Hollywood heartthrob Antonio Banderas "hates that he is losing his hair," with insiders claiming it's an insecurity the Spanish actor has worked to overcome.

RadarOnline.com exclusively learned of the Enforcer star's concerns over his mane following years in the limelight. Banderas became a household name in the early '90s while acting alongside Tom Hanks in the movie Philadelphia.

He later snagged a role in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, starring A-listers Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, proving his prowess as an acclaimed film star in the years to follow.

Banderas still sends pulses racing at 62, but "he feels his thinning locks age him by decades — and he's also sensitive to the social stigma associated with baldness. So, he feels it's necessary to conceal it," an insider said.

Former salon owner Dawna Jarvis, who has not personally pampered the Desperado gunman, speculated that he may have had transplant surgery or turned to a wig called a "topper." Dr. Stuart Fischer claimed there was "no question" in his mind that Banderas opted for "hair plugs" after seeing previous photos compared to more recent ones.

Fischer has not treated the star either, but insiders agreed that Banderas appeared to have done something to help his hairline look fuller.

Banderas wants to look his best for investment banker galpal Nicole Kempel, sources claimed, alleging that he will spend "whatever it takes to cover what has become his worst source of insecurity."

RadarOnline.com has reached out to a rep for Banderas for comment.
