"I didn't have enough courage
to flirt," said the 33-year-old El-

"I felt old," admitted Scham.
"I wanted to look younger." He
made his wish come true three
years ago by purchasing a hair
piece that filled out what he was
lacking on top. It proved to be
a wise decision.
"My whole life has changed,"
he said. "I play football. I go wa-
ter skiing. I feel younger. I feel
very much younger. I feel like
I'm in my early 20s."
