Prince William decrowned, Vin Diesel is the hottest bald man of 2022

It has been over a year since Prince William was crowned the sexiest bald man alive. This study has generated a huge debate online with hundreds of tweets and many celebrities such as Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Mike Tyson discussing the controversial results.

To put an end to the debate, this year Reboot SEO Agency further refined the methodology behind the scenes in order to determine who is the sexiest bald man of 2022 once and for all! 

In this study we looked at a wider number of factors such as facial golden ratio, Twitter sentiment analysis (looking at over 2.45 million tweets!), net worth and height. These factors were then used to create an index score out of 10. Furthermore, Reboot SEO Agency also looked at the cranial shine factor for each individual.

Without further ado … these are the top 5 sexiest bald men of 2022!

1. Vin Diesel—sexy score of 6.46/10

Ripping the crown out of Prince William’s luscious bald head, Vin Diesel is named the sexiest bald man of 2022! How is that possible, you may ask? Apart from his obvious sex appeal, the actor scored very highly on almost all index factors. When it comes to the shine factor, the study shows that Vin Diesel’s head is rather shiny, with a cranial luminance of 563.65 cd/m2 which makes his head reflect light at 70.46 percent of that of a standard light bulb. He is also just above the average height in men at 1.82 metres (5.9 feet). All these factors (and a few others) earned him a sexy score of 6.46/10. 

2. Stanley Tucci—sexy score of 6.33/10

A fan favourite of last year, people on Twitter will be happy to know that Stanley Tucci is named the second sexiest slap head in 2022! In fact, 17 percent of the tweets about Mr. Tucci regard him as good looking. An analysis of his facial features reveals a golden ratio proximity of 75.83 percent, second only to Jason Statham at 78.09 percent. Overall, Stanley Tucci received a sexy score of 6.33/10. 

3. Shemar Moore—sexy score of 6.25/10

In third place we have the S. W. A. T. actor, Shemar Moore, with a sexy score of 6.25/10. Apart from the fact his oozing confidence makes him very attractive (not to mention the police uniforms he wears on set), Shemar Moore has an even shinier head than Vin Diesel, with his head reflecting light at 71.85 percent of that of a standard light bulb. Furthermore, 30.24 percent of all tweets mentioning him are depicting him as sexy, scoring the highest percentage when it comes to that index factor.

4. Pitbull—sexy score of 6.16/10

Mr Worldwide, also known as Pitbull, comes in fourth place with a sexy score of 6.16/10. The international singer’s facial analysis reveals a golden ratio score of 67.69 percent. There are also 21.59 percent of tweets depicting Pitbull as attractive, making him the second sexiest bald man according to Twitter data, second only to Shemar Moore at 30.24 percent. 

5. Prince William—sexy score of 6.13/10

Prince William may be the 2021 king of the bald men, however in 2022 he comes in fifth place with a sexy score of 6.13/10. The study shows that 15.69 percent of all tweets regarding Prince William depict him as sexy. The Prince of Wales is also the second tallest man within the top 10 finalists of the study, at a height of 1.91 metres (6.2 feet), second only to Dwayne ”The Rock” Johnson at 1.96 metres (6.4 feet).

Methodology

1. Reboot SEO Agency performed a multivariate study to identify the sexiest bald celebrity. The research utilises social media analytics consisting of over 2.45 million tweets along with an anthropometric analysis using computer vision algorithms to compute the geometric golden ratio proximity for each celebrity.
   
   
2. Firstly, a seed list of notable bald celebrities was used to scrape over 2.45 million tweets dating from 2017 onwards. Tweets were required to contain either the official twitter handle or a popular hashtag for each celebrity.
   
   
3. One-hot encoding was subsequently applied to identify tweets containing words, as well as emojis, synonymous with sexy. The resulting dataset was aggregated to compute the percentage of all tweets containing sexual references as well as the average number of likes for those tweets.
   
   
4. Images required for the computation of the geometric golden ratio proximity for each celebrity were then collected. The inherent face variability from a multitude of confounding factors including varying expressions, illuminations and poses increase entropy within our model. The relative impact of such factors is controlled and mitigated through strict photo selection criteria ensuring a standardised sample of up to 3 images per person per year.
   
   
5. A computer vision algorithm was then used to identify facial landmarks of prominent facial features. Subsequently, ratios between the computed landmarks were then used to approximate the geometric golden ratio of each image. Each celebrity's golden ratio approximation was then determined as the average ratio across all samples for that celebrity.
   
   
6. The cranium luminance was then computed following the methodology described on Wikipedia - relative luminance. The methodology was applied specifically to a cropped image of the celebrity’s head.

Note: insufficient reflectance from Prince William’s cranium meant cranial luminance could not be computed.

7. The social media analytics along with golden ratio approximations and additional statistics such as height and net worth were used to create an index score out of 10.
