Big “gnarly” beards like Brian Blessed’s are the ultimate style statement, fashion gurus say.
The “Gordon’s alive” actor and explorer’s massive bushy beard is on-trend according to style bible GQ. Style expert and writer Adam Cheung said Blessed’s rugged he-man image is the look of 2025.
He said: “Big, bushy beards are back, and they are beefier, bulkier and better than ever. In recent years, big beards seem to have diminished in favour of stubble, but that’s about to change in 2025.”
Style expert Cheung added: “It’s not a total copy and paste from ten years ago because today’s beards are a bit less sculptured and a bit more gnarly and often teamed with shorter hair for more impact.”
Blessed, 88, who starred in in Flash Gordon in 1980 as Prince Vultan and is known for taking over powerful out of doors challenges sporting his trademark beard.
