Teller Cuts 10 Inches Off Penn’s Signature Ponytail To Benefit Locks Of Love (With Video)
On Wednesday, Aug. 25 Penn Jillette, the outspoken half of the comedy-magic duo Penn & Teller, sheared 10 inches of his signature ponytail with the help of his devious cohort Teller to benefit Locks of Love at the Rio Spa at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
It has been noted that Penn has been sporting the look for almost 25 years, and while he has not had it insured like other stars and their famed attributes, the locks were considered priceless.
Penn on his participation:
“One of our co-workers at the Rio has a little granddaughter who is going through chemo (and expected to be fine). All the long-haired employees of the Rio were asked to donate some hair in her name. I don’t think a two year old would look good in my long curly hair, but I hope someone can use it. There’s no panic, I can give 10″ and still have enough left for a ponytail to hide my microphone cables. We all wish her the best.”
