Andre Agassi could have expected that his confession that he took crystal meth would excite discussion. But the revelation about his wig-wearing is at least as fascinating to many people.

I remember watching the great Agassi at Wimbledon in the 1990s and the way that extraordinary mane of hair, seemingly strapped on with a hair band, would swing around like a dead animal. In his new book, Open, he calls the arrangement a “toupee”, which seems a bit of an understatement. It was clearly a substantial structure. At one point – after Agassi used the wrong hair rinse – the hairpiece threatened to fall apart and required 20 hairclips and the help of his brother Philly to pin it in place.

The tone in which the Las Vegas-born star relates the tale shows an appealing strain of self-mockery which is in marked contrast to the tight-lipped style of most Hollywood types. Actors often go to enormous lengths to conceal what’s really going on on top of their heads and can get quite peevish when asked about it.

Take Ben Affleck, for example. People who keep a close eye on these matters – and there are lots of them, especially on the internet – say his hairline appears to have changed shape, suspiciously, and that in some pictures some of his hair appears not to have a beginning. Mr Affleck is married to Jennifer Garner. Probably only Ms Garner knows the true state of his hair.
