30 people who are not hipsters and have beards

Hipsters the lot of you.
Hipsters the lot of you.

It is a common fact that the only reason people in America have beards in this day and age is because they were transfixed by the trendy face sorcery mastered by the young men of Brooklyn, who trained themselves to push hair follicles through their face seemingly with little effort, and sometimes even while sleeping. This is why the Times informed us that the “Brooklyn beard” went mainstream this year, and why DNAinfo pins this beard transplant surgery trend squarely on “the hipsters from Williamsburg to Park Slope.” While it seems nearly inconceivable that anyone outside of Brooklyn could figure out how to grow a beard, we did some digging: did you know that people who do not live in Brooklyn, or even Portland, have beards? We found as many as 30 examples:

    No Kurt Russell? The Thing? Escape from NY? He’s a staple of bearded Halloween costume options! He’s vastly beardier than Bruce Willis.

    Nice job on the Bearded Men of Space Station 11 tho.
