Is it me or has Sir Ben's skin gone paler over the years? In the older pictures he has an Indian skin-tone, whereas now it doesn't seem visible at all... Is it because he no longer has hair do you think? I mean, I don't think he's done it the Michael Jackson way, but, well, he seems whiter than before.

I didn't really notice until you said so. But I think you're right. Maybe it was more visible before because he had dark hair too, even before he shaved it completely.

Quite right, very hard to tell. Perhaps if he were to wear a dark wig his Indian skin-tone might become visible again.

Most probably.

I agree, but maybe he wasn't very dark to begin with.
