The 31-year-old said of her decision to have a hair transplant: “It’s so common for men now – kind of like a male version of breast augmentation. I decided to do it because my hair loss has really increased over the last year, especially at the front of my scalp. I remember seeing myself on the screen and thinking, ‘Oh my God, it’s really falling out.’ (…) My hair loss has definitely accelerated over the last year. I’ve had some personal issues off the screen that have been stressful and I also suffer from insomnia, which just adds to my stress levels.”

He continued: “One of my friends had a hair transplant and looked so much better afterwards that I didn’t recognize him. I was blown away by the improvement and he told me he wished he had done it sooner. I thought: if I’m going to get it done, I should do it now so I can get longer benefits from it. I want my hair to look the way it did before so I can style it the way I want at the front. It would be great to be able to wear an Elvis quiff and really have fun with my hair.”
