    10 Most Stylish Beards From Movies

    In the latest years, people tend to take as a lifestyle example actors from different movies they like. Maybe a woman wants to dress like her favourite actress, or a man wants to drive the same car as his favourite race driver from movies.

    In this article, we’re gonna show you 15 most stylish beards from movies. Beards are on trend this year, aren’t they? And actor’s stylists seem to have lots of talent exposed in the latest movies.

    It’s not a secret that beards have become the main accessory men wear nowadays. There are so many beard styles around, that they can simply choose the perfect one for them, adapted to the face shape, color and length.

    From goatee to van dyke or long beards, all of those styles are unique, yet special. But when you think about growing a beard, you don’t have to think just about the style: it’s the patience to let it grow and the ability to maintain it in a clear shape.

    Let’s see how talented were the actor’s groomers and what beard styles they adopted in your favourite movies. Enjoy!

    1. Tony Stark’s Goatee


     
    Tony Stark’s Goatee beard style he adopted for the Iron Man movie has become iconic. As a powerful undercover hero in the movie, Tony Stark reveals his identity, as Iron Man, the superhero who wants to protect the world.

    The goatee style provides a solid facial-hair option for both men who struggle to grow a full beard and those with rounder or less sculpted faces.It simply adds definition and balance to your face shape.

    2. Lou Ferrigno’s beard

    Lou Ferrigno, the character from Hercules, had probably one of the most powerful, masculine beard styles we’ve ever seen. Being a combination between long beard and goatee, it perfectly fit Lou’s face and gave him the aggressive allure that he needed to perfectly play his role.

    3.  The Godfather’s moustache


    Mr. Corleone’s moustache is probably one of the most famous ones in the world. For sure, you need some sophisticated barber tools to achieve that moustache. So symbolically, Vito Corleone’s moustache from “The Godfather” marked the transition from a small-time crook to a big-time player in the dangerous affairs field. That moustache is one of a billion brilliant details in one of the greatest films ever made. If you haven’t seen The Godfather yet and you feel like needing to see some adventure, it’s time to turn on the TV.

    4. Bradley Cooper’s beard


    This is by far my favorite movie character in the latest years. So emotional and complex, Jack, the character played by Bradley cooper, has impressed the world with how natural everything came in the movie. A messy man like him couldn’t wear a different beard style than a messy one. Probably that messy, long beard is the one that built the perfect portrait of a real artist who can steal a singer’s heart so easily, isn’t it?

    5. Lucifer’s short beard


     
    Tom Ellis, the “devil” who gave up to hell in order to move to Los Angeles where he managed to open his own business, wears in the series a short beard style, giving him a very serious, businessy look.

    6.  Zac Efron’s beard

    In “Down to Earth”, Zac Efron journeys to different countries with wellness expert Darin Olien in search of healthy ways to live. Despite the “baby boy look” everybody met Zac in the Disney’s representations, Zac Efron comes back in this series with a mature, masculine look. Is it because of its fresh trimmed beard? Maybe, but for sure it is also because Zac really grew up…

    7.    Vin Diesel’s beard

    Who could ever imagine Vin Diesel with some kind of hair? But it is true! In “The last witch hunter”, Vin Diesel grew a full beard that made him unrecognizable. For a story split between reality and fiction, it was obvious that something as unusual as seeing him with facial hair had to happen… 🙂

    8.    Jason Statham’s beard

    Jason is a classic: bald, with his stubble beard, he has a universal style, no matter the movie he’s playing in. In the 2006 movie, “Crank”, the hitman named Chev Chelios works for a crime syndicate led by "Carlito". Chelios (Jason Statham) is contracted by Carlito to kill mafia boss Don Kim and apparently he did, but after that, the adventure begins.

    9. Dwayne Johnson’s beard

    In “Skyscraper”, also a well known bald actor, Dwayne, appeared with a modern look: bald, but wearing a beard. It became a trend in the latest years, but for sure the FBI agent appeared as being just too busy to cut off his beard.

    10.    Leonardo Dicaprio's beard

    In “Once upon a time in Hollywood”, Leonardo Di Caprio had probably the most funny beard he ever wore. A messy stubble with a long moustache, probably Leonardo had fun himself seeing that cowboy look on his face. For sure, the stylist reinvented the 2019’s Hollywood style with that look.

    MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ American Sniper has surpassed two more major milestones, emerging as the top-grossing domestic release of 2014. The film has also surpassed half a billion dollars worldwide, and still climbing. 

     

    To date, the film has grossed an estimated $337.2 million at the domestic box office, and still counting, making it the highest-grossing film in director Clint Eastwood’s long and illustrious career. Among its many other records, American Sniper is also the number one war movie of all time and the top-grossing film in the career of Bradley Cooper, who earned his third consecutive Oscar nomination, for his portrayal of the film’s title character, Chris Kyle.

     

    In addition to its North American success, American Sniper is drawing large numbers of moviegoers overseas, where it is currently in release in 57 markets. The film, to date, has earned an estimated $163 million at the international box office, for an extraordinary worldwide total of $500.2 million and rising.

     

    Warner Bros. Pictures president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman said, “From its record-breaking Christmas opening, American Sniper has been a box office phenomenon. The film’s A+ CinemaScore in every category has translated into enthusiastic word-of-mouth that continues to generate both first-time and repeat business. We could not be happier for Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller and everyone on the incredible filmmaking team on this remarkable achievement.”

     

    Warner Bros. Pictures president of worldwide marketing and international distribution Sue Kroll added, “American Sniper has become a cultural touchstone that people want to share, discuss and remember. We are thrilled that the movie is still filling theatres, not only in the United States but around the globe, as filmgoers everywhere experience the power of the story of Chris and Taya Kyle.”

     

    “We are all so proud of American Sniper. Its box office success is not only a testament to the talents of Clint, Bradley and all those involved in the film, but also a measure of our appreciation for the sacrifices of all veterans and their families. Congratulations to our partners at Village Roadshow and Ratpac-Dune and everyone behind American Sniper on reaching another momentous benchmark,” said Warner Bros. Pictures president, creative development and worldwide production Greg Silverman.

     

    Warner Bros. Pictures president, international distribution Veronika Kwan Vandenberg noted, “Clint Eastwood has delivered a powerful story on the personal cost of conflict, and the response we’re seeing internationally reflects the universal reach of this compelling drama. Along with our partners at Village Roadshow, we couldn’t be more thrilled with these spectacular results.”

  • First trailer of Bradley Cooper starring ‘American Sniper’ Released

    First trailer of Bradley Cooper starring ‘American Sniper’ Released

    MUMBAI: Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper, the first trailer for the war drama American Sniper was released on 3 October.

     

    The actor stars as real-life Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in American Sniper, who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and was heavily decorated for his service, has taken credit for 160 confirmed kills. The drama is based on the 2013 memoir of Chris Kyle, who was regarded as ‘the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.’

     

    Kyle, whose book was a best-seller, was shot and killed at a Texas gun range in February 2013. He was 38 years old.

     

    The official synopsis of the movie says, “From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.  But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.  U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms.  His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname ‘Legend’.  However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents.  He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.  Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to ‘leave no man behind’.  But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.”

     

    Co-starring Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahan and Keir O’Donnell, American Sniper opens in limited release on Christmas Day and goes wide on 16 January 2015. The movie has been produced by Cooper.

     

    The trailer highlights the precarious balance Kyle faces as he balances his military duties with his home life.
