Here's What Our Favorite Male Celebrities Look Like Without Their Beards

Sometimes the mustache maketh the man, and sometimes the razor refines him. Few men can pull off both looks, but that doesn't stop most of us from trying. While you probably recognize these bearded dudes and their famous characters, we bet you haven't seen their other groomed states. From Momoa to Harbour, watch 28 famous beards disappear.

Let's kick things off with one of the most famous beards in Hollywood.

Momoa shaved in order to draw attention to wasteful single-use plastics. Don't worry. It grows back.

Krasinski embraced his post-office career with a more mature look and one that fit better for his rugged action stardom.

But before all that he was clean shaven Jim. Never forget.

Drake pulls off one of the best shaved head, full beard looks around. It's hard now to imagine him from before . . .

You have to go pretty far back to find Drake fully clean shaven. I mean, we're practically in his Degrassi days here.

What a beard. Thank the giant's milk, we guess.

Hivju's Instagram post post-shave. Who knew there was a Disney prince hidden under there all along.

One of the great Hollywood beards around. You can hear that deep voice just looking at it.

The dude just doesn't look the same with smooth cheeks.

We might call this "beard phase 1." Who knew Letterman had an extended universe planned for his grooming.

Just a few years earlier, Letterman was clean cut for the cameras.

Galifianakis is actually Greek for "great, full beard." We're just kidding. But that beard is no joke.

Okay, Galifianakis with *less facial hair. We're not really sure Zach's face allows razors to cut to the skin.

Smith has a subtle beard, the kind you notice only when it's gone. It just works, effortlessly.

And ... here's it's gone, as if Smith hopped in a time machine back to the early 2000s.

Selleck's mustache works in a way very few guy's can. It's so much a part of his countenance that when you take it away ....

Who are we even looking at here?

Speaking of famous mustaches, there's Elliott's. If a piece of facial hair could win a supporting Oscar ...

We thought we'd never see it. Elliott on the FX series Justified mustache-less.

Leto's beard seemed to grow only with his acting success.

While we get the Jesus thing, honestly, we think Leto looks best sans-beard. Why hide that jaw line, man?

It's maybe not the facial hair you're used to on Jackman, but we're all used to facial hair in some form.

Jackman's rarely ever clean shaven. It's like the man was just born with great-looking stubble.

The salt and pepper beard isn't en easy look, even with that mane and that muscle mass. Still, Joe kills it.

It's maybe not the Joe we're used to, but it's a Joe no less enviable.

One does not simply walk into Mordor clean shaven. Or with short hair.

Offscreen Bean is usually clean shaven.

The goatee helps to elongate Foxx's face. Take it away and ...

For some reason, without the goatee, Jamie Foxx just isn't Jamie Foxx.

Look up "man" in the dictionary, you see Harbour's face.

There's almost something Jack Nicholson-like in that smile. And it might as well be Jack, because this certainly ain't David.

He knows nothing except for amazing grooming. That's enough, we think.

Kit was a young 24-year-old lad when he was first cast in Game of Thrones, though he looks like he could pass for 12.

Bale is in the Lionel Messi camp of great low-maintenance-looking facial hair. Some guys just really have it all.

Bale without facial hair usually means superhero ... or serial killer.

Clooney's beard doesn't just perfectly fit his older aesthetic, it also makes him look surprisingly younger.

Without the beard, Clooney's age shows a bit more.

It's like his hair, eyebrows, and beard are one perfectly groomed set. Where can we buy in?

Our generation's most under-appreciated actor rocks both looks.

We'll just say it: Dornan's full lumberjack beard is 50 shades of manly and without it, well, you'll see...

Clearly, there's a reason Dornan played Christian Grey clean shaven. Without facial hair he gives off a more severe vibe.

Recently, Efron has been serving up lots of scruff on the red carpet, which makes him appear older.

Sans beard, Efron looks like he could break out into "We're All in This Together" at any moment. We prefer the beard, Troy Zac.

The A-list actor rocked a full beard (presumably for his role in The Revenant) circa 2014.

While the amount of facial hair DiCaprio wears ebbs and flows, he's rarely rocked a clean shaven look since his younger days.

From a full beard to perfectly groomed goatees, Beckham likes to mix up his facial hair on the regular.

We hardly recognize Beckham without facial hair, but alas here he is with a clean shave on the field earlier in his career.

Pine isn't bashful about his graying hair, in fact he lets it go au natural when sporting a full beard.

Without the patch of gray in his beard, we'll just say it: He looks 20 years younger.

Thor Hemsworth has made a perfectly groomed beard part of his signature look, for good reason.

Even without any facial hair, there's no denying that Hemsworth has superhero good looks. Lucky man.

We can't remember when Affleck swapped his pretty boy look for a beard, but it definitely makes him look more serious.

Affleck used to go without scruff when he first started out in the industry. Now? Not so much.

There's a special place in Hollywood for Cavill's mustache, especially when paired with some light scruff.

In the name of Superman, Cavill parted ways with his 'stache. Turns out was hiding a razor sharp jawline underneath.
