When you think "Stephen Colbert," this is probably the image you get: charming, a little dorky, wiry glasses, total dad.
Well be prepared to experience some confusing feelings about Stephen Colbert.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Seriously, prepare yourself.
I don't want anyone fainting on me.
Here we go.
BOOM: Meet the Colbeard.
*Fans self*
Oh gosh, I wasn't prepared to have this many feelings today.
Colbert, who is preparing to take David Letterman's seat at the Late Show, revealed to the Daily Beast he's actually had a beard for years.
"This is me. It turns out the real Stephen Colbert had a beard the whole time; I was just so deeply in character for 10 years you didn't notice. That's how good of an actor I am."
