When asked if he considered himself less or more vain than British men Loew said, 'British men set a low bar', while reflecting on his latest role in the ITV drama Wild Bill, where he plays an American cop policing the English town of Lincolnshire.
Then he went in on the Duke of Cambridge.
'And there’s a pill! The first glimmer that a single hair of mine was going to fall out, I was having that stuff mainlined into my veins. And that’s what I did for the next 30 years,' Loew said, citing his personal effort to keep his healthy mane.

Today the Prince's baldness is much more pronounced but he seems to be unfazed and unbothered to pursue a hair regrowth solution. Pictured above on April 26, 2019
In his younger days, William was known for his lush hair and charming good looks.
But with age, his long locks have gone and his hairline has receded. His hair started to wisp around 2009 and 2010, around the same time he and Kate Middleton got engaged.
By 2016 the top of his hair was gone and in 2018 he rocked a bold shaved head look.
Despite Lowe's critiques, the Prince has always appeared unfazed his baldness and hasn't seemed to pursue a hair regrowth solution.
