The photos show white-grey hair sprouting thickly along the sides of his head, a dramatic contrast to the smooth, bald appearance that has been his style for years, according to the Daily Mail familiar with his dark-haired, fresh-faced appearance in the early days of Amazon, Bezos has for a long time embraced baldness, a look many identified with his billionaire image, as per the report. The last time he was spotted seeing any significant hair was supposedly back in 2013, but ever since, his bald-headed look has been as iconic as the tech empire he created, according to The Daily Mail report.

The author said that Bezos' lack of hair is a "textbook example of advanced male pattern baldness," and added, "Most likely a Norwood 7, which is the most severe classification on the hair loss scale," as quoted by The Daily pointed out that Bezos has "long embraced his baldness, seen opting for a very closely shaved, clean look that suits his head shape and complements his public image," as quoted in the report. But said that "some remnants of grey hair, which is common given his age," and emphasised that "what we're seeing is simply the natural growth of hair in the remaining donor zone, now more visible due to its slightly longer length," as quoted by the Daily Mail report.

Ravi Kishan Pays Tribute To Late Mukul Dev At Son of Sardaar 2 Trailer Launch: ‘Watch It For Him'

Ravi Kishan pays tribute to late actor Mukul Dev at the Son of Sardaar 2 trailer launch. Urges fans to watch the film in his honour, calling it his final gift. At the grand trailer launch of Son of Sardaar 2 in Mumbai, what began as a joyous celebration soon turned into a poignant moment of remembrance. The film, which features an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, and Ravi Kishan, marks the final screen appearance of late actor Mukul Dev, who passed away just last month. Ravi Kishan, who is said to have stepped into a role originally intended for Sanjay Dutt, led the tribute with a heartfelt message. 'Mukul was very excited about this film," he shared with visible emotion. 'Wherever you are, Mukul, we love you and we miss you. I'd request everyone to watch this film for Mukul. He was an incredible actor, and today, we all feel his absence." Actress Kubbra Sait, who also plays a significant role in the film, fondly remembered the camaraderie she shared with Mukul on set. 'Mukul sir was always the first to arrive on set," she recalled with a smile. 'He was a dear friend, and I loved pulling his leg. All of us, including our director Vijay Arora, would tease him, saying, 'Mukul, you're finally here!' We're really missing him today." Mukul Dev's final days were reportedly marked by personal turmoil. His brother, actor Rahul Dev, revealed that Mukul had been battling loneliness after the loss of their parents and was struggling emotionally. 'He was in the ICU for eight and a half days. It was mainly due to poor eating habits. In his last four-five days, he had stopped eating altogether. Of course, he felt very lonely… he had lost the will to live," Rahul had said in a recent interview. Mukul Dev carved a niche for himself across Hindi and Punjabi cinema, earning love for both serious and comic roles. His performance in the original Son of Sardaar remains etched in fans' memories. Beyond acting, Mukul had also dabbled in screenwriting and was credited with penning the script for Hansal Mehta's critically acclaimed Omerta. As Son of Sardaar 2 readies for its theatrical release, the film stands not just as a comedy caper, but also as a tribute to an artist whose talent and spirit touched everyone he worked with — and whose absence is deeply felt.
