Some people just can't stand beards. They are rugged, they can look messy at times and they can make guys appear to be much older than they really are. One thing that cannot be debated, however, is that beards make a huge difference. It's amazing what a little bit of hair can do. You can look like an entirely different person. Don't believe me? Take a look at some of these famous faces with and without their beards.
These 12 Men Prove That Beards Really Make A Huge Difference.
#1 Ben may get all the attention but Casey knows how to rock a beard too.
Casey Affleck totally rocked this beard during the Oscar season this year. The beard just adds a sense of ruggedness to him.
#2 David Beckham used to be fresh-faced.
Now he has grown into a man's man with the beard to prove it. The ladies must be so jealous of Victoria.
#3 Viggo Mortensen should never ever shave!
Aragorn should never be seen without a beard. It's just creepy. Kinda like he's a giant baby man with a head full of hair. When he has a beard he looks like the ultimate badass.
#4 Pierce Brosnan goes from old guy to distinguished gentleman with his beard.
There is just something about him with a beard that screams classy. What do you think?
#5 Bradley Cooper goes from accountant to tough guy with his beard.
When he's clean-shaven he just looks like an eager overachiever trying to get a promotion at work.
#6 No Mel... just no.
Idk what Mel Gibson called himself doing with this Van Dyke but he needs to stop it immediately. We already know he's batshit crazy, now he looks the part.
#7 Tom Hardy is eye candy for the ladies with or without the beard.
When he rocks a beard he takes rugged to a whole new level. It's no wonder that so many women are obsessed with him.
#8 Wolverine actor, Hugh Jackman's beard actually makes him look kinder.
Look at the image on the left and what do you see? A stern man with no sense of humor. On the right, his face goes from hard and chiseled to soft and kind but still manly.
#9 Women think Jake Gyllenhaal is hot regardless.
You have to admit, when he's wearing a beard his face doesn't look quite as mopey. Ladies love him either way so it doesn't matter how much hair he has on his face.
#10 Robert Pattinson she his shiny Twilight roots.
Unfortunately for him having a beard doesn't help him at all. It just accentuates the feminine features of his face even more.
#11 Kitt Harrington knows nothing.
I'm almost certain the Jon Snow actor does know at least one thing. He should never shave, or cut his hair for that matter.
#12 Harry Potter grew up and became a man.
Those blue eyes are brought out even more by the manly beard that the Brittish actor has grown. If his intentions were to shed his wizardly past, he has accomplished that and more as he has grown into a respected and distinguished actor over the years.
