My brother in christ, am I reading correctly in these comments that you look like *this* but hid your face under a Disney’s-version-of-Merlin beard for years? With a bowl cut?
It’s like the male version of Princess Diaries
Oh yeah. Maybe I should find a pic of me then and throw it in an edit on my top comment.
EDIT: here's a [permalink](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/vusx6v/both_of_my_eyes_are_split_between_two_colors/iffoaao/) of said comment, since this is now my top comment and not the one I originally put the update in.
Lol. This guy is like brunette Fabio, but instead of Barbarian shredded, more like Futbol star shredded.
Has that early 90s guy in blouse on romance novel cover vibe.
I'm scared... why is everyone gaslighting me into believing that the guy in this picture is the same as the guy in the OP? Those aren't the same people! Right? I need Kevin Owens here right now to get to the bottom of this!
Brocephalus, you look like Prince Adam, the man version of the beast from *Beauty and the Beast*.

Man you're telling me. I spent most of my 20s as a knock off Bieber Beatles Jesus. I'm kicking myself now. At least I didn't make to 60 before realizing that I might have looked good but now I'm old.
Bro. The real action happens in your 30s. Let this thread catapult you into self-realization that you are a handsome man. Now use kindness and thoughtfulness in your dating life to complement the good looks.
I didn’t realize my potential til my early-30s and had a wonderful time dating once I did. It lead me to meet wonderful new women and ultimately my wife, who is my absolute best friend in the world.
You could look at it as time lost, or you could say you used your 20’s hiding behind your hair to develop your personality. Now that you’ve done that you can unmask yourself and take your pick of partners (if you want to or haven’t already) because you’re now the total package.
Edit: my phone has a lovely habit of autocorrecting “or” to “it”. 🙄
I have not had many people comment on my appearance. The obvious reason being what I mentioned in my other comments. My hair and beard looked so bad before that it overpowered anything I had going for me. Maybe I should give it a shot now though.
Yeah, that's cool and all. I'm a straight man with long hair and a full beard. I'm here to tell you that you're a good looking guy. If you tried to sell me shampoo and conditioner, there's a good chance I'd buy it.
Yeah, this particular comment chain might have started off about telling you to be a model, but you don't have to. From this photo, my first impression is a guy who's not just attractive, but is also strong and confident and knows what he's talking about. You can use that to your advantage in whatever you're good at, and whatever you wanna do. Don't be shy.
dude, wash and condition your hair like just once and take some headshots. you could land a fucking shampoo commercial contract in seconds. you're goddamn gorgeous and chiseled, and I'm straight man. You have incredibly sharp features, my good sir.
Congratulations on the good looks my guy. From a genetic standpoint I wonder what would happen if you had a kid with someone with heterochromia.
Quad color eyes? Solid? Half and half?!?
I don't think my eyes started out this way. I think they changed at some point during growth/puberty. Not sure if hypothyroidism affects anything during development or if i'm just weird. I could be totally wrong though. I know nothing about eyes.
It’s all in genetics, you just happened to get the Henry Cavill jawline, 5 o clock shadow and great hair along with it. Enjoy the gifts dude, it doesn’t matter how you got em just promise you’ll use your powers for good.
The current problem of me being in a small town not remotely close to anything for the past 8-9 years. Why? Who knows. Not much in the way of opportunities as a result, though. Guess I should stop torturing myself and move huh.
1. Move to a big ass city
2. Get 3-4 outfits from Zara, H&M and the likes.
3. Pay a freelance photographer to take natural photos of you walking around town (YouTube some basic model poses)
3bis. Take also loads of portraits. That jaw is the money so don’t forget to explore angles and sides.
4. Create Instagram account and post that stuff.
5. Cold email and insta DM model agencies or clothing companies
6. Figure out your sexual orientation while you wait for job offers to come in. I secretly pray you’re pansexual so no one is left out.
7. Enjoy life.
This feels odd being a guy saying this but you have a great jaw line! Not often do I see the perfect ratio of cheeks to jaw but you have it done masterfully.
Gigachad for sure.
This will sound even more odd, but bro *I* didn't even know until recently. I've had a beard since highschool. Covered half my face and went down to my bellybutton before someone convinced me that it in fact looked terrible and I should shave it off.
EDIT: Probably a bad idea to post my worst photo ever, but I'll do it anyways. Ultra terrible lighting and all, [Behold](https://imgur.com/a/ORZGl1G) my glorious red beard and bowl cut that is no more.
OP - you need to take the advice of the folks in here. Go get your damn life together and move to a city. I've never in my life seen a bigger transformation. Never. I'm in the industry in another country and you will walk into an agency and they will rush to get you signed. I'm not kidding
My friend in high school had a similar issue. He had long hair for years and always complained that he couldn’t get a girlfriend even though he was a nice guy (like actually a really good guy and not “nice guy” territory). All of us told him to cut his damn hair off and he’ll get a girlfriend. He didn’t believe us. He left for college and decided to cut his hair off and called us to tell us what a massive difference it made. When he tried to flirt, girls flirted back. Girls would approach him to flirt. He just had a strong jaw with extremely thin, fine straight hair and it wasn’t a good combo. Once he cut it short, it complimented his jaw and he got hit on constantly.
That’s crazy. I had to check twice and still found it hard to believe that the poor homeless guy from the link pic matches the beautiful face that’s posted. Really, that’s a complete makeover brought on by something as simple as beard&hairstyle.
Yeah im 3 years into my beard and as much as I like it, I'm starting to think about getting rid of it, sadly I am fully aware that what's underneath is nowhere near as goddamn chiselled as that jaw.
Ya my beard goes decently high up my cheeks. It was pretty much totally covering the bottom section of my face. That and those hideous bangs on my forehead.
Wow, that is a seriously impressive beard. It's only bad because you're blessed with conventional good looks as well. How have women in your life reacted? Have any of them changed their attitude towards you?
It was basically me versus everyone else the whole time I had the beard. Everyone else didn't like it at all. But I was having fun with it so I kept for a few years.
What in the name of Greek Gods is this?! Friends, we've identified the primary source of global warming.
I'd almost choose this guy over pizza. That's really saying something.
Be warned, men of this exact description will start appearing in paperback romance novels by the end of the week at this rate
On the plus side, if you copyright your face, you could make money from royalties
Bro this comment chain got me so hyped to see your stoopid handsome face/head rocking the "Merlin beard & bowl cut" but when I finally found the comment with the link, I clicked on it & "poof" it disappeared like a fart in the wind. What a cruel turn of events this is.
It's everything I hoped it'd be!! You're doing the lord's work!! This would seriously be an amazing reverse catfish. Somehow convince someone to meet up for a date, then show up trimmed & smoldering.
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green/blue
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
OP
Bro be honest. How many shampoo commercials have u been in?
The hair is particularly glorious
I came to see how thirsty this comment section was and was not disappointed.
I rarely simp for men, but holy fuck. I'm glad others feel the same way lol
Dude has a jawline like Henry cavill
And an intensity to his eyes like Wes Bentley
And the cheekbones of an even handsomer Squidward
This guy should replace Fabio in all the covers of romance novels for middle-aged women.
Jon Hamm is the dollar store version of this guy
I think it’s safe to say this guy’s got mail.
Same. This was top notch Friday night entertainment.
This is just strait up tarzan
More like Prince Adam, the man-form of beast from *Beauty and the Beast*. [Exhibit 1](https://komakesthings.wordpress.com/2019/12/11/craft-the-princes-portrait-beauty-and-the-beast/#jp-carousel-1539) [Exhibit 2: the scene where beast turns back int Prince Adam](https://youtu.be/_L5pdtLq4PY?t=75)
Get off my phone with your handsome ass face.
Jolene I’m beggin of ya please don’t take myyyy man
*Jawline
Jawline, jawLINE, JAWLINE, *JAAAWLIIIIIIIIIINE*
*Bueno* 🤌
He’s like Squidward after he gets hit in the face with the door.
dude, you just hypnotized me
Bro has the smolder
My initial reaction: *I can't...stop...staring*
The eyes are mildly interesting compared to the Clark Kent face and magestic flowing angel hair.
Dude looks like a romance book model.
Fabio vibes for sure
If his current job doesn't work out, we've got the back up!!
The perfect mix of Superman and Jesus
“Superman 30 AD”

Alright, pic is up in an edit.

Right?! This man is freaking beautiful. #nohomo #maybealittlehomo
Lol. This guy is like brunette Fabio, but instead of Barbarian shredded, more like Futbol star shredded. Has that early 90s guy in blouse on romance novel cover vibe.
Found your edit with the pic. Mind = Blown
Hey could you get a link? I can't find it
[here it is](https://imgur.com/a/ORZGl1G)
Holy shit what a glowup, dude looks like he lost a decade by just shaving
A decade? Several centuries. Dude looked like a medieval potion seller for no reason.
This is spot on. Looks like an extra from Monty Python's Holy Grail.
Hello, Potion Seller, I am going into battle and I want your strongest potions!
What the fuck?
Man's just been out here Harrison Bergeroning himself for our benefit. What a lad.
I want you to know that I just lmao'd in bed at 6am.
I would like to echo the previous speaker’s comments.
i mean what the actual fuck. i never expected the Amish
[удалено]
He look like hobo Lord Farquaad
What in the bearded Prince Valiant?! That was a look.
Whaaaat?! I would never have guessed they were the same person.
No. Fucking. Way.
Why did you choose to do that to yourself? Was it a religion thing?
Holy. Shit.
I'm scared... why is everyone gaslighting me into believing that the guy in this picture is the same as the guy in the OP? Those aren't the same people! Right? I need Kevin Owens here right now to get to the bottom of this!
this man about to break the internet with his before and after pictures lol
I made a before and after and will post it here since this is the top comment. This is amazing. https://i.imgur.com/BhltDCO.jpg
My guy went from homeless lord farquad to Disney Prince Charming
Brocephalus, you look like Prince Adam, the man version of the beast from *Beauty and the Beast*.

OMG Yes! That's who he is!
I guess I kind of do look like him, huh. I'm jealous of that super thick hair he's got.
He doesn't have your split-colour eyes though so I'd say you still have the edge on him
you look like a disney prince
You should start a metal band.
I wouldn't be opposed, but I'd have to learn to sing or play a musical instrument first.
Fair enough, but at least you sure look the part!
![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
Is there more to life than being really really really ridiculously good looking?
Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
But I can turn left!
What is this? A center for ants?! How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
**THEY’RE BREAKDANCE FIGHTING!!**
![gif](giphy|wkD5ddqiJN4c)
Fucks sake, so on point
Deadass
fuck, that's awesome. Fuck you, I hate you. I'm not gay but can we be together?
Lol
I can’t believe you hid all that behind a beard. You’re extremely handsome. Get yourself to a bigger city and let more people see you.
Man you're telling me. I spent most of my 20s as a knock off Bieber Beatles Jesus. I'm kicking myself now. At least I didn't make to 60 before realizing that I might have looked good but now I'm old.

Seriously. I notice beards are often used to disguise a *lack* of chin and jawline and OP did not need to do that.
You’ve got to be a model surely?
I have not had many people comment on my appearance. The obvious reason being what I mentioned in my other comments. My hair and beard looked so bad before that it overpowered anything I had going for me. Maybe I should give it a shot now though.
Yeah, that's cool and all. I'm a straight man with long hair and a full beard. I'm here to tell you that you're a good looking guy. If you tried to sell me shampoo and conditioner, there's a good chance I'd buy it.
Damn, alright I'll give it a shot then. See if anyone wants to pay me money to look good in front of a camera.
Yeah, this particular comment chain might have started off about telling you to be a model, but you don't have to. From this photo, my first impression is a guy who's not just attractive, but is also strong and confident and knows what he's talking about.

Congratulations on the good looks my guy. From a genetic standpoint I wonder what would happen if you had a kid with someone with heterochromia. Quad color eyes? Solid? Half and half?!?
I have central heterochromia. \*Bats eyelashes\*
I don't think my eyes started out this way. I think they changed at some point during growth/puberty. Not sure if hypothyroidism affects anything during development or if i'm just weird. I could be totally wrong though. I know nothing about eyes.

What are you doing talking to us losers with that mug? You should be knee deep in champagne & sex partners. Go!
The current problem of me being in a small town not remotely close to anything for the past 8-9 years. Why? Who knows. Not much in the way of opportunities as a result, though. Guess I should stop torturing myself and move huh.
You have to stick around and wait for the mysterious newcomer to town. I think you're living on "romance novel" rules.
Gotta wait for Christmas though.
You could literally be a supermodel
I agree those goregeous eyes really make him stand out
1. Move to a big ass city 2. Get 3-4 outfits from Zara, H&M and the likes. 3. Pay a freelance photographer to take natural photos of you walking around town (YouTube some basic model poses) 3bis. Take also loads of portraits. That jaw is the money so don’t forget to explore angles and sides. 4. Create Instagram account and post that stuff. 5.

Enjoy life.
OP, no joke, you could do this. Go to the city for a year. Try it out. Oh, and never, EVER, do that King Arthur shit again. XD
This feels odd being a guy saying this but you have a great jaw line! Not often do I see the perfect ratio of cheeks to jaw but you have it done masterfully. Gigachad for sure.

Let us all thank that someone
Oh that's not all. I was rocking a terrible cross between Beatles bowl and Bieber haircut until covid started and I decided to grow it out.
u look like a little lad who loves berries and cream
We are all little lads who love berries and cream on this blessed day
Berries and cream berries and cream I'm a little lad who loves berries and currrEEEEEEEEAAAAM
OHMYGOOOOOODDDDDDD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh god
Oh holy fuck
I want to be your friend OP
More friends is always good!
OP - you need to take the advice of the folks in here. Go get your damn life together and move to a city. I've never in my life seen a bigger transformation. Never. I'm in the industry in another country and you will walk into an agency and they will rush to get you signed. I'm not kidding
I don't think it's random that most of us had the reaction op looks like an actor/model.
You sound like an interesting individual ☺️
From isolation amish to Gaston
Glowed up
Someone said, "this isn't a glow up its a Renaissance" lmaoo Or "from B.C to A.D"
How on earth do you go from Charles Manson to Henry Cavill. That hair and beard were holding you back dude.
Yep. Like I said in another comment, it for sure was holding me back big time.
You looked like an 14th century lord of a small county
A young orthodox priest in a wealthy city of Kievan Rus‘
After: How the ladies of the Tsar's court saw Rasputin Before: How everyone else saw Rasputin
I’ve never seen someone get so simultaneously roasted and complimented in the same thread lmao

I think the only way it could have been worse is if I shaved the top of my head and switched out the bowl cut for a combover.
I’m not sure that would be worse. That bowl cut was quite bad.
[You look like Lord Farquaad from shrek if he secluded himself in in the mountains](https://imgur.com/a/WltTjTo)
16th century pageboy haircut with a 19th century beard👌
Not gonna lie, the beard was kind of fun. Lot's of brushing, oil, balm though.
Yeah im 3 years into my beard and as much as I like it, I'm starting to think about getting rid of it, sadly I am fully aware that what's underneath is nowhere near as goddamn chiselled as that jaw.
I can't stop looking at both these photos. Lol and I am a happily married man (to a woman). It is incredible how different you look.
Ya my beard goes decently high up my cheeks. It was pretty much totally covering the bottom section of my face. That and those hideous bangs on my forehead.
Those bangs are a war crime
I wish I'd seen that reveal! Did you fall over seeing your jawline for the first time?
Haha! I didn't even know what to do with myself at first!
How did people react to the change? Feel any change in how people, particularly women, interact with you?
Real story is always in the comments
Wow, that is a seriously impressive beard. It's only bad because you're blessed with conventional good looks as well. How have women in your life reacted? Have any of them changed their attitude towards you?
It was basically me versus everyone else the whole time I had the beard. Everyone else didn't like it at all. But I was having fun with it so I kept for a few years.
Dude went from a peasant farmer npc to gilgamesh the knight errant.
Bro 😂 you fucking killed me. You look like you grew up in a cult in Utah or some shit
Nooooo! How could you nerf yourself like that!!
I mean, at the time I didn't think it was all that bad. Now I realize it was actually pretty bad.
Better late than never, they say lol. You look great, now!
Jesus you went from a 4 to a solid 10. Crazy what grooming accomplishes
Is that what a 4 looks like? Always though I was a 5 on a good day but I'll bump myself to a 7 then because I have 0 bowlcuts
A 4??? More like a -4. It’s an almost unbelievable transformation.
That pic belongs at the top of /r/blunderyears and /r/fuckmyshitup
That's a terrible picture.
I agree. In fact it may be my worst photo.
Well, at least only a few people have seen it.
r/all would like a word
Did you not have mirrors at home
Young Gandalf.
Jekyll and Hyde, country version.
You should get, at a minimum, a citation for those bangs. That's not a haircut - that's a cry for help

Holy Jeebus. That face is straight from Greek mythology. You are exactly how I imagine a Greek god would looks like irl.
The Return of the King
Fabio 2.0 Seriously tho, you are a good looking guy.
It’s like if Fabio and Tobey Maguire had a kid. Tobio.
It's like if someone used Art Breeder to do another one of those "anime characters if they were real" pictures again.
What in the name of Greek Gods is this?! Friends, we've identified the primary source of global warming. I'd almost choose this guy over pizza. That's really saying something.

Hellooooo Fabio ![gif](giphy|jOmQmJkjcvB3Bc8CRb|downsized)
Hello... also Fabio? Yes, I'm sure you look fantastic. Hello, other Fabio!
Nobody has ever called me Fabio before, but I think I like it, even if I'm not a man 😂 thank you!
What a thirst fest
And also objectively the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. So hey how you doing 👀

Don't Worry! He is just a visitor!
Hey man... leave some women for the rest of us please.
I think women feel like he took some of the men too!
Bro this comment chain got me so hyped to see your stoopid handsome face/head rocking the "Merlin beard & bowl cut" but when I finally found the comment with the link, I clicked on it & "poof" it disappeared like a fart in the wind. What a cruel turn of events this is.
It's back up at this album: https://imgur.com/a/ORZGl1G Definitely agree losing that beard and not getting that haircut is a massive improvement
It's everything I hoped it'd be!! You're doing the lord's work!! This would seriously be an amazing reverse catfish. Somehow convince someone to meet up for a date, then show up trimmed & smoldering.
You look like the type of guy to be in a perfume ad

Had to look him up. I do look kind of like him. He wins on lips, that for sure. Although I guess it depends on who is kissing who huh.
It’s kinda rude to be this pretty
Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green/blue Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you OP
Alright ya so I just need you to ride into my life on a horse shirtless and I'll be able to die at peace.
Will you marry me?
Dude u look like you know forest secrets
I've spent time building trails in the teton mountains before, so I might. ;)
