James Haskell has recently undergone a hair transplant to address his concerns about thinning hair, according to MailOnline. The 39-year-old former England rugby star was spotted leaving the Restore Hair Clinic on Harley Street on Tuesday, wearing a blue hospital gown and showing a newly shaven head with visible marks from the procedure.
The day before, Haskell revealed at an event in Newcastle that he had been offered the hair transplant for free and decided to proceed. The clinic describes its treatment as a “cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgery,” performed by an experienced surgeon.
Haskell has openly discussed his worries about hair loss in the past. Two years ago, he mentioned the possibility of getting his hair “sorted out.” He stated, “Would I have cosmetic surgery? Probably, if I need it. I’m going to get my hair sorted out at some point because it’s thinning.”
In his book, he reflects on men’s hair loss, noting, “The odd thing is [hair loss] affects so many men, yet they are the first to absolutely destroy anyone with a hint of a receder.” He added, “I look back on teammates that I grilled about their hair and think what a p**** I was, now I am heading albeit slowly the same way.” Haskell also shared his thoughts on unsolicited advice about hair loss, saying, “I get messages telling me, ‘I think it’s time you shaved your head,’ or ‘Come on mate, get a transplant,’ from people I have never met. I think they consider it as banter.”
Following his split from Chloe Madeley last year after a decade together, Haskell is now back in the dating scene. Earlier this year, he was seen enjoying a night out at celebrity hotspot Gilgamesh in London, getting cozy with a mystery woman in the VIP area. A source shared that he looked to be having a great time, chatting and laughing with her throughout the night.
Despite their breakup, Chloe’s father, Richard Madeley, revealed that the two remain close and have even traveled to France together. Chloe also mentioned that they are “very good friends” and spend a lot of time together. Richard stated they have a “very happy uncoupling,” maintaining a “very civilised relationship” as co-parents to their two-year-old daughter, Bodhi. Haskell frequently visits their home, reflecting their amicable relationship.
