Weird Side of Fame: Unusual Celebrity Facts You Never Knew Existed
Elvis’ Blonde Roots
Elvis Presley, the iconic King of Rock and Roll, had a little-known secret about his legendary look: he was a natural blonde. Marchese revealed that Elvis started dyeing his hair black in his teens, believing it accentuated his facial features better on film. His Army days in the late 1950s saw his hair reverting to its blonde origins, as hair dyeing wasn’t permitted.
Young Elvis, before his stardom, resourcefully used shoe polish for dyeing, an affordable option in an era when beauty products were luxuries. This detail adds an intriguing layer to Elvis’s image, revealing how his famous black hair was a carefully crafted part of his iconic persona.
