Michael Rosen & Michael Sheen named the Loveliest Valentine’s Beards 2021
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the annual vote for
My Hairy Valentine the beards that are most loved has ended with hairs being split between author Michael Rosen and actor Michael Sheen
They shaved contenders such as George Clooney and Idris Elba for the accolade.
This year My Hairy Valentine was refocused to include two categories:
1 Beards that are sexy, allowing for the reality that this is in the eye of the beholder
2 Beards that are loved because they add a reassuring presence to public life and should be celebrated.
The campaigners say that they didn’t attempt to define a sexy Valentine’s beard as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They are concerned however to move away from traditional images of chisel jawed clean shaven men, and dispel pogonophobic myths that beards are dirty or unkempt
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, given that Michael Rosen and Michael Sheen also shared the Beard of the Year 2020 Award in December it seems clear that they are the most loved beards at the moment and what better day to celebrate that than Valentine’s Day.
