Louis Theroux Reports Hair Regrowth After Alopecia ‘Hit Bottom’ During Netflix Film

His Instagram update follows viewer questions raised by his new Netflix documentary on male‑influencer culture.

Overview

  • In a new Instagram video, Theroux said his hair is growing back and that it looked patchiest when he filmed Inside The Manosphere last year.
  • He said he has taken no medication, made no diet changes, and does not feel less stressed, calling the recovery a mystery.
  • Theroux traced his alopecia to 2021, describing beard loss first, then eyebrows, followed by patches on his scalp.
  • The Netflix documentary investigates online “manosphere” influencers who pitch rigid ideas of masculinity to boys and young men, featuring figures like HSTikkyTokky, Myron Gaines, and Sneako.
  • UK outlets report strong early viewing for the film, with about four million streams in its first week, and say Netflix is exploring further projects with Theroux.
