Here Are 45 Male Celebrities Who Bleached Their Hair And Surprisingly Pulled It Off
Keep in mind, while Orlando Bloom as Legolas was everyone's brunette-to-blonde awakening, I'm only including natural hairdos going double platinum and not store-bought bussdowns.
"As someone who's attracted to dark-haired men, Legolas had me in a fucking CHOKEHOLD."

Older People Reveal "Forgotten Things" From The '70s
Maybe it's a mid-life crisis, or maybe it's just adulting, but I've recently become obsessed with reading about what life was like in decades past. And what better way to do that than by learning from people who were actually there for all the chaos that unfolded in recent history? Why not let them tell us some details we probably aren't aware of? And this time, we're gonna focus on the '70s — because, yes, that was 50 years ago now. Older people on Reddit have recently been answering the question: "What part of the 1970s do people like to forget about?" Without further ado, here are some of the top responses... "The sexual freedom that followed Roe v. Wade. So many people were screwing so many others. The porn film Deep Throat was a top-10 movie the year it was released. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was released in late 1969, but its impact led to the '70s." "Pollution. In LA, you never saw the 10,000 ft mountains right next to the city because the smog was so thick." "Rampant, over-the-top sexism, even in a supposedly liberal community. I was a young woman then. It was bad, really bad. As a newlywed, I had gotten a good job, and the boss immediately told me if I didn't put out 'like the rest of them' I would lose it. I walked out of the office and told my husband when I got home. He met that guy in the parking lot after work — and I went to work the following day and he left me alone. Not because he wanted to, but because he knew his ass was grass if he bothered me. Women without the support of a man were out of luck and abused daily. It was so bad." "So much drunk driving." "The inflation was insane. Remember Nixon's attempt to freeze it? It should have been greeted with cheers, but it was a complete public relations failure." "Smoking everywhere. Subways, zoos, movie theaters, elementary schools, etc." "Carpets in the bathroom and kitchen. This was quite common in my neighborhood, so I'm guessing others have hate for this too." "Getting camera film developed." "The steps made to begin cleaning up the environment. It's not something we 'like' to forget about, but many people don't remember or realize the progress made to clean up our environment. The expectation of taking care of our planet has become commonplace; it didn't used to be like that. There is still a lot of work to do, but we've come a long way in 50 years. "White men with curly perms wearing one-piece leisure suits." "All the bombings. In the early '70s there were 2,500 bombings on US soil, nearly five a day." "Fear of getting swallowed up by quicksand." "The people who thought that seat belts and airbags were depriving them of liberty." "Many young girls went missing over those years. We were so naive about the presence of evil." "I remember no AC in the hot, humid days, the teachers would turn off the lights to make it cooler." "The backlash of society against the vibes of hippie culture." "In Canada, women were not allowed to get credit (card/loans) without a male co-signing. In France, kindergarteners were still given a glass of wine. Oh, and they were still guillotining people." "I was 14 years old in 1978. My guidance counsellor reviewed my course selections for the next year of high school and one of my choices was chemistry. He looked at me and said, 'Now, why would a young lady need don't we change that to secretarial skills instead?' And me, being a kid not knowing any better, I said 'OK' and he enrolled me to learn how to type and do shorthand/dictation like a good little girl. That's what I don't miss about the 1970s: being told as a young lady that I have limited things that I should be preparing for and doing in my life." "I was a kid in the '70s, and I remember everything stank. The cars on the road, indoors (tobacco smoke), trash piled up by the the streams and rivers were foul." "The rise of recreational use of pills. Reds, yellows, rainbows, Quaaludes, white crosses, and the rise of methamphetamine." "People like to forget about at least 50% of the pop music from the '70s, because it was awful." "The lack of wildlife. It was rare to see deer, and unheard of to see eagles in their habitat in the midwest. They made a comeback in the '80s and are common now, even though the human population has grown." "In the '70s I was 8–18. As a kid, I remember the nightly news and all the stories about Vietnam, and seeing news reporters with the soldiers out in the field. They were showing dead people on the news and people getting shot on the news. It was the first war that was shown every night on the nightly news. Which helped fuel a lot of the anti-war protests. It was a big relief to me when the war ended before I turned 18." "The general 'malaise' (what we'd call the 'vibe' today), especially toward the end. The economy, the oil shortages, the general sense that America was a mess, a longing for the 'good old days' of the 1950s." "How long it took to cook! When I was a kid, I had to wait for 45 fucking minutes for a turkey pot pie to cook, from the freezer, in the oven. Now, with microwaves and toaster ovens, cooking is so much faster." "Getting shit TV reception and having to constantly adjust the aerial. Only having like four channels: ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS." "People forget that raising 'free range' kids, '70s–80s-style, really did entail putting children into danger that they probably should not have been put into. There was a gap between moms in the neighborhood being home and a sense of neighborhood/community of the '50s–'60s, and kids were being dumped into a world they were unprepared for without any oversight or protection. By the age of 7, I was coming home alone to an unlocked house in an area full of transient weirdos living in rented duplexes — no one knew you, no one cared, and creeps abounded; I didn't even know my parents' work numbers. I was left alone at night with infants in my care by the time I was 11. It was terrifying. My parents only cared about their own lives and their own good times — and they were respectable professionals! Can't even imagine what people whose parents were actually scumbags were experiencing." Now that we've covered the '70s, let's talk about the '80s! People who were there, what's one thing nobody talks about anymore that was rampant 40 years ago?

7 predictions for James Gunn's Superman Saga
Following the success of Superman in theaters, writer-director James Gunn announced that he is now working on the next film in his Superman Saga. Gunn's revelation means there will be many more exciting stories on the big screen surrounding the Man of Steel and his friends in the new DC Universe. Superman's story has set up many possible narratives for its sequel films, which could feature new and returning characters and teams. While the DCU is still unfolding, here are some predictions of what shall come in the rest of James Gunn's Superman Saga. Lex Luthor forms the Legion of Doom At the end of Superman, Lex Luthor is arrested for his crimes and taken to Belle Reve, where the government imprisons supervillains and metahumans. From there, he could end up assembling a league of villains to escape prison and get revenge on Superman and the Justice Gang for foiling his plans. Recommended Videos The DCU has introduced or will introduce villains who could be a part of Lex's group, such as Circe, Gorilla Grodd, and Sinestro, so it seems like the franchise will eventually show them teaming up against the Man of Steel and his allies. Brainiac appears One major Superman villain who has yet to receive a big-screen debut is Brainiac. There have been varying backstories for this character, with some adaptations making him an AI created by Kryptonians. Nevertheless, this villain remains one of the most fearsome figures in the DC franchise, having invaded and harvested countless worlds in his pursuit to collect all knowledge. The character was reportedly set to appear in the cancelled Man of Steel sequel. Now, Gunn has the opportunity to bring this character into another Superman film. Ultraman returns as Bizarro Despite his title, Ultraman was more like the villain Bizarro in that he was a mindless clone of Superman, and the sequels could further embrace his comic book roots. In Superman, Ultraman was knocked into the rift below Luthor's pocket universe. It's unclear if he survived. While he may seem like a one-off villain, Gunn has the opportunity to bring the Kryptonian clone back in a spectacular way. A sequel film could embrace Bizarro's comic book roots by revealing that Ultraman ended up in an alternate universe based on the Bizarro World. During his time there, he could not only develop a zombie-esque appearance like Bizarro, but he could also develop sentience and become a far more deadly and compelling villain. Superman and Supergirl team up While Supergirl made a cameo at the end of Superman, she could have a bigger role in the Man of Steel's next film. As a Kryptonian, she has immense powers rivaling her cousin's, so she could be a huge help in fighting whatever big villain Superman has to face in the future. It could also give the filmmakers the chance to further explore their dynamic as cousins and the last children of Krypton. Her adventure in her upcoming solo film could catch the attention of another cosmic villain, inadvertently setting the stage for Superman's next big battle on Earth. Ultraman returns with Crime Syndicate If Ultraman ends up in an alternate universe after Superman, he could, instead of becoming Bizarro, join the Crime Syndicate like his comic book counterpart. The Syndicate is essentially a darker version of the Justice League from another universe, featuring evil versions of heroes like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. By sending Ultraman into the interdimensional rift, Superman could've secretly set up a future war between both teams in a crossover event similar to Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Superman battles the Authority The DCU has been slowly building up to the Authority's debut, having already introduced one of its core members, the Engineer, in Superman. Since the character survived the events of the film, she could return for a rematch against Supes in a sequel, except she may fight alongside the other members of the Authority. This team-up against the Man of Steel could make for an especially challenging conflict in a sequel. It could also allow Gunn to introduce the Authority and build up more hype for them before releasing their solo film. Rogol Zaar appears In the DCU, Clark's Kryptonian parents are revealed to have sent their son to Earth so he could conquer the planet and breed with humanity to preserve the Kryptonian race. This implies that Kryptonians were an imperialist race of invaders, giving them a poor reputation across the cosmos. Thus, Superman paves the way for Rogol Zaar to appear as a villain in a future film. Rogol Zaar is an alien warrior hellbent on eradicating the Kryptonian race. This modern DC villain views the Kryptonians as a universal plague. Not only does Zaar claim to have destroyed the planet Krypton, but he was also so powerful that Superman had to team up with General Zod to defeat him. If Zaar were to appear in the DCU, the Kryptonians' history of conquering planets could give him an understandable reason to want to destroy them all. Plus, the DCU could then have Clark team up with Supergirl and Zod in a surprising new story.

'Superman' Actor and Star Dies
Terence Stamp, best known for his role playing the villain General Zod in the blockbuster films Superman and Superman II, has died at the age of 87. The news on Stamp, who first broke out as a popular actor in London in the 1960s, came from his family. Stamp, an Oscar-nominated actor, leaves behind a legacy of movies that were popular with a range of generations. He starred in Pier Paolo Pasolini's Theorem in 1968, A Season in Hell in 1971 and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994, to name a handful. So, he was more than just the Superman actor. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," his family said in a statement sent out on Aug. 17. They added, "We ask for privacy at this sad time." According to Reuters, Stamp was born in London's East End in 1938 and lived through the bombing of the city during World War II. He left school to go into advertising, but theater was calling his name. He won a special scholarship to go to drama school and ended up pursuing the arts. The moved proved a good one for him. Stamp kicked off his feature film career with 1962's seafaring Billy Budd, and the film earned him an Oscar nomination. Later roles for Stamp included, of course, the role of General Zod, the feared head of the Kryptonians, in the 1978 version of Superman and its 1980s sequel. He also appeared in Valkyrie with famed actor Tom Cruise in 2008 and The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon in 2011. His last major film role was in 2021's Last Night in Soho. In The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, he played a transgender woman. "From wearing the high heels, my spine was completely out of alignment, and it took me about six months to get my spine re-orchestrated," he told CBS News in an interview that took place in 1999. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stamp's family during this difficult time.'Superman' Actor and Star Dies first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 17, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
