinning, but he’s managed to still “cling” to a somewhat receded hairline for the better part of twenty years. Did he have a surgical intervention? Or did he just apply a magic cream? According to Matthew, it was a magic cream. Mm-hm.

Matthew McConaughey recently got candid about his significant late-1990s hair loss and its seemingly magical regrowth with help from a special serum he still uses today. However, the 52-year-old actor said that a doctor has claimed credit for giving him a hair transplant — which he never actually underwent.

In his memoir “Greenlights” and a recent interview with LADbible, the “Dallas Buyers Club” star said he started to shave his head many years ago because the hair-thinning was so severe. However, he remarkably was able to reverse it.

“How did it grow back? That’s a great mystery,” McConaughey told the outlet, adding that he rubbed a “topical ointment” into his scalp once a day.

“I was fully committed, I was fully committed to it — no Propecia, no nothing, it was just manual labor,” the Texas native said. “All I can tell you is it came back. I have more hair now than I had in 1999.”

However, after his mane began to grow back, he said that people thought he went in for a hair transplant because a surgeon reportedly was claiming that the Oscar-winner paid big bucks for one. McConaughey recalled that he’d even bumped into another doctor in Beverly Hills who told him about the surgeon hitting hair transplant conventions, where he would claim to be responsible for the screen legend’s new ‘do. McConaughey added that the doctor he met in Los Angeles even asked to inspect his hair to see the natural regrowth for himself.

“He goes, ‘Can I just look at your hair? Can I just feel it and see?’” McConaughey recalled. “I said ‘Yeah, man,’ he goes, ‘You don’t have transplants.’ I said, ‘That’s what I said, of course I don’t.’”

The doc then told McConaughey he couldn’t wait to call out the surgeon’s ruse at the next convention. The Austin FC soccer club owner also revealed he’s been applying the same ointment on his scalp for over 20 years now. “I’m not gonna quit to see if, like, ‘Oh, do I need to do it anymore?’ I’m not taking that chance,” McConaughey said.

I’m obsessed with this story and how many people genuinely believe that Matthew’s hair grew back over the years because of a special ointment. It’s far more likely that Matthew did get some kind of hair transplant procedure… but he just went out of the country for it, so he could safely say that he didn’t get worked on by any LA doctor. These kinds of cosmetic surgeries are surely done all over Brazil and Europe, right? So who else has gone down to Brazil or gone over to France to get a little nip, tuck and transplant? I’ve always thought that Tom Cruise is a regular at the best Brazilian clinics. Who else??
