    Ok, I kinda get it. His looks are his living, without those he has nothing. But seeing as that is the case, he might have found another way to support his friend rather than an empty, performative stunt.

      Isn’t shaving one’s head an “empty performative stunt”? It doesn’t provide any benefit to the cancer patient.

        I don’t think so if you’re fond of your hair. Even if it grows back, it’s a symbolic sacrifice in solidarity–a nice firm hug. A bald cap feels like a limp hug or a pat on the head.

          Not that anyone should feel obligated to shave their head, but one major thing is that his hair is literally his livelihood. He may be under contract not to change his appearance, and shaving one’s head (especially at that age) might do permanent damage.

          I doubt that Dave would want John to shave his head. But they’re good friends, and our opinion from the sidelines doesn’t really matter that much.

      rather than an empty, performative stunt.

      looks to me both parties are enjoying themselves in the photo, doesn’t look empty or performative at all. if Dave Coulier was cool with it, thats all that matters imo
