Charlie Cox becomes the latest victim of Hollywood beauty standards. The Daredevil fans are enraged as the actor is trolled on the internet for his receding hairline. We have seen how Hollywood beauty standards have grown unrealistically over the years. Cox’s fans claim it has taken an uglier form as people have even stopped considering the effects of natural aging.
Daredevil: Born Again is one of the most hyped upcoming MCU projects. Charlie Cox’s fan-favorite take on the character will make a full-fledged return to the MCU after brief cameos in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk, and Echo. Sadly, some fans are more concerned about the actor’s balding than his much-awaited return.
Even the Daredevil is not spared from Internet bullying
Relentless trolling is among the numerous curses brought to us by the rising social media culture. Numerous actors or celebrities are subjected to online trolling for the lamest things. Charlie Cox is the latest example as the 41-year-old was trolled by an online critic for his hair.
Recently, when actor Jonathan Bailey posted about his rumored preparation to star in the new Jurassic Park film, people questioned the need for a buffed-up hero in a movie focusing on dinosaurs. As sad as it sounds, Hollywood has made it a norm for almost every actor to look like a superhero on-screen. This became evident when a user on X asked Charlie Cox to get a hair transplant.

It is to be noted that Charlie Cox is 41 years old, and it has been almost a decade since we first got him as Daredevil on Netflix. It is also natural for men of his age to experience some hair loss. However, it seems like some fans want the actor to implement some changes to his look instead of keeping it real.
Charlie Cox’s fans come in support of the Marvel actor
Charlie Cox has amassed a widespread fanbase over the years. When the actor faced the unjustified trolling for his hairline, several fans took to X to defend him. They have been vocal against the illogical obsession over men’s hairlines in Hollywood.
While many notable stars have gone under the knife or implemented several changes to hide the natural aging process, fans note that Cox deserves respect for not moving on the same path. Let’s take a look at some fan reactions:
Why are you body shaming the man?

Not everyone is insecure about balding

He’s probably not insecure about it is all. All the power to him.

If he feels good like that I don't see the problem. On the other hand I just noticed how old he's getting. I keep forgetting DD S1 was almost 10 years ago.

It is important to note that both actors and actresses have to face unjustified media scrutiny for their looks. While the craft needs to be noticed, some people are more interested in how they look on screen.
Hopefully, Charlie Cox will shut down all the relentless trolling when his Daredevil: Born Again hits Disney+. Reportedly, this season will continue the story from where we stopped in Netflix’s Daredevil Season 3. On top of that, with the return of fan-favorite stars like Jon Bernthal as Punisher, Born Again is expected to be different than the other MCU Disney+ projects.
Daredevil: Born Again will be released sometime in 2025.
