Although most of Sean Penn’s choices for facial hair style have been hit-or-miss, he looks excellent when sporting an inverted-T goatee and mustache combo.

5 Worst Beards

Al Pacino

In his younger days, Al Pacino had a great full beard. However, in recent years, he decided to stick to a long goatee, which is a bad decision, as it does not seem to work that well for his look.

Larry Charles

Comedian Larry Charles’ beard makes him look like ZZ Top’s long-lost half-brother, but his facial hair is not as glorious. A good beard wax will most likely fix it, though.

David Beckham

Usually, Beck’s beard is on point. However, there are times when he lets his patchy beard grow out and it is not posh at all.

Chris Daughtry

Although Chris Daughtry has a nice-looking beard now, he wore a horrendous chin strap and goatee combo early in his career.

Zach Galifianakis

Zach’s beard is integral to his identity, but he should at least tame it sometimes. I am not saying he should copy Chris Evans’s look, but at least he should trim it occasionally.
