Let's face it, men with beards just look a hell of a lot better. In fact, it's been scientifically proven by the Official Journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society that guys with beards are more attractive to women. Tsk, why bother with the science, if we already knew the truth about our attraction to a full beard, right ladies? See for yourselves below as Bored Panda has put together a list of hot guys with beards.
Plus, if any of you gentlemen are thinking about implementing your beard styles, there's no better time than Movember and No-Shave November - two great causes that ask to help raise money and awareness by not shaving in November. Movember encourages to grow a mustache through the month and help raise funds for men's health. As for No-Shave November, it's devoted to growing cancer awareness and raising funds by not shaving throughout the month and donating the money you would have spent on shaving and grooming to cancer prevention.
But enough with talking - scroll to our list of finest specimens of celebrities with beards below!

Between many of these pictures, quite some time has passed. Moreover, not all are comparable with regard to style, shooting quality, and atmosphere. And then: beards underly fashion standards like many other things. Many like them NOW because they are fashionable NOW. Do you also like hairy breasts like they were a sign of manlieness in the 80s? Probably now...but probably we would say yes in 5, 10, or 15 years. In additional, the pictures would be more creditable if they would not show celebrities, for who public opinion is biased already. Thus, the photos prove nothing, they are just an interesting collection of "with - without" photos.
Sean Haley 9 years ago
I have to agree. The photos aren't exactly that fair but still in many cases I found the first photo, esp with stubble (and not beards) way more attractive.

Am I the only one who is not attracted to beards? I mean, they're cool for someone and it's easier to notice someone with beard than someone without it, but I personally don't have fetish for that. No offense, boys with beards (:
Amelie Lysell 9 years ago
You are not alone. I prefer my men clean or with stubble but not full beard

I feel like men's beards are the equivalent of women's makeup, they hide a lot of your flaws and features. You could have bad acne scaring, and hide it with a beard just as easily and a woman could hide it with make up.
Arjan 9 years ago
It's more like an option to change the overall shape of your face, long beard for a wide/round face, short wide beard for a long face. There is plenty of exposed skin left to see if it's good or bad. For me it's just about not being bald on the top and bottom and on top I'm genetically screwed :)

I love beards but these men need to learn how to shave their neck and to make a clean cut for their beard so it doesn't look like they are just too lazy to take care of their facial hairs. A man with a clean neck and a beard with every hair the same length is so beautiful!
Susan Hirsch 8 years ago
I think this only proves that beautiful men are still beautiful, beard or no beard!
Connie Stephens 8 years ago
Since when did Tom Sellecks mustache qualify as a beard. It's a grand mustache, indeed, but it's not a beard. And some of these only qualified as facial hair...not beards.
Tasha DiCoio 9 years ago
Most of these guys are seriously hot anyhow. Beards are a trend. They come in and out of fashion. Right now they're in.
Jeanne Deaux 9 years ago
I hope they'll never be out of trend of I'll finish my life alone as I won't allow a man without a beard to share my life.

Hmm, it varies, some guys the beard does not work at all on. Some before pics are really old or awkward poses and maybe they just take care of themselves better now that they're more famous.
Ivy Lyster 9 years ago
I disagree! Saying men look better with beards is like saying women look better with makeup. Not the best article to date.
Michael D. 9 years ago
No, because beards are a natural thing. We do not apply them, it's our own body we are not artificially trying to change our look with a beard

Quite a few of these men actually look better without beards in my opinion.
Hello Al 8 years ago
Here it is: the men in these pics have characteristically babyfaces or very youthful faces (not just an age thing, even older guys can look like cherubs till their good and ancient), so facial hair makes them look more mature, which is what increases attractiveness. Not much to do with the style, really

An overwhelming majority look better, i agree, but it wasn't unanimous. Ryan Reynolds, Kutcher, Efron, and Fassbender are better off without.

I have to agree with most here, I like a clean shaven face. Mustache is okay as long as it is neat. I cannot stand the fashion of a partially grown face hair. Makes the person look unkempt.

I can't stand facial hair. I will always think it's gross. I will concede though that a few men look better with it than without, but I am very glad mine shaves!

then you're just a closet Lesbian... because its been proven that females find men with facial to be the most attractive and clean shaven to be least attractive.. Facial hair is a sign of high testosterone levels and sexual maturity... you're a Lesbian.
