I’m watching the second season of Broadchurch, and something about David Tennant’s beard is really bothering me. It’s not a yukky beard in and of itself, and it’s not just a neckbeard because the coverage on his chin, cheeks and upper lip is perfectly respectable. But the part that grows on his neck bothers me. Look at it.

It’s shaped like a bib! He has a bibbeard.

#Airy post#it’s like it runs off his face and down his neck#but then it just STOPS#and his neck AROUND it is so hairless and pale#trim David Tennant’s beard 2k15#I mean of course the character reason for the beard is that DI Hardy is miserable#and wracked by guilt and self-doubt and regret#and has consequently Let Himself Go#he doesn’t care enough about his own appearance at this point to shave his neck#beardshaming

Poor DT, stuck in a perpetual phase of “I need to let it grow out before I can shape it”
