Worst celebrity beards

David Beckham has the worst facial hair in showbiz, according to an online poll.

The British soccer star - who is married to former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham - topped an online poll by feelunique.com which asked 500 people to name the celebrity with the most unpleasant beard.

Siobhan McDermott, head buyer of feelunique.com, said: "Bad facial hair can be disastrous for even the best looking men.

"feelunique.com hope that by giving David Beckham a helping hand, he will never slip into the top 10 again."

The 34-year-old hunk finished first with a staggering 32 per cent of the votes after recently growing and sculpting his facial fuzz into a sizeable beard.

Although David's facial growth has been met with disapproval, he has received support from the Beard Liberation Front.

The group's organiser Keith Flett said: "He's got a retro beard, if you look at it it's almost like mutton chops. It's the kind of stuff footballers had in the 70s. It's an interesting choice because he could have gone for the designer style beard that is trendy and fashionable."

Ricky Gervais' 'The Office' character David Brent finished runner-up in the poll, after receiving 21 per cent of the vote for his shaped goatee.

'Rise and Fall' singer Craig David is in third place with 14 per cent for famously sporting thin facial hair, while Hollywood heartthrobs Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp also feature in the top 10.
