Justin Bieber's alleged picture showing him balding at 31 sparks heated debate on X: 'He took his wife's surname too seriously'
A viral beach photo allegedly showing a bald spot on Justin Bieber's head has sparked heated discussion on X. While some Gen Z users were shocked that the 31-year-old could be balding, many millennials defended it as a normal part of aging.
He may like it or not, but Justin Bieber never fails to gain the spotlight. Once a teen sensation, Justin's stardom hasn¡¯t exactly aged quietly, with rumors of alleged drug use and a rocky marriage with Hailey Bieber regularly popping up online. This time, though, the Baby singer is going viral for a different reason ¡ª a set of alleged beach photos that appear to show a bald spot on the back of his head.
Is Justin Bieber going bald at 31?
A new paparazzi-style photo of a man, alleged to be Justin Bieber, enjoying a beach day has gone viral. The image, shot from a distance, shows a shirtless man with a physique resembling Justin¡¯s ¡ª but what really caught people¡¯s eye was the noticeable bald spot on the back of his head.
The post has racked up more than 21.1 million views, 17k likes, 2.6k reshares, and over 1k comments ¡ª and counting.
While male pattern baldness is far from unusual (even among celebs), the fact that Justin is only 31 reignited the conversation, with the post captioned, ¡°Justin Bieber balding at 31 years is insane.¡± See the viral post below:

Viral post divides fans
The viral post has split the internet. Millennials largely shrugged it off as a normal part of aging, while many Gen Z users seemed stunned that someone with Justin¡¯s money and fame could possibly be balding in his early thirties.
One user wrote, ¡°When the day inevitably comes that Gen Z wakes up no longer young and beautiful, that realization is going to kill people. Literally. We¡¯re hurtling towards a suicide epidemic, social media is speedballing it, and nobody is talking about it.¡±

Another said, ¡°Teenagers discovering that grown adults experience body changes as they age will never not be funny to me.¡±
Some users took the moment to drop hot takes:
¡°Ladies. Never date men over 25. Your prime starts at 30 and only gets better with time, while theirs peaks at 20, and then it¡¯s all downhill. Balding and aging like spoiled milk.¡±

Others joked, ¡°Someone said he took his wife¡¯s surname too seriously,¡± Notably, Hailey Bieber's name before marriage was Hailey Baldwin. Meanwhile, a few suggested he book a flight to Turkey for a transplant ASAP.

To be fair, rumours about Justin¡¯s hair have been swirling for years. It¡¯s been over 15 years since his swoopy side bangs era, and in most of his recent public appearances, Justin wears either a hat or a hoodie, further fueling speculation about a receding hairline or a possible transplant.
He hasn¡¯t publicly addressed the hair loss rumors, so it¡¯s unclear whether he¡¯s opted for any treatments or is simply choosing to keep it private.
