Penn Badgley’s New Beard: Love It or Hate it?

Spotted: Penn Badgley sporting some major new facial hair growth. The Gossip Girl star (and real-life boyfriend to costar Blake Lively) is saying good-bye to his clean-shaven baby face and adding some serious facial hair that borders on a beard. Could this be Dan’s new grown-up college look? Or is Penn just taking a more relaxed approach to his personal grooming these days while on hiatus from the CW show? Either way, we want to know what you think of his new hipster look. Tell us: Do you prefer Penn clean-shaven or hairy?

GG starts filming again at the end of this month. I say it is gone by then.

[...] HAIR • Penn Badgley could stand to do some manscaping on his face. The actor grew a scruffy beard, and it falls short of being sexy. [Off the Rack/People] [...]

Is he going to be in Wolverine or Twilight? if yes, I dont mind but clean shaven Penn is better!

Katie on June 4th, 2009

At first glance, I thought it was Mark Ruffalo!

he is sexy both ways

It doesnt flatter his face at all. I hope he shaves it off.

Penn does not look good scraggly! I was watching “John Tucker must die” this week, and all I could think every time I saw him was “Oh humphrey, you really need a hair cut. Right now.”
