17 Photos of Celebrities With Facial Hair That Will Make You Cringe

I like facial hair — a lot. The right amount of stubble or a well-crafted beard can elevate someone's look and make them look infinitely cooler. Of course, that's only if you do it right, which, unfortunately for these celebrities, they did not. Luckily, these awful facial hairdos were just one look on a unending search for the perfect beard/mustache comb. Check out the 17 celebrities who made very bad facial hair choices — thank God they didn't last.

Remember the time that Pitt starred as a young Kris Kringle in that Santa Claus biopic? Because that was the only reason this look was acceptable.

It’s neat, it’s trim, it’s well maintained… and it kind of makes him look like President Snow from the Hunger Games.

Ashton Kutcher

Did Kutcher borrow a page from Brad Pitt’s Philosophy of Hair, or did he come up with this look all on his own?

Johnny Depp

We all love Captain Jack Sparrow’s pirate-y facial hair, but Depp’s own version is a little… patchy.

I know that this is supposed to be a “rock star” thing, but there’s just so much going on on the Ink Master host’s face.

JC Chasez

This was the look JC was going for back in the day? All white everything and a goatee? And I thought he was the cute one.

Yes, Travolta’s soul patch is directly under his chin.

This facial hair is as not-okay as him losing the Best Actor Oscar for The Wrestler.
