It’s been a big day for… Listening to...

What’s Really Behind Noah Centineo And KJ Apa’s Iso Beards?

Besides face.

We’re all probably looking a little worse for wear in iso – just watching our hair grow out and shrugging it off like, “Eh, who am I seeing?” but something good that has come out of all of this is that everyone is in the same boat, even celebrities – have you seen Noah Centineo’s beard?

He’s grown this hairy thing on the lower half of his face, that crept up either side of his top lip and gave itself a little kith. I don’t know if I love it or hate it but I do know that I definitely miss the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before lewks that Peter Kavinsky was serving AND, I also know, that he’s hiding things in it.

Noah Centineo’s beard is a vessel for transporting small and unassuming morsels, due to its patchy nature – think breath mints, a tourist shot glass from Albania (pre-COVID) or something you’d feed our little frog friends… crickets, perhaps.

I feel like it can definitely be a useful beard if it tries, but it’s not my favourite iso beard.

Not to pit beards against each other but Noah Centineo’s beard might just have met its Netflix-hearthrob match – meet: KJ Apa’s beard.

I think KJ Apa’s beard is maybe the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. It looks like it gives warm hugs. It looks soft. It looks like all I ever wanted.

KJ Apa’s beard makes KJ Apa look like he can build me something – like a tiny house that also has an outdoor spa bath where me and KJ Apa’s beard can talk about our day and drink red wine under the stars.

Beards are a welcome addition to a face if, and only if, it means I finally get the tiny house that I have been dreaming of – and that’s just life’s harsh reality.
