Richard Armitage's Fickle Facial Hair

First, let's start with a clean slate.

Here's Percy to demonstrate the smooth baby-face side of RA:

 

Now we'll add sideburns to the mix.

There's the Thornton Hot-Chops.

When combined with an undone cravat... squee fest!

Thornton Hot-Chops combined with piercing stare = more squee fest!

(Pretty much anything Thornton = need of bucket and mop to clean up drool.)

There's Gizzy's Burns-of-Evil.

Such sculptured  facial hair makes me think he's a member of a midevil boy band.

(Can you think of any good names for his group?)

Harry kind of has sideburns, but it's hard to tell underneath

his shaggy side-mane.  Either way, he's a cutie.  No worries, Harry.

If Lucas would move that blasted phone away from his ear,

we could see his Secret Agent Burns.

Oh, there they are:

We can't forget STUBBLE.

There's I've-been-in-prison-forever-so-give-me-a-break stubble:

Gisborne's Stubble-of-Trouble:

Here's a little Stammering Standring Stubble:

Richard-as-himself stubble with a little gray in the mix:

Even Stick-Figure Richard has stubble:

Now we enter the odd-ball section.

Monet... need I say more?

In Monet's defense, I really liked "The Impressionists"

and even thought young Monet was rather cute. 
The mustache-and-triangle-goatee combo wasn't too bad.

I'll try to leave Monet and his squirrel beard alone...

except to say that without it, Richard does look like a handsome,

distinguished old guy.  (Go ahead and put your thumb on the screen in front

of the goat-like goatee and you'll see what I'm talking about.)  He's going to age well.

There's the Moustache of Malice~

Dun dun dunnnnnn!!! *suspensful music plays*

I'll leave the Oasis-wearing goatee-donning

Paul Andrews out of it since he was featured earlier this week

and that was enough, thank you. :)

This goatee on young Richard is kind of cute:

Then there's the Scary Macbeth Beard:

Maybe the beard isn't to blame.

Maybe it's the creepy stare... or the loopy bang on his forehead...

or the unbuttoned-in-a-non-hot-way robe thing he's wearing (oops, cropped that out)

but I don't like it!

Then I saw this view of the Macbeth Beard

and thought it was handsome in its own hairy little way.

Maybe if Gisborne would've had a creepy beard,

we would've been more inclined to dislike him rather than drool over support him.

Excellent.  I hate him a bit already.  (Kidding, Giz.)
