Andre Agassi in 1993, when, odds are, he was wearing a weave.
Somehow, TOTN senior producer Carline Watson, Barrie and I all missed this revelation in the crystal meth-smoke haze: Andre Agassi's famous hair was a weave. As told to 60 Minutes, and re-told by Gawker:
In the early years of his male-pattern baldness, a rabidly narcissistic Agassi took to wearing a flamboyantly high-maintenance weave. As if it wasn't enough that the hair that made him famous was fake, Agassi admits that it was a crappy fake, too: At the 1990 French Open, Agassi's conditioner caused his weave to fall apart, forcing his brother to bobby pin it to his head and the horrified tennis diva to go all sweaty-palmed over whether his scalp pelt would go flying mid-match.
Amazing. Just, amazing. Happy Thursday, people.
