Shaven hero look nearly extinct in Kollywood vs 2000s

[Harshit]

Not that I'm dissing actors with a bearded look, but I'm kinda surprised how beards have taken over completely - whether it's a young actor or a middle‑aged one.

[Akash]

None of them can pull off a clean shaven look without looking their actual age of 40s and 50s. Beard hides it well enough that a simple botox on the side of eyes and forehead is enough to make them look "young" to the audience.

[Harish]

Beard is used to hide aged looks - that's the truth for the actors mentioned above.

Suriya looks stunning

It hides double chin, uneven facial texture, takes the focus away from acne and scars. Stubble beard became a global trend.

How can you not include this guy when talking about shaven looks?

[Sagar]

Dhanush is the only one who did it in Idly Kadai. He's been using his clean shaven look a lot to play younger versions of his characters, but in Idly Kadai his face actually shows his age and he can't convince us he's in his early 20s anymore.

Bro AUSS is always clean shaven and has pulled off many blockbusters like Tamizh Padam, how dare you forget him?

Proper cop movies can still go for a clean shaven look
