Fuglock Holmes


On Twitter the other day (we’re @fuggirls), a few of you tweeted that we HAD to deal with Jude Law on Good Morning America. And I thought, “come on! How bad could it be?” Why do I ever even doubt you guys? Seriously:

He looks like he’s in the middle of filming a sequel to Witness.

    It’s like he’s looking at us saying “I know honey, I know. But unkempt is so in this season…”

  2. EGG

    hehe he looks amish!

  3. kate

    what, the beard? i like the beard!

  4. suri

    He looks like a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Justin Timberlake circa 2005.

  5. Gretchen

    He’s just 2 peah away from looking like an Hasidic Jew. Someone grab him a handkerchief and we can dance like the rabbi in Fiddler on the Roof!

  6. Laura Elizabeth Nielsen

    Hence the Witness reference.

  7. mary lou bethune

    officially not handsome anymore.

  8. hfree

    Walking to work yesterday I saw this on a TV in a shop through the window and did a double take, that’s how bad this was.

    “If I were a rich man….”

    • Anita

      Yeah, forget Witness, he’s two curls away from a remake of Fiddler on the Roof.

  10. Zed

    Oh dear lord. How are the tasty fallen.

  11. Libby

    …and in this Witness sequel he’s the homely younger brother of Alexander Godunof (man, that guy made Amish look good!)

    • Maggie

      CANNOT believe you threw down Alexander G. For the WIN!!!! He knew how to swing a hammer in that movie.

    • Jenna Horko

      Of course, Alexander G. had a younger brother in “Witness”. Played by Viggo Mortensen. Ah, tasty!
      As for Jude, I have no problem with the beard. The clothes are so-so, and the hat is wrong, but I understand why he wears hats right now (his head being half-shaved, half-not for a movie, and apparently looking very freaky), but there are hats that are more fitting to wear indoors. This is too formal.

  12. Bob Stanley

    I didn’t know Jude Law was doing Yentl on Ice.

  13. Anne B

    Natural beauty: female celebrities yearn for it, male celebrities (Pitt, Depp, Law) run from it.

    Strange days indeed.

    • ChristopherD

      How is the beard rendering his beauty unnatural? He has no visible make-up, a nice natural beard/hair colour and a simple outfit. Looks pretty natural to me.

      • Anne B

        I never said he looked unnatural. It’s the styling. Really, Jude? Your own looks are this much of a burden to you? At least lose the hat. (Indoors!)

        I prefer the clean-shaven look, but thanks to Jon Hamm I’m not anti-beard at all :)

      • witjunkie

        No, we women just wonder why men with a pretty face want to cover it up so we can’t see it.

  14. Eva

    And to think he was probably the hottest man around circa 2004…

  15. Caroleena Stantonova

    In Amish World, the beard would indicate that he is in matrimonial bondage. He doesn’t look THAT miserable.

  16. Jonathan

    You know, I have to disagree. At least the beard is groomed, and quite unlike the evil Joaquin Phoenix’s back in the day. I mean, Jon Hamm pulled the beard off nicely, and I would have to argue that Mr. Law is at least as tasty as he!

    • ChristopherD

      It’s interesting how few women seem to like beards. I agree with you, he’s groomed and still tasty. The outfit on the other hand needs a bit of work, but I always thought a man looks good in a hat (Young Hasidic Jews and Amish men can be quite hot.)

  17. Anna

    I believe he’s in the middle of filming Anna Karenina? I assume that’s what the beard is for – I doubt he just grows it for fun ;)

  18. Erica

    What? I’d still hit it.

    There are worse beards out there. MUCH WORSE.

    • Sonya

      To Erica I would like to say “ditto” and add that beards can be shaved off too. He is still hot underneath the lumberjack beard.

  19. laura h

    Or Cold Mountain, II

  20. vandalfan

    I’m a pushover for a good beard. Not five o’clock shadow, mind you, or I Misplaced The Razor Last Week, but manly trimmed facial hair. It’s the collarless shirt under a jacket, and worse, the ridiculous hat, worn indoors. That’s as bad as a trucker’s hat.

  21. A

    Amish or… for a second I thought it was Michael Stipe. All of his hair finally jumped off his head and onto his face.

    • Deb Chasteen

      Rats–Made my comment before I read yours. Yep, full-tilt Stipey.

  22. funderpants

    RUN SAMUEL, RUN!!!

    (Away from those beat-ass NKOTB circa 1988 hats, that is.)

  23. maryse

    the beard is for a movie role. the hat is ridiculous though and the jacket looked like he had stolen it from charlie chaplin. he’s still charming and yummy though.

  24. Jen from Cincy

    This made me laugh, on a day when I’ve had very little to laugh about. Thanks, fuggirls.

  25. Laucie

    He looks like he escaped from a mining camp in1849. A nice collared (and colored) shirt and no stupid hat, and we’d mostly forgive the beard.

  26. Miss Louise

    The grandpa shirt under the coat is bad. But he still has the Jude face, which is nice enough to pull off a trim beard. It’s true he can no longer be cast as Dorian Gray (still can’t believe nobody grabbed him for that role when he was younger), but he’s still a fine looking man. My main problem with this look is that it’s vaguely Sting-like, and that to me is no-go.

    And please, nobody make Dorian Gray portrait comments. He’s not that far gone.

  27. ChaChaHeels

    It’s not the beard, although the beard isn’t helping. It’s the obvious “Jesus Christ, I’m bald!” hat–indoors, to add insult–that signifies he’s trying hard to look ugly.

  28. Deb Chasteen

    Michael Stipe should not be one’s fashion or grooming model.

  29. witjunkie

    I have no problem with beards in principle. Some faces need a beard, or a goatee or something; it adds. I’ve seen other pics of him with the beard where I thought he looked quite dashing, but it was groomed a little tighter; maybe he’s let it grow out too much.

    Same with hats…I just think here it’s an unfortunate combination. But it isn’t terrible. OK, he should have put a proper shirt on over the unionsuit. But, I’ve seen worse.

  30. Jessica

    Amish wannabe!

  31. T-Bird

    I’d still hit that.

  32. clarke

    He looks fine, jeez, I don’t under stand all the beard fuss but even less the hat, IT COMES OFF PEOPLE, the rest? perfectly ordinary, well fitting, most dudes would wear it. At least the ones who aren’t overly sartorially fussy.

  33. Emily

    He’s still pretty. Obvs he looks nutty here, but he’s still so, so pretty.

  34. Mongerel

    Count me with the beard haters. To me they look muslim or merkin.

  35. Cait

    I think he looks great. The beard seems well-trimmed, he’s wearing nice clothes, nothing looks like it’s been dipped in grease, and look at his pretty, pretty face. Smiley! I approve, Mr. Law. Come here to me.

  36. Blue Buddha

    I’ve never been an über fan on the Jude Law train, but I don’t see the issue. The beard is neat and trim (also my husband is similarly bearded so maybe I’m biased), he looks fit and healthy. In fact, it’s all kind of cute I’d say.

  37. silly philly

    Lose the hate, change the shirt (T or collared, please), keep the beard….mmmmm, tasty!

  38. silly philly

    sigh… Lose the hat (curse you, silent E)

  39. Sarie

    I don’t get all the “it comes off” comments. So do all the ugly clothes that people wear on this site. That’s the entire point. They put on something ridiculous. Of course they can take it off but for the time being they look stupid.

  40. maggie

    Oh, Jude. (Why does facial hair make people’s lips look so weird?) And what on earth is that shirt?

  41. Jules

    I saw this yesterday and read the comments and decided it was gross.
    In a natural way.
    Like when you have a zit.
    I accidentally saw it again today, and it was like “we need to see a doctor and have something done about this ASAP”

  42. MelissaW

    Beard=hot.

    Hat=not a good combo with the beard. Srsly…what is the need for a hat on a talk show?

  43. Kate

    I read the title of this as “Fugging Holmes” before seeing the photo and for some reason just thought you were complaining about Katie

  44. nmlhats

    Jude Law was on Letterman last week–IN A KNITTED “BURGLAR” CAP–and I was aghast. Then he xplained. He is working on a film where his head has been shaved halfway back or something crazy-awful, and he does not want to be seen in public with it except in said film, whatever it may be. Maybe the beard is also part of his costume requirements.

    Anyway, I gave him a pass on all the lame hats because of the horror that apparently lurks below. But still, could he not find a few nice hats that a) look better with his clothes; b) look better on him, and c) FIT HIM properly?

  45. Patrick

    I’d venture he’s had hair transplants and is hiding the evidence. Seriously. The man hasn’t been seen without something covering his head in some time.

  46. kdub

    He recently said that his hair (and I presume beard) are for a movie role he’s currently filming and because his haircut is hideous, he’s wearing hats to cover it up (and probably to keep more mum on what movie/role he’s in).
