True are the faces and true are the beards, of those who speak the Truth and live the Truth. ਮੁਖ ਸਚੇ ਸਚੁ ਦਾੜੀਆ ਸਚੁ ਬੋਲਹਿ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਹਿ ॥ Mukẖ sacẖe sacẖ ḏāṛī▫ā sacẖ bolėh sacẖ kamāhi. मुख सचे सचु दाड़ीआ सचु बोलहि सचु कमाहि ॥
No male face can truly be considered stylish this season without a smattering of hair around the jawline. But which celebrity beard is right for you?

Right this second you are a nobody in LA if you don't have a beard.
At the post-Oscars bash the Governor's Ball, the beard's dominance was
plain for all to see. There was Jeff Bridges
flaunting his winning silver goatee, while the Hurt Locker table was
home to all manner of beards. Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James, has
one, as does Mo'Nique's husband, Sidney Hicks. James Cameron must be
kicking himself – if he'd only grown some stubble at least, the academy
might have been kinder to him. This particular Hollywood beard is meant
to convey status and career security. It isn't very cool – it's a bit
wrong even but it doesn't matter because it says that one's work counts
more than a clean shave. The real-life parallel is thus: a company
director can sport one, but the humble postroom boy cannot.
Jon Hamm's off-season beard. Photograph: Matt Baron/BEI/Rex Features
Such is the cult status of Jon Hamm's beard that New York magazine
honoured it with its very own obituary when he shaved it off in late
January. Hamm's beard is rumoured to appear the split second he stops
being Don Draper – he reportedly has to shave twice a day on the Mad Men
set. Yes, he's that manly. Not to be outdone, the rest of the cast
followed suit and grew beards between filming different seasons. The
off-season beard isn't restricted to Equity members – it's there on the
cheeks of the city worker who has been made redundant, and the
fortysomething who is taking a sabbatical. Even a two-week summer
holiday is enough to bring on an off-season beard.

AKA the scandal beard. You're an actor or a sportsman, you've had an
affair, you go into hiding, you grow a beard. It's the male facial
equivalent of the pashmina – it literally wraps your chin in a
protective manner. Jude Law
is the past master of this, and recently Ashley Cole's mum was rumoured
to have become increasingly worried about her son's emotional state
because of the beard he grew in Biarritz. It says: "I'm in pieces; too
shattered mentally and physically even to lift a razor." If a friend
grows a straggly beard, give him a hug and ask what's worrying him.
Brad Pitt's charity beard. Photograph: Chris Graythen/Getty Images
If you're committed to a cause, you have to grow a beard. The Hope
for Haiti Now charity telethon underlined this unspoken decree. Leonardo
DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Chris Martin and of course Brad Pitt
– all of them felt that they couldn't ask for a donation without
sporting at least some facial hair. Beards are earnest, you see; they
suggest that you are too interested in the plight of humanity to give
any thought to shaving. In Pitt's case, his commitment to the straggly
Ho Chi Minh model (and sometime plaiting of it) has been to the
detriment of his sex-symbol status; meanwhile, speculation that the
beard was the root cause of the ongoing Brangelina saga is rife. If
someone you know grows one, be generous to their Just Giving website and
hope the worthiness passes.
Ronan Keating's mid-life crisis beard. Photograph: Richard Saker/Rex Features
In Ronan Keating's world, nothing underlines his journey from
boy-band pop star to authentic thirtysomething muso better than his
carefully tended beard. But a quick scan of his topless cover shoot for
Attitude magazine this month suggests there is another impetus to
Keating's facial-hair growth. At just 33 Keating is entering an early
mid-life crisis phase. How else to explain his over buffed up body and
his desire to show it off? The beard is doubtless part of this. If your
partner buys a beard trimmer and starts working out, it's time to start
worrying.
Russell Brand's testosterone beard. Photograph: Brian Rasic/Rex Features
As exemplified by Russell Brand.
The fact that the Ancient Greeks regarded a beard as a sign of virility
won't be unknown to Brand, who is clearly desperate to convey his
masculinity. Now that he's engaged to Katy Perry there is no way he
could shave it off because it would be tantamount to saying that
monogamy means less sex for him. Plus it would reveal his baby face. In
civilian life, the testosterone beard can often be spotted on a man who
is balding or who doesn't have much chest hair. Its purpose is clear –
it says simply: "I am a red-blooded man."
