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!

Well, he also wears glasses, have other type of clothing, bad makeup and, flash that makes eyebrows hard to see, bad lightning and unstyled hair. How can we compare?
Let's see the beard pic clearly has less shine, no glasses. Obviously he's more done up in the beard pic then the without beard pic. No makeup in the without hence the blotchy complexion. To argue the beard pic looks better when comparing a made up pic to one without make up is apples to oranges. Of course the make up making the more even complexion would look better.
He also got a hair cut, put in contacts and is wearing makeup.....
Beard is definitely better...but he is older in that beard pic, too.
He looks better without the nerdy glasses, the sweat, the bad hairdo, the better lighting, the nicer clothes, the less awkward smile and when he actually takes time to pose for a photo. Oh, and the beard is kinda ok, i suppose.
There are so many differences in the first photo, and the second one. His hair is redder, his hair is longer and styled differently(which in my opinion makes him look like he is going bald), he has different teeth, he is younger, and he is wearing glasses.
Are they the same person even?They have different hair color, one has glasses one doesn't, weird.

His expression is always what I like to call 'hopefully pessimistic.' I imagine he's thinking. "I like lasagna, but I ordered the linguini."
Al Gore
Sure cuts down on the feminine profile. Nice and manly. Don't you think the left almost looking like Sigourney Weaver?

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.
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 (:
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.
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!
I think this only proves that beautiful men are still beautiful, beard or no beard!
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.
Most of these guys are seriously hot anyhow. Beards are a trend. They come in and out of fashion. Right now they're in.
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.
I disagree! Saying men look better with beards is like saying women look better with makeup. Not the best article to date.
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

Hm. Not a fan of pussybeards. Yes, in some cases they look good, but somehow they all look a bit like my Dad. Not exactly sexually stimulating.
Uh... thank God you're not sexually attracted to your dad?

It is a personal thing, and my opinion is MOST men look better WITHOUT facial hair.
Quite a few of these men actually look better without beards in my opinion.
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
Except for president Lincoln. He needed the volume, I’m afraid.

I totally agree will this. My man has a big red lumberjack beard. I do need to except the following: 24 - Chris pine actually looks better without. And 25 - Feo DiCaprio can't be helped. lol
An overwhelming majority look better, i agree, but it wasn't unanimous. Ryan Reynolds, Kutcher, Efron, and Fassbender are better off without.

I mean, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp are ridiculously handsome men. George Clooney. They look great either way.
Idk, almost all of them looks good either way. #20 however looks so much sweeter and less of a villain. Cans see why they chose Jude Law for Dumbledore. He's quite close for the younger version of him.
I love a well groomed beard. I disagree that all men look better with a beard. This article proves me right.
actually half these guys look good with beards and half better without them :)
in my opinion,i think each thing created in man's body should be stayed. you look, most of men look handsome with it.
Ok but not a single one of these people looks better with a beard idk what you're on about
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.
good lookin is good lookin ! No matter if they have beards or not ! ;)
To me, every single one of them looks better without facial hair. Utterly a question of taste 🙂
Kristofer Hivju and Brad Pitt Look good either way in my opinion and as for Daniel Radcliffe... he looks weird either way.
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.

From someone who can't grow a proper beard. i'm telling you it's itchy ಠ_ಥ
Interesting lots from the pics to the comments. I can only conclude that we are all different, and there's eye candy for us all ;-)
Several of these look better without. For example Ewan Mcgregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and Chris Evans
No No NO, beards are horrible and ugly men look totally ungroomed when they have a beard.
But every man has a beard but they just shave it off. So do you think that man is attractive today shaved but not with facial hairs couple days after? XD
