It may or may not be for his newest role as an ex-con in Blood Father.

See what I mean??

This thing is literally perfectly ombréd, like Jared Leto's luscious locks.

It's straight gnarly.

This beard could have its own Pixar movie made after it.

Which makes you wonder, what if we lived in a world where our faces were just beards?

Something to think about.
