Celebrity Beard Makeovers: Photos

Celebrity Beard Makeovers: Photos — People have all sorts of opinions when it comes to facial hair. Many men are keen on a mustache, while other people prefer a silky, smooth shave. Meanwhile, other guys are fine letting their beards get bushy and wild.

Over the years, our favorite Hollywood hunks have experimented with it all. And even if you’re not a fan of facial hair, you’ve got to admit that these boys have really owned their beard makeovers.

Take Chris Pine. He’s rocked everything from a clean-shaven face to crazy whiskers, but the Star Trek lead struck a balance during the 2022 Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala on Oct. 8. He had his salt and pepper beard cropped close and tidy, which was the perfect way to complement to his suave velvet suit.

Ready to see more stars rocking their best beards? Check out this gallery for Hollywood’s best beard transformations of all time.
