Yeah, that's not the explanation.

[(Anonymous)]

It's wordplay, because of the fore/four homonyms. It's so big, it's a FIVEhead. Like I will love you so long, it will be 5ever, not 4ever.

And I am genuinely surprised your introduction came from Tom Felton and not Jared Padalecki. Because I feel like that's been around since early seasons of Supernatural.

I thought it came from Dawson.

Agreed about the explanation - it's more like a retroactive explanation maybe.

Re: Yeah, that's not the explanation.

I definitely heard it first with Dawson. I think maybe on Television without Pity? And yeah, it's just a pun. Who the hell measures foreheads by how many fingers fit on them?

Re: Yeah, that's not the explanation.

I thought it came from Tyra Banks on ANTM!

I think Christina Ricci is the first person I ever heard it applied to.

I'm not sure where the word actually originated (Urban Dictionary has a date of 2002 on their earliest entry). It's just that I've seen it persistently applied to Padalecki, on this site and many different other places, to the point it felt like that was his defining characteristic to a lot of people, so I was surprised that the secret poster saw it with Tom Felton first.

I've also seen it applied to James Van Der Beek (along with general big head and long face remarks) and Tyra Banks, but Dawson Leery's cry-face and Tyra Banks' smizing and, uh, intensity seemed to be much more, well, prominent.

Not everyone pays attention to the same fandoms, though. Just because you associate it with JP doesn't mean it should be surprising if someone else doesn't. And since most of the comments in reply are about earliest use, it seems odd to conflate chronology with your perception of "defining" characteristics (which, IMO, for JP is much more his height or his ridiculously ugly haircuts).

And I wouldn't trust urban dictionary as a definitive resource either.

Re: Yeah, that's not the explanation.

Yeah... I don't hear too many people refer to JP as that guy with the big forehead. That guy with the giant Neanderthal brow ridges, maybe, but big guy, bad haircut works too.
