    You Won't Be Prepared For How Hot Stephen Colbert Looks With His "Colbeard"

    Brace yourself.

    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."

    Should he shave it for the new gig? I think the answer is pretty clear.
