Yes, this happened and we didn't see this coming. Rapper and the only time we liked bleached hair—Eminem has now fallen prey to the 'stache. But umm...maybe in the wrong season. Making an appearance at the premiere of HBO's 'The Defiant Ones', the American artist/record producer/actor gave the globe a facial hair shocker. As an appalling change from his signature look of the 2000s, here's affirmation that when it comes to his grooming habits, the rapper's really not afraid.

The biggest surprise here: the mug has caught his fancy in the summer months. While lesser mortals like me, are shaving every part of our bodies (to keep pace with the sun), rapper gods are celebrating #BeardReadySummer. Here's another image of toddler-faced, Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem sporting his uncalled-for hair...

Just a couple of guys from Compton and one from Detroit. With a beard. #thedefiantones

Our verdict: We're a bag of mixed feelings. Most primarily, because the beard contouring is doing nothing for his face—neither uplifting his cheekbones nor rendering an image of a scruffy, forced-upon Greek god.
