You Want to Stop Shaving After Seeing Theses Gorgeous Celebrities With Huge Beards!
There are few things that can elevate a man’s look better than a well-groomed beard. Maybe it’s a primitive instinct but sometimes, you can’t help but see a guy with great facial hair and automatically think of him as a true manly man.
Oftentimes, the beard is not only a display of toughness but also a signature look, as there are guys who consider it part of their identity. Recently, more and more celebrities are getting into the no-shave trend and we’re excited to take a closer look at them all.
Tom Cruise, 56, Mission Impossible
Tom Cruise seems to be a fan of the clean-shaven look. Despite having a few roles with the bearded look, like in The Last Samurai in 2003, he always goes back to his boyish smooth face characteristic of Ethan Hunt, his Mission Impossible role.
We honestly think he looks great either way. Cruise, who prefers the sans beard mode, has been having a bit of a slump at the box office but he hopes to fix it with his upcoming full movie, Top Gun: Maverick. The film is a sequel to Cruise’s 1986 film.
Ben Affleck, 46, Good Will Hunting
Ben Affleck (a.k.a Batman) normally sports a smooth hairless look whenever he is between filmings. But when he is being either a caped crusader or an action movie superstar like on his upcoming film Torrance, he wears a full-on beard. And we’re not mad at it.
Affleck recently finalized his divorce from actress Jennifer Garner, but this daddy is still a hands-on dad sharing the custody of their three beautiful children. He was seen dropping them off at school sometime in May 2019 and yes, he was in full beard mode.
Brad Pitt, 55, Fight Club
Ahh, Brad Pitt, he’s what we’d call a grooming expert. You see, Brad is constantly changing his looks; he’s had long locks, short buzz, blonde, dark, you name it. What’s interesting is what he normally does with his scruff.
Brad Pitt is able to diversify his looks by only growing either a full beard or a goatee, and pulling it off flawlessly (which is kinda hard to do). Props to him for breaking the mold of beards, and for the completion of his divorce in April 2019. Brad, who will star in the new Tarantino movie, is now legally single, ladies!
Chace Crawford, 33, Gossip Girl
Our teen crush, Chace Crawford or as many of you remember him, Nate Archibald from Gossip Girl, was always a baby-faced cutie on the drama series. But lately, he’s been opting for a more mature look, donning a fair amount of beard.

But growing one was not the only way Crawford had in store to leave Nate Archibald in the past. In 2019, he has two upcoming films that are like anything he has starred in. Charlie Says is a scary depiction of Charles Manson’s cult while The Boys is his first action comedy.
Simon Cowell, 59, American Idol
The Simon Cowell we all came to know has three constants we always associate him with after hearing his name. A bare face, a black t-shirt, and a cocky attitude. Even if it rubs some people the wrong way, it’s part of the persona of this multitasking mogul.

So naturally, when he strays from this pattern, people get surprised. Honestly, although the facial hair makes him look at a bit more mysterious and wise, we think it actually ages him a little bit. At least he trimmed it recently though, as he appeared with light stubble on the last episode of his show, America’s Got Talent.
Jamie Dornan, 39, Fifty Shades Of Grey
Irish dreamy guy Jamie Dornan is the epitome of a handsome man. Bearded or not, it doesn’t matter if he’s playing historical figure in Marie Antoinette or as a steamy businessman with a lot of money in the 50 Shades film series. The truth is that Jamie will be a gift for your eyes.

In this picture though, we like that edge the beard gives him. It kinda gives off that action movie star vibe he showed us in the film, Robin Hood. He has at least two new projects in the post-production stage. We say lose the razor, Jamie!
Christian Bale, 45, The Dark Knight
English hunk Christian Bale is known for being a serious method actor that put his body through insane transformations in the name of art. So even if he looks rather attractive, looking at the bearded version of him isn’t as drastic as other things he’s done.

His last crazy diet and weight loss happened when he went from his Vice role to dropping 40 pounds to film Ford v Ferrari. One thing is for certain, we love Christian in any shape or form, so we’ll definitely support him, beard or no beard.
Matthew McConaughey, 49, Dallas Buyers Club
Matthew McConaughey has been around since the ’90s and has managed to become greatly loved and appreciated for his immense talent. People admired him more after his acclaimed performance in the 2013 movie, Dallas Buyers Club, which earned him his first ever Academy Award for Best Actor.

However, a year later, he shocked everyone when he appeared with a full beard. Some people do great with facial hair, but that was not the case for him, apparently. Thankfully, he’s now beard-free in his 2019 movies Serenity and The Beach Bum.
Chris Hemsworth, 35, Thor
Chris Hemsworth might as well be one of the greatest examples of how to pull off a full beard. Even though he rose to prominence with the Australian series Home and Away, he only became really successful when he started playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films in 2011. Arguably, one could say, it was because of his beard!

Over the years, with beard or none, Chris has managed to build a net worth of an estimated $90 million. In 2019, not only did he captivate us with his performance in Avengers: Endgame, but he’s also set to star in three more movies including the recently released Men in Black: International.
Fabio Lanzoni, 60 – I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!
Fabio Lanzoni just turned 60, but him entering a new decade wasn’t the only anniversary he celebrated in 2019. Not only did he feature in Trisha Paytas’ music video for I Miss You In My Sheets but also, it was exactly 20 years ago when he rode the Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster in Busch Gardens, Williamsburg and got hit in the face by a goose!

Even though Fabio, over his career in the fashion industry, has made sure that we don’t ever see a hint of beard on him, he hasn’t always managed to avoid occasional spurs of bad luck apparently.
Chris Evans, 37, Captain America: The First Avenger
When you are Captain America, you’re bound to be loved by everybody no matter what. So when he appeared on the MCU Infinity War with a thick beard, it was just like the icing on top of the cake.

A lot of fangirls were pleased, and we couldn’t blame them one bit, as the Cap and his facial hair made more than a pleasant sight for the eyes. So understandably, we were a bit sad to see the beard go on Avengers: Endgame (though we saw how he’d look like as a grandpa). You will be missed, Chris’ beard.
George Clooney, 58, Ocean’s Eleven
George Clooney seems like he’s been aging backward and the mystery on how a grey-haired man can always look so incredibly youthful and handsome is beyond us. But one thing we know is that his glorious beard has played a part in the phenomenon.

Clooney, a father of twins and husband to lawyer Amal Clooney, always keeps it classy in the beard area. He keeps it cropped and sharp, making him look suave. Unfortunately, George had to shave it for his role on Hulu’s Catch 22. He kept the mustache though!
Henry Cavill, 36, Man of Steel
It seems that superheroes really do have “a thing” for beards as Henry Cavill, our current Superman, joined the beard parade and we’re glad he did. Cavill, who participated in 2018 in the new Mission Impossible: Fallout, found himself in a controversy regarding his beard and mustache.

In one of the scenes of the film, Henry’s beard seems to magically grow. This caused a frenzy on Twitter, and many shared their theories on the mishap. It was not a big deal actually, as we already thought his scruffy look was extraordinary anyway.
Hugh Jackman, 50, Wolverine
As for Hugh Jackman’s beard, this one holds a special place on the beards hall of fame, we are sure. The signature mutton chops were essential to Hugh’s most famous character – Logan from the Wolverine movies. But this classic style we see in the picture – that’s all Hugh and it’s handsome as hell.

Jackman, who’s actually a triple threat that can also sing and dance besides acting, is currently on his tour Hugh Jackman: The Man, The Music, The Show. He has had every beard length on the books, and the best part is that he can pull them all off.
Jake Gyllenhaal, 38, Nightcrawler
Some stars like Jake Gyllenhaal sport a beard, but not only for solely aesthetic purposes. Jake has mentioned he normally wears his under groomed look to transform into characters or sometimes (more like a movie prop), to make his otherwise innocent face a little bit more serious.

It’s understandable as appearances can really affect the kind of role actors are given. Jake was spotted in June 2019 on a press meeting sporting a cropped style of facial scruff, while he and co-star Tom Sturridge were promoting their new Broadway show called A Sea Wall/A Life.
James Franco, 41, 127 Hours
Even if James Franco has played all kinds of characters – from the bad (but gorgeous) guy on Spider-man 2 to Oz on Oz The Great And Powerful, he’s only donned a beard in a few of his films.

James, although very handsome, looks a bit unkempt when showing off some his stubble. So we were glad when he appeared recently on the show Ballad Of Buster Scruggs with only a subtle mustache that suited the period time. We are also fans of the mustache – well, that, and of seeing him in cowboy clothes.
James McAvoy, 40, X-Men: First Class
Scottish actor James McAvoy (of the X-Men films) has said that he usually prefers having a beard (and we can see why) while he is in between jobs. Then he’s cast for a role and they pay him to shave it off.

The star who will dabble into the terror genre with his upcoming movie It: Chapter Two, says what surprises people the most about his stubble is the fact that it is ginger. He says he finds it amusing that some have asked him if he uses hair dye to get that auburn tone. Even if his beard doesn’t match his mane, we think it suits him just fine.
Jared Leto, 47, Dallas Buyers Club
Actor/rock singer Jared Leto has captivated us with his acting and looks in more than one occasion; maybe it’s the blue eyes, or the long luscious hair, or his fantastic beard. The beard is a game changer, as even as a five o’ clock shadow, it screams “cool rock star” vibes wherever he goes.

Eccentric Jared, who’s currently on tour with his rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, has caused amusing reactions among the stars during the MET Gala in May 2019. He showed up with a replica of his head as part of his look. It’s hard to explain, but let’s just say the head had a crazy night being passed from celebrity to celebrity.
Jon Hamm,48, Mad Men
Jon Hamm was always sporting a clean cut jawline when portraying the advertisement executive Don Draper on Mad Men. But when he grew that bushy salt and pepper beard in the photo, ladies swooned left and right.

Jon, who’s currently promoting his new series Good Omens, is not only proof that beards are in right now, but that they are the perfect makeover to avoid what actors fear the most in Hollywood – being typecast. With this new addition to his chin, Jon looked nothing like his Don Draper character, and maybe that was what he was going for.
Kanye West, 41, Jesus Walks
Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West has always had a goatee since his debut. At this point, the beard is part of Kanye, as we can see in the picture he looks completely unrecognizable without it.

He definitely looks better with the beard, as the bare-faced look makes him seem a little bit too young and innocent, which the controversial husband of Kim Kardashian West is definitely not. The always controversial Kanye has an upcoming song with record producer Irv Gotti, as hinted by the latter on Social Media. We can’t wait!
Lionel Messi, 32, Football Captain of Barcelona
The Barcelona star player and team captain Lionel Messi has sported for a few years a beard that only adds to his good nature charm on the football field. It gives him a more experienced appearance, which suits the ball legend status he has achieved.

Messi recently admitted in an interview he was feeling a little frustrated about the performance of the team on the last Champions League. The team lost an embarrassing 4-0 to English club Liverpool. Let’s just hope his team gets back on the horse soon and start getting the gold again!
Prince Harry, 34, Prince of Wales
New proud father Harry has been favoring the full-on beard for a few years now. Since 2015, a ginger beard has been adorning the handsome Prince’s face, and most would agree he looks way more interesting with it, even if he’s considered a rebel in the palace’s eyes for having it.

The whole world was able to admire this royal beard once more when he recently presented his baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor alongside his wife, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle just days after he was born. The new addition to the family won’t be sporting any royal titles as he would be referred to as “Master Archie.”
Will Smith, 50, Men In Black
Will Smith is a hot and famous father, but despite being 50 years old, he really doesn’t look like it. This good-looking guy has been seen with almost every version of a beard you can imagine and naturally, he looks good in all of them. This picture is the perfect example.

Although, his beard caused quite the uproar on Social Media when his promotional pictures for his new movie Aladdin surfaced on the Internet. Some Twitter users claimed the beard of Genie (Will’s role in the live-action version) looked too weird. We say he can never go wrong with a beard, so don’t listen to the haters, Will.
Zayn Malik, 26, Pillowtalk
Singer Zayn Malik has really come a long way since his One Direction days. He has not only left his mark on the music industry but also become a fashion sensation, and his grooming and haircuts have played a big part in that.

With such sharp angles on his face, Zayn, as we see in the picture, uses his full beard to actually soften his features and he looks even more gorgeous by doing so. He’s also a fan of the soft stubble, which we can see him sporting in the music video of his new song A Whole New World for the soundtrack of the film, Aladdin.
Eminem, 46, The Real Slim Shady
We’re used to Eminem’s classic look of bleached mane and clean-shaven face. So when he appeared at Dr. Dre’s event with a chin scruff, the Internet had a severe case of split opinions.

Some believed he looked great as he posed for the camera clad in black and white attire, while others felt the stubble looked just a tad too weird on their favorite rapper. Maybe it was the color that threw some people off, but we actually think he looked okay. Eminem released his latest album Kamikaze in 2018.
Charlie Weber, 40, How To Get Away With Murder
We already knew Charlie Webber was a cutie since we first saw him on the ABC TV series, How To Get Away with Murder, but he actually had quite the transformation after just a simple pass of the razor for the third season of the show.

Interestingly enough, he proved he didn’t need the extra growth to look handsome and strong. Well, we must say that he looks just as good without it. He plays the character of Frank Delfino, the main protagonist’s protector, so we guess that the hard-edged look suits the character.
Tom Cullen, 33, Weekend
Tom Cullen was good-looking on Downton Abbey as a rich lord, but when he appeared on our screens as Landry Du Lauzon with a dark thick beard, he definitely swept us off our feet. Landry is the lead role of the historical TV series, Knightfall.

In this case, we have to bet our money on the beard, Tom. Although between the stubble, his British accent, and his charming personality, it’s hard to decide what’s the more alluring trait of the bunch. He is just one of those actors that have an undeniable appeal.
David Letterman, 72, Late Show with David Letterman
David Letterman is a legendary television host. He influenced so many of the hosts of this generation, including Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers. Why the man has been hosting since 1970!

David retired from TV, and with his retirement came his enormous, Santa-like beard. In interviews, he explained that the negative reactions he had received because of it, made him not want to shave it. David, who’s still rocking his Santa Claus beard, currently hosts a show on Netflix called My Next Guess Needs No Introduction. You do what you best, David!
Jim Carey, 57, The Mask
Jim Carrey is known for being funny. So as you would expect from someone with such a great sense of humor, he was more than delighted to find out his beard had its own Twitter account.

Carrey, whose last work was seen on HBO’s The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling, commented on an interview that he was fascinated by what people seemed to say about this new addition to his face. Jim ended up shaving a few months later, and as a result, looked suddenly looked half his age. Our opinion? Say Yes Man to the razor, Jim.
Pierce Brosnan, 66, GoldenEye
A classy thick beard is always appreciated, but sometimes, having it grow too long can actually have the unwanted effect of aging you quite a bit, even if you are the ageless Pierce Brosnan.

Thankfully, Brosnan’s beard was for his role on his current show on ABC’s The Son, where he plays an Irish-American Texas rancher that will do anything to protect his land and family. So we can expect our beloved James Bond to ditch the bushy look and pay a visit to the hairstylist in the future after his filmings.
Chris Hemsworth, 35, Thor
Fans from the MCU will tell you several reasons why Thor is their favorite character. Some will say it’s because of his strength, but some will admit it’s because he is portrayed by Aussie hottie Chris Hemsworth and his amazing signature beard (and fitness-personified bod!).

Yes, the magnificent beard is part of Thor, for all we know. He also started the trend that would spread among his co-stars and the audience, as Chris’ face fuzz has served as inspiration for a handful of men’s products and tutorials over the years. If you also want a beard like Thor’s, you can still catch Avengers: Endgame, and probably learn a thing or two about how it’s done.
