The ones I would say have mostly been taken, but one remains. Al Yankovic.

I was going to mention Sigmund Freud. There are tons of photos of him, but I couldn’t find one without the beard. I guess he really did look better with it.

How many of these, by “weird” you mean “not like I think of him”? Because I can’t see anything wrong with Sam Elliott other than he doesn’t look like Sam Elliott.

It is. [Here](http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131220154327/filmguide/images/7/70/Richard-Armitage-Wallpaper.jpg)’s a [real](http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/racwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ra_baftala19.jpg) [beardless](http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gfaqsff/images/c/c5/Richard_Armitage_8.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131229105654).

That problem also has a fisheye camera effect distorting his face.

I think he looks more like an alien with the beard.

This, a thousand times this,

The beard helps offset his larger than average nose.
