Popular Kumawood actor Akwasi Asamoah, known in showbiz circles as Big Akwes, has surprised many Ghanaians with a new look after visiting a barbershop and fixing a toupee to cover his bald patch and receding hairline.

In a video shared on TikTok, Big Akwes appeared completely different from his usual look. The toupee gave him a fresh and full hairline, making him look much younger.

The transformation quickly went viral, attracting comments from thousands of social media users. Many people who saw the video were surprised and even joked that the clip might have been generated by AI.

Big Akwes has often complained about his looks in the past. In a TikTok video from 2023, the actor expressed how unhappy he was with his appearance.

He mentioned that he did not find himself attractive and seemed worried about his baldness. Over the years, his bald patch had become part of his image, especially in Kumawood films.

Aside from the hair transformation, Big Akwes has recently been in the news for other reasons. He received backlash for making harsh comments about Ghanaian singer Cina Soul.

At a naming ceremony in Accra, he was asked if he wanted to apologise for his remarks. Instead of addressing the issue with seriousness, he laughed and brushed off the concerns, igniting even more outrage.
