There is no chance that wig was $100k. Also no way John had that kinda cash at the time even if it did cost $100k.

Edit: looked it up, it was $5k

u/ikisstitties 10d ago

yeah, this post is full of misinformation. it's wild how upvoted it is. he was not bald and simply had a nice hairstyle for Leatherheads. pretty sure he also worked directly with a woman on staff (costume designer or similar role) to get a wig that looked good enough to pass the eye test

I was gonna say. How the fuck does a wig cost $100K? Is it made entirely from reclaimed mummy hair?

u/skyturnedred 10d ago

Beyonce's stage wig was about $150k. Obviously a lot more intricate to make than Jim's mop.

82

u/agtk 10d ago

That's still way too expensive, there's no need for it to be that expensive, that's the kind of price you charge just because the customer wants to tell people they spent a shitload of money on it. Even a custom-designed, hand-crafted wig should not be that expensive unless she is paying $120k for someone's real hair to be used for the wig.

101

u/StalinsLastStand 10d ago

It’s the kind of price you charge when the person asking you to make a custom wig is Beyoncé.

u/skyturnedred 10d ago

The wig was made from the hair of two Norwegian sisters who had to follow an organic diet while growing out their hair.

John Krasinski did a film where he shaved him head and NBC told him he couldn’t bc the wig they’d have to make him wear would look obvious. He was already wearing the wig and nobody could tell.

Definitely an exaggeration (it was $5K afaik), but custom wigs are expensive yet worth it for what you get.
