Scared of Going Bald, Joe Rogan Did the ‘Dumbest Thing Ever’ – “I Have This Giant Scar…”

56-year-old Joe Rogan is one of those rare personalities who is a master of many skills. Rogan is not only famous for his association with the UFC but is known for his stand-up comedy as well. He is also the host of the famous JRE podcast and has previously worked as a TV presenter as well. The JRE host is currently at the pinnacle of his career and has achieved a lot of success. However, he has one grievance to date, which involves getting a scar on his head. But how did he get such a massive scar?

The UFC color commentator has a big scar on the back of his head. The 56-year-old once shared the details of the entire process on his JRE podcast. Rogan used the strip harvesting method, which is the most common procedure for hair transplant. The biggest drawback of the procedure is that it leaves a mark on the posterior scalp, which is visible on the back of Rogan’s head. Speaking on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ in 2018, the veteran confessed, “Well, I had a hair transplant. That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.”

He further made it clear as to why he decided to get a hair transplant. Rogan, since his early twenties, has always been a renowned TV personality. However, his fear of missing out on opportunities forced him to get a hair transplant as admitted by him. The Newark native revealed, “I just was scared that I was going bald. I was like, what can you do? And they tell you they can fix it.”

However, things did not go as per the plan as Rogan claimed that rather than fixing the issue, he received a scar on his head because of the procedure. “I have this giant scar on the back of my head. It looks like a smile… It’s like a piece of meat,” concluded the color commentator. Currently, the JRE host is one of the most renowned faces in the world. His ability to engage in conversations with multiple people has already made him a fan favorite.

Rogan is also known for his intense workouts and his famous diets, which makes him one of the fittest in the industry. However, there was a time in his career when he was concerned about getting work.

Why Joe Rogan was stressed during his early days?

Before becoming a successful UFC color commentator and a renowned JRE host, Joe Rogan had a humble beginning. The 56-year-old did quite a lot of TV shows and movies in his early days. He also spent some doing stand-up comedy and quickly made a name for himself. All this success forced Rogan to believe that he was meant for the Television business. But he was quick to find out that he was losing his hair which forced him to get a hair transplant done. In one of the episodes of his JRE podcast while speaking to the guest he shared the exact details.

Rogan said, “I think I was 28, well I just started acting on TV and I was panicking, my hair was like seriously falling out. And I was like, this shit is going quick and I was like where is it gonna go. I knew that part of the reason why I was making money was the way I looked.” 

Clearly, the JRE host has come a long way despite losing his hair early in his career. He is now one of the core members of the UFC and has been a part of many historic events. Rogan thus proved that at the end of the day it is all about one’s ability and skill and not much about the appearance.
