Another commenter theorized, “[Having a] mustache makes you look very old than [a] beard—keeping both will make you look 30 [while] in your 20s.” An Instagram user echoed the sentiment, saying, “[He] aged himself about 30 years.”

Not everyone thought the beard was flattering. One person stated, “This is the first time I’ve seen a beard that doesn’t suit someone.” Another unimpressed user commented, “He looks like a cult leader.”
