Now, pull out your magnifying glass and get those latex gloves on because here’s where the real detective work begins. In May, an anonymous submission was shared on DeuxMoi’s Instagram stories. It read: “This A-list musician/ occasional actor has a dirty little secret he hasn’t shared with fans. Literally! He has gone almost completely bald. his hairpiece is so lifelike that only a good eye could pick it out, and that’s on a bad day.” The gossip was posted under the title “Hidden Hollywood hairline.” 

After this was posted, the account asked users to stop sending emails about Machine Gun Kelly’s hairline, implying that a lot of people think they found the toupé-wearing culprit. The theory seemed like it held up, considering Machine Gun Kelly is a musician and actor. However, shortly after, a person who claimed to have sent the original email vetoed it. “I sent that email and it’s not about MGK,” they wrote, which only led to more theories.

Of course, nothing Deuxmoi posts is verified, not even close, so this could easily just be another ridiculous internet rumour from a 15-year-old with too much time on their hands. Also, submissions are sent via a form, so a user could easily use a fake email address, which makes it impossible to fact-check. 

Thankfully, we may have found a saviour, a platform that can answer all of our wildest questions. TikTok. Widely revered as having one of the finest user bases when it comes to online investigation, we’re honestly surprised the CIA hasn’t started plucking up these TikTok detectives. TikTok was the first platform to suggest the mystery celeb was Harry Styles with user @abbi.henry posting her theory on July 7th, a video that has now racked up five million views. 

In the video, she goes on to explain her thinking behind the revelation. “He did say [that] when he goes out in public and doesn’t want to be spotted it’s really easy to do”, Abbi says, explaining that the best way to do that would be to have no hair. Considering that Harry’s waves are so infamous, the theory grabbed attention, and since then, videos from fans analysing fancams at Styles’ recent tour dates across Europe have gone viral. In the slowed-down clips Styles’ hair eerily seems to come away from his entire head.
