Hollywood Actor Beards – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Hi stud. Guy here. Now I know I haven’t written much about fashion yet, so today I’m writing about the top (and worst) Hollywood actor beards. Because of the vast variety we have in Hollywood, I have rated our successful bros (or rather, their beards) from the very best to downright creepy.

Well, we all know that sporting a beard is not everybody’s cup of tea. No matter whether you’ve run a starship enterprise, or played God himself. Also: I’ve sorted them, as one should, into the good, the bad and the ugly. Sorry, Tom Cruise, I like you – but this isn’t where you belong. Perhaps next time – in a hairstyles article. Or sunglasses.

The Best and Worst Hollywood Actor Beards

The Good

George Clooney looks dashing with his beard. Like he always does. The only bad thing he ever did was star in the Batman movie. And his suit even had nipples on it. And no, we’re not going to let you forget that.

Ryan Gosling is one of those rare men who has a long, lean face and yet rocks a beard. That too effortlessly. Like his allover style. Cheers to you, bro.

Ben Affleck here has somehow made a good balance between a rugged looking and a tux-friendly beard.

Johnny Depp’s goatee is not Pirates of the Caribbean-esquely long, but he has found his sweet spot here and stuck to it.

Jack Black may have started the School of Rock, but you still need some more grooming lessons to make it to The Good league.

My dear Chris Pine, Ok… you are handsome, I will give you that. And you know how to run a Starship Enterprise, but that doesn’t mean that you also know how to sport a casual beard.

Well, you, Mr. Ryan Reynolds, made it to The Bad zone only because of Blake Lively’s recommendation. And barely managed to escape The League of Ugly bearded gentlemen!

Mr. Chris Pratt, I liked you being a badass in Jurassic World. But taming dinosaurs is one thing – and sporting a beard is another.
