An X user expressed confusion about Joey’s hair, asking, “I don’t understand Joey Lawrence’s hair. Is he bald? Does he have a receding hairline, does he use a toupee, or does he have a full head of hair he cuts short? When he was younger, it was long and thick… confused.”

As for what he’s up to nowadays, the 36-year-old filmmaker also appeared in “Frankie Meets Jack” alongside his older brother, Joey.
