Louis Theroux supported by fans as he opens up on medical condition that 'may make him go bald'

Louis Theroux has been showered with support by fans after opening up on a medical condition that may leave him bald. Taking to Instagram, the popular documentary maker and podcast host revealed he has alopecia, a media condition that has caused his hair to fall out.

Earlier this year, Theroux shared that he has a specific type of alopecia, which causes his beard hair to no longer grow. Although it started in patches, the condition appears to have progressed to cover his entire beard barring two specific areas, as he told fans in a new Instagram post.

The broadcaster explained: "Nature has played a cruel trick on me. Thanks to my alopecia barbae ("of the beard") I can now only grow a weird little Hitler moustache."
