Gene Hackman wouldn't go bald for Lex Luthor role

Lex Luthor is one of the most recognisable comic book villains of all time, and his bald head has become a staple characteristic of his.

Still, that didn’t mean anything to Gene Hackman!

The actor refused to shave his head for the role, and even dismissed the idea of wearing a bald cap.

Instead, Gene suggested that Lex would wear a plethora of wigs to imply he was follically challenged.
