I don't know about you but I'm seeing more and more bearded Hollywood boys these days. I have gathered seven that have been prominently sporting this grizzly look. Some of these celebs look hot while some simply look awful. Why don't we check them out and then decide if these men are hot or not?
1 Jon Hamm
I love Jon Hamm. He is dreamy and he has an incredible body. Of course, it does not hurt that his character, Don Draper, is magnetic, despite his womanizing ways. But this hairy version of Jon Hamm is a bit off-putting. Do you still find him cute? Sure, his eyes can still make you melt like butter in the middle of summer, but the lower part of the face just looks too itchy.
2 Shia LaBeouf
Shia is cute and is a pretty good actor. He has a cute girlfriend, too. But this grizzly look lowers his appeal for me. Perhaps I just don't like beards that look like they are as thick as the person's hair. Somehow, they make me feel hot. Literally.
Confession: Johnny Depp could be covered in hair from head to toe and I will still find him drool-worthy. Probably because I know that no matter the state of his facial hair, he will remain interesting, smart, cool, a rebel, and a warm family man. But then again, his beard is not so bad if you compare it to the growth of the other men listed here.
4 Gerard Butler
Hmm I think Gerard Butler's facial hair makes him more appealing. Because let me tell you something, normally, I do not find him handsome. This photo, however, is making me reconsider my stand. Could it be the beard? Or maybe it's just the overall look -- smile, aviators, and the casual outfit.
5 George Clooney
Some men fear the passage of time but it has been very kind to dear ol' George. He is now entering the revered stage where only a few Hollywood men have been lucky enough to enjoy. He is now slowly reaching Sean Connery status. With that said, I do not mind his beard. Not at all.
6 Ben Affleck
If Ben's beard were any thicker, he'd look bad. But this length looks fine. Still, I keep wondering if her daughters enjoy thefacial hair or if it makes for an itchy cuddling time.
7 Brad Pitt
I have to admit that Brad's latest facial acquisition was the inspiration behind this post. Brad has all the positive qualities of the other men I've listed here have. But my golly, the beard just makes me forget everything attractive about him. But then again, if Angelina doesn't mind, we shouldn't as well.
sophie Gerard Butler looks hot!! But dont like rest
September I really do not care for the facial hair. Only a few guys under say about 40 can pull off the look I feel. Guys over 40 often look younger and better with the beards. Did you know Clooney has age jowels? His beard hides them wonderfully. And Sean Connery has one of the worst turkey necks going on. But with that beard he looks 30 years younger and very dashing! I think Karl Urban looks really hot with a beard!! :P
Sheila oohhhh i had no idea that there was a term for that.. thanks meadows - oops September ;)
Sheila hmmm.. you make a very interesting point Meadows. Though at the risk of sounding naive.. what are 'age jowels'??
Chanti Johnny Depp looks amazing with or without the beard!
Sheila Agreed Chanti, There's just something about him that goes way beyond any one factor right!
Diana OK I have to say that Brad Pitt just looks nasty there...what is that thing! The only one that looks pretty good with facial hair is Johnny Depp! :)
Sheila Hey Tavia, yeah this post did turn out to be a lot of fun.. Thank you Brad Pitt! (oh and of course you Meream ;) )
Sheila I agree Diana, Brad Pitt does NOT look even 1/10th as good as he normally does!
Tavia This was the most funny post of the week for me :) It's good to have a funny subject to talk about :)
Tavia OK girls...let's just say that we will give them a pass with the kissing....but I'm thinking more dirty now :)))Should I say this? Oh yeah.....how about that part when they will not be kissing you only on you lips? I would hate to feel any beard :))))
Xannyyy Loooooool Tavia!! That can be very tickling I have to say!! :P
September OMSH!! TAVIA!! :P
Sheila hehheheheehe yeah Tavia, you're right about that! Now THAT is NOT a good feeling.. again with longer softer beards.. its not as bad as it is with stubbles!
Olga OMG, definitely not hot! Have you ever kissed a man with a beard - even the shortest one? So weird... Like kissing a fury animal, only my cat's fur is way softer. Oh, and don't get me started on all the food that gets stuck in the beard. SO not sexy.
Sheila hehehe yeah Olga, kissing most men with beards is a little weird.. but to be honest, though i don't like some of these men with their beards, i have found that on some men in my past, i've found it to be really attractive! and you know in my experience, the short stubble is a lot more annoying to rub up against than the longer beards!
Meream Johnny Depp FTW! Haha
Xannyyy Hi Meream, You shuld really reconsider about Butler! I definitly fin him gourgeous, sexy and very very handsome! Apart from loving all his movies he's a great looking man, Face and Figure! I give him my five points! (:
Xannyyy Sheila, Looool! You're so funny love! Welll if that's the case and he would give me a chance.. well who knows what will happen or else what will I give him! :P
Sheila HEy Xannyyy, I completely agree..he is uber HOT! i'd give him a lot of myself apart from the five points :P
vanisha johnny depps is fine by the way lol
Sheila hehehe Vanisha, Depp is reaall FINE :P
suburbangrandma I am not a big fan of beards. Men don't groom themselves enough to really keep that beard looking neat. It seems that there is always some foreign object stuck in their beard...worst of all a piece of food..and how to you tell them it's there. I think guys grow beards because they get to lazy to shave daily.
Sheila :) SG, I think if I had facial hair, I'd be pretty lazy to shave it off everyday too! And though I get that.. it doesn't discount my dislike for facial hair. :)
Fatima Johnny Depp YES! George Clooney Yes Gerard Butler OH yes yes!! I am not feeling the other beards too much.
Meream Hahaha this is a hilarious comment. I love all the YES-ing. :D
Sheila hehehe Fatima, All I can say to your comment is.. Ditto!!
Alice hmm... I don't know... not a fan of facial hair. Johnny Depp pulled it off pretty well though.
Theo as ryan g. showed us in the notebook - beards are hot if they are evidence of your deep love and pining...your sorrow about lost love. They are hot too if you're a dashing fella. They just don't feel that hot and can cause burns! :)
Tavia Ok Sheila, but just Gerard, because I was thinking the same thing about him. I've seen him in almost all movies wearing a beard and I like his style because it only looks like he didn't shave for 2-3 days :).
Sheila oohh yes Theo, Gosling in The Notebook was very romantic-hot! Though in general i'm not one for the moping sad guys.
Tavia They all look great without a beard....or maybe is me and my crazy feeling...but I hate to be kissed by a guy with beard, my skin it gets irritated very fast. Maybe my skin is too sensitive, but I can't imagine a passionate kiss that will last a couple of minutes and after my image on the mirror. My skin will be all red :)
Sheila I agree Tavia, I prefer most of them without the beard too.. Though Gerard Butler with his stubble is just SOOO HOT.. and I'd let him give me an itchy kiss ANY day :P
