Beards.

Beards are strange creations, aren't they? Some men can pull them off superbly, others can't. Some men need them to look older than a teenager, others don't. Some men grow them because their loved ones likes it, others wouldn't even dare.
This is the same with celebrities as with non-celebrities.

For instance,
Gerard Butler can pull off a beard (just not that ridiculous pointed one from '300')
He doesn't need it to look older.He looks better though with stubble.

Just type his name in google and look for yourself...he can suit anything...apart from,

(Sorry Gerry...but a pointy beard?)

Brad Pitt cannot pull of a beard.
He doesn't need it to look older, he looks about 60 when he has one.
He looks better without any facial hair.

Brad cannot pull off this look.

But he can pull off short beards, stubble, clean shaven, even goatees (as long as they are short.)

Joaquin Phoenix cannot pull of a beard...at all.It's not a good look, at all.
He also looks better without any facial hair.

(Yes to Joaquin here.................................................just not here. Just stick to the clean shaven look.)

My celebrity winner?

Who can sport every type of beard or just not have one and still look good?

HUGH JACKMAN.

He looks good without one....

He looks good with stubble...

and he suits...well, everything else!

(Above in Australia...a more natural beard. But flattering to his face shape)

(And in Wolverine...a shaped beard, not commonly worn by many. But yet, he can pull it off.)

Hugh isn't the only guy who can do this:

Notable mentions:

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Reynolds

Jake Gyllenhaal

Gerard Butler (give him credit, no one can pull off a pointy beard)

Stick to clean mentions:

Matt Damon

Tobey Maguire

Daniel Radcliffe

George Clooney (slight stubble only is allowed...just no longer!)

To conclude?

I prefer stubble. Stubble is easier to pull off - and if kept well, can make a guy look appropriately aged. Not too young, but not too old. Loads of celebs can pull this off - they are clearly on the same wavelength as me. For the record, this is my opinion. Some people love big bushy beards...but they're just not my thing particularly.

I'm done now.
