Justin Bieber Sparks Heated Debate on Instagram with Honest Beard Confession

Justin Bieber is considering changing up his look, and his fans have a lot of thoughts.

The 31-year-old SWAG hitmaker took to Instagram on Sunday, Sept. 28, to share a few photos of his beard, telling his followers that he was considering getting rid of the facial hair.

“Thinking about shaving the beard,” he captioned the post. His comments section rapidly filled up as fans rushed to weigh in.

Some were quick to encourage Bieber to grab a razor and go fresh-faced.

“Shave your beard, it will look even more handsome,” one fan opined, leaving another to reply, “I have been saying the exact same thing!!!”

Another fan wrote, “do it for vibes and let’s just see.”

“Please shave the beard,” someone pleaded while a user wrote that it “has to go” and urged him to “do it today.”

“Yes let’s see that adorable face again,” someone wrote, with another user adding that he should also get rid of his mustache for a full baby face.

Others were more open to his facial hair.

“I like the beard. Gave him even more personality,” one supporter wrote, with another urging him, “Keep it broski.”

One fan amassed nearly 4,000 likes with their comment, which encouraged Bieber to listen to his wife Hailey Bieber’s opinion: “Whatever Hailey likes,” they wrote.

While others were in agreement about keeping his wife happy, some were quick to point out that Justin couldn’t totally base his look on his wife.

“It absolutely matters but she loves Justin no matter how he looks so she would support whatever he wants,” one person explained.

Justin’s latest post about his beard comes just a few weeks after he expressed disbelief over his facial hair.

“Still can’t believe my beard is this long. I prayed for this beard lmfao,” he wrote on Instagram, sharing a black-and-white selfie that he took. The closely cropped shot showed off his scruff as he made a silly face and delivered some side eye.

He’s been showing off his look in various posts on the social media platform, including a recent steamy pic that he and Hailey took, sharing a kiss in the pool.
