Does Ben Affleck Wear a Hairpiece?

I’ve heard it said more than once (Salon.com, Maxim) that Ben Affleck wears a hairpiece. I need some info on this. Why should I give a shit? Well, mostly to deflate an annoying crush a female friend of mine has on this guy. He’s had the same haircut since GOOD WILL HUNTING, you never see his hairline, and, in general, his hair has a definite toupeeish look to it. Info appreciated

I guess the only people who know are his barber, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez.

I think his hair just comes out weird in some photos, all wiry and poufy like he’s coated it with Hair-in-a-Can. In this photo it looks like the real deal…

The folks over at www.fametracker.com seem to think it’s a rug. But as far as I can remember, nobody’s been able to provide any real evidence.

A hairpiece? Well, maybe not on his head. But a lot of us think he’s got a beard.

That’s funny, on the last Sunday edition of Entertainment Tonight, Leonard Maltin pointed out how Affleck goes through a nuclear explosion without a hair getting out of place.
