Since when does shaving a beard becomes newsworthy and reported as such by media - LOL!

www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/jackman-shaves-his-pan-beard-off-30551972.html

Hugh Jackman has said goodbye to his full beard.


The X-Men star grew the extra facial hair, while shaving off the locks on his head, to play pirate villain Blackbeard in Pan.

He posted the video on Instagram, captioned: "Going ..." before a barber switches on the shaver and does the job.

The day before, the Australian actor shared a photo of himself holding a drink, complete with bald head, bushy moustache and beard, with the accompanying caption: "Cheers."

Hugh's decision to take the chop came after shooting on the Peter Pan origins story wrapped.

"That's a wrap for Blackbeard on #PAN. Thank you to the phenomenal cast & crew! You are all tops. @wbpictures @that'sawrap," he tweeted on August 27.

The Oscar-nominated heartthrob started growing the beard in February, and chopped off his hair in June, shortly before filming began.

Rooney Mara plays Tiger Lily, with Levi Miller as the young Peter Pan. Amanda Seyfried has been cast as Mary in Pan, which is being directed by English filmmaker Joe Wright. It will be released in 2015.

Hugh previously said: "This is the prequel to Peter Pan. This is the origin story so it is very smart, there's a lot of heart to it and of course, you're in Neverland. I play the villain Blackbeard, who is charming and who loves to hear the sound of his own voice. I'm really enjoying it."

But did he keep something for a goatee in the meantime ( to give more character to his shaven head look)?


Or is the shaving task not yet complete and the look is still a work in progress

The event is even reported by EMPIRE

Our man is back immediately looking gorgeous!!!

It has become a media event - LOL!

People.com reports on the odyssey of Hugh's Blackbeard facial hair:D

Also reported on UK Daily Mail, Just Jared, etc.


Warner Bros and Joe Wright probably did not expect the free publicity for PAN created by Hugh Jackman for the main antagonist in the origin story of Peter Pan.

Ever wondered why Peter has a surname called PAN? That is one of the secrets from this movie

E!Online joins the fray


www.eonline.com/news/574950/hugh-jackman-gets-beard-shaved-had-delicious-snack-to-celebrate-pan-film-wrap-watch-the-video

Late on Sunday, videos showing a man ,who also sports impressive facial hair, shaving the actor were posted on his account.

"Au revoir," Jackman said, with a cute eyebrow raise...

And so did MTV.com, YahooMovies, Hollywood.com and other sites.

But there is some sentiment for the just-gone look --

To be fair, Hugh just shaved this off. But I couldn’t not include it. LOOK AT IT. Let’s just pretend he still has it, okay? Because it’s just too perfect. He kept it like that for months for his role as the pirate Blackbeard in the upcoming movie Pan. Coupled with the bald head, it was simply magnificent. We’ll miss you, pirate beard.

The look will be preserved for posterity in the movie PAN

[jo]

From his latest interview (Vulture) --

I know you have some very exciting facial hair right now [he has a crazy moustache and goatee and is bald for his role in Pan, as Bluebeard]. Will you be keeping that for the play?

Yeah, I doubt it. I went to Disney World with my daughter as a birthday present, and the great thing was no one recognized me. I was on the water slides, and I’d gone up about five times, and this girl kept looking at me, and I thought she was recognizing me. Then she goes, “Man, your facial hair rocks. You look like a goddamn pirate.” I was like, yeah, I like pirates! So every time I went down, which was another 20 times, I heard “Go, pirate, go!” It was fun. But yeah, I have a feeling if you’re a girl and you go to a remote fishing cabin on a moonless night with a guy with a bald head and facial hair like that, you’re probably going to run the other way.

Cute story ...Will the girl ever know - LOL!

Hair grows at about a half inch a month. His head should have an inch if hair by first preview, less based on haircut styling of course.

[jo]

LOL - the goodbye to Blackbeard was part of the news roundup on ABC News ( replayed here in Manila as part of another show) -- check out # 2 item on this video clip :

abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/babies-brides-beaches-celebs-spent-labor-day-25219144

Maybe I exaggerate - but not since Samson ( in the movie with Delilah) was shorn of his locks have we seen so much fuss over a man's hairstyle's full circle

Is Hugh back in NYC?

Or is this an old photo?





It looks like the above photo is current, as he had a goatee/beard in a photo taken with the same company 3 months ago ( before PAN filming) --

Photo is the same instagram image posted on the above post. So, it seems that Hugh really does enjoy the company of the president of the NYStock Exchange in his morning workout group.

Thanks

The above gym photo also confirms that he is back in NYC.


Everyone's watching now how fast his hair is going to grow before he gets onstage at CITS

[jo]

We're all on a hair-watch -- LOL!





Why so glum, Hugh ( is it because of the score so far?)


Where was this -- at the US Tennis Open, in the match between Roger Federer and Gael Monfils.

Hugh is cheering for Rog!

Hugh Jackman @realhughjackman · 11m

Go Roger! @rogerfederer @usopen @espn

http://instagram.com/p/si5M1PChNC

But who can also say NO to Gael - that playful and French player who is like a little boy and who delights the crowd with his playing antics ( which usually hit the mark)


I have been watching the match, but I have yet to see Hugh ( who I understand is not just in Roger's box with family and friends, but he is supposed to be sitting behind Mirka Federer)

More photos --



Roger must have scored a point!





With Deb




Sitting behind Roger's wife, Mirka, and next to Vogue's Anna Wintour who is a great fan of Federer! In Roger's Player Box at the US Open.




Applauding with Mirka, as maybe Roger is now discovering his form in the third set ( after the losing the first two).

Hugh is also back to the NYC social scene --

With Vogue's Anna Wintour --



I wonder what kind of coverage in the theatre section of the following issue(s) of Vogue will be given to THE RIVER. Hugh has always been given impressive VOGUE coverage for his Broadway work since TBFO!


And a clearer shot with Deb --

I think @realhughjackman is the good luck charm at the #USOpen for @rogerfederer tonight... Get him tickets for the next two rounds...

It looks that way... as Roger is on the way to wrapping the match, after Gael's game fell apart! Roger's a true champion as he held on to last till the fifth set!


EDIT: Roger won! I finally saw Hugh - applauding the win, but only a body shot ( no head)

I'll bet Deb is glad to be back in NY now that Fashion Week is unfolding.
