From Orlando Bloom’s elvish locks to Brad Pitt’s mega quiff, these are film’s worst hairdos
Whether it is suspect mullets or weird wigs, we celebrate the dodgiest big-screen barnets
WE'VE all been subject to a dodgy haircut or two in our time but at least the image won't live on forever more in film.
Unlike these guys.
We bring you the silver screen's most questionable haircuts...
Sean Penn in Carlito’s Way (1993)
As an unhinged mob lawyer, Penn’s performance was electric, but whoever thought this bubble perm was a good idea needs taking out.
Nicolas Cage in Con Air (1997)
Never one for good grooming, Cage’s Michael-Bolton-esque hair in this oddly enjoyable felons on a plane tale was, to be blunt, criminal.
Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys (1987)
A classic mullet for Mr Sutherland – and bleached blond, too.
At the time, Kiefer’s bad-boy vampire look was the last word in nihilistic cool.
Colin Farrell in Alexander (2004)
Alexander The Great famously feared running out of worlds to conquer.
Here, Farrell appears to fear running out of conditioner.
Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings (2001-2003)
In the books, the elves are easily the coolest characters.
On the big screen, however, they look like extras from a 1980s music video.

Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
This ‘do was presumably meant to make Ledger look like Jim Morrison.
Sadly, he looks more like a Bill-And-Ted-era Keanu Reeves.
David Bowie in Labyrinth (1986)
The irony of this monstrosity is that it came at a time when Bowie’s real hair was at its best.
We’ll just put on Let’s Dance and forget about it.
