Why Does Joseph Gatt Have No Eyebrows?

English actor and model, Joseph Gatt, has Alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack its own hair follicles, thus preventing hair growth.

Gatt is best known for his roles in the films Thor (2011), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and Dumbo (2019).

Gatt was born in the Notting Hill area of London on 3 December 1974, the son of Maltese immigrant parents; his father is from Paola and his mother is from Lija.

While growing up, he spent summers with his family in Malta. As a teenager, he discovered that he was color blind, which prevented him from fulfilling his dream of joining the Royal Air Force and becoming a fighter pilot.

He has theorized that the stress of this news was also the possible trigger for his alopecia Universalis, with which he was diagnosed at the age of 12, and he had lost all of his hair by the age of 14.

He trained as an actor at the Sylvia Young Theatre School before joining the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree.
