The 15 Most Fascinating Beards of 2015

Growing a beard is a lot like marriage, according to Leonardo DiCaprio. In a recent interview with Variety, Leo revealed that he grew deeply attached to his facial hair while filming The Revenant. "It becomes like a spouse," he said. "You sleep with it." But when the move wrapped, Leo filed for divorce: "It was like shaving off dreads." As we epilate the beard that is 2015 and open the follicles of a new year, let us take a moment to remember all of the facial hairs that defined the past 12 months. But unlike Leo's temporary scruff, we hope these 15 beards continue to flourish in 2016.
