And co-star John Thomson added: “He was happy with it… It had to be addressed.”
Opening up about his procedure in 2013, James said: “Several years ago, I began losing my hair and like a lot of men it was a major concern to me, in fact it was practically an obsession.
“But, also I’m an actor so I’m in the public eye a lot and I really felt that my hair loss could affect my career prospects.

James also wore a toupee when he hosted the Ballon d’Or ceremony last year.
