Beards In Entertainment: Part 1
The hair growing off of a man’s (or the unfortunate woman’s) chin is one of the great gifts of God. For years people have been growing beards. As stated in the great Wikipedia:
In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, or high social status; and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition, such as in the case of a tramp, hobo or vagrant. In many cultures beards are associated with nature and outdoorsmen.
Beards in many colors shapes and sizes all around the world. For some it becomes a winter thing, for others it’s a three day thing, and for some it is based on laziness. For whatever reason a beard is spawned they all have their fine characteristics.
As a beard lover I thought I would begin an on-going post of Beards In Entertainment. Here are this months beards.
No.1 Devendra Banhart - This guy is always growing different beards but tends to keep it in the “I could be an actor in the modern film 300.” Keeping the sides trimmed up to give the appearance of more length.
No.2 Ryan Adams - This was picture is from Ryan Adams short lived “I’m into the Grateful Dead” phase. He sported this beard while constructing the album Cold Roses (which came out wonderfully). He grows a fine beard that is very full and signifies he grows a thick scruff. Well done sir.
No.3 Joaquin Phoenix - Recently decided to grow out his facial hair and join the rap game. Kind of an odd match-up there but I’m down for that. He is currently sporting what best resembles Grizzly Adams if he were still alive. I’m actually surprised people still recognize him.
There you have three fine beards to chew on for the month of April. Get inspired, grow out all the facial hair you possibly can, take a few pictures, tag them on Facebook and share the links.
