Yuck - a beard

So for my birthday we are seeing the Crucible.  With Saoirse Ronan and Ben Whishaw.
.
But look at this picture.  Ben's got a beard.  I hate a beard.  I love Ben, but I hate a beard.
.
So much for the cutie.

Ben- beardless as Forbisher in The Cloud Atlas

Even minimally beared  is okay - as in London Spy
