The ‘Argo‘ actor-and-director, Ben Affleck had deemed the
facial hair a lucky charm during the awards season but parted with his beard
after the film won the Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards on
Sunday, February 24, 2013.
The 40-year-old star removed his facial fuzz during a low-key
Oscars after-party in the hallway of Craig’s restaurant in west Hollywood.
A source told E! News: ‘He did it to mark the end of a chapter.
It had that ceremonial quality to it.’
The director’s showbiz friends – including ‘Argo’ producer
George Clooney and his girlfriend Stacy Keibler – were among the witnesses, and
TMZ reports that guests also joined in the fun, helping Ben cut down his chin
bush.
Ben had previously admitted his wife Jennifer Garner and their
children – daughters Violet, seven, Seraphina, four, and 11-month-old son
Samuel – were unimpressed with the bushy beard he grew for his role in the
political thriller.
He said: ‘My wife is a very polite and kind woman. She and the
kids did not like the beard. It had an exposed wire vibe. It was hated in my
home.’
The director was the toast of the
awards season this year, with ‘Argo’ taking home the Best Picture gong at the
Oscars, as well as Best Director and Best Film at the BAFTAs and Golden
Globe Awards.
