He insisted on keeping the goatee? Seems odd. If you're playing a character that doesn't shave for 70 days, you grow a beard. You're an actor. Period.
Compelling.Brilliant.Beautifully acted. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114436/
Oops, I just read that he did in fact refuse. He is such a huge raging p*ssy that I just assumed he couldn't grow one. In fact I'll bet he can't and his refusal was a cover. :P
"It was my serial shirtlessness..."
Seriously he refused?? What kind of crap is that? If you're going to make a movie with a story of this magnitude at least try to play the part. It's not like they were asking him to lose 40 pounds. It was a beard! Christian Bale shows way more devotion for a role than Hawke ever could.

He was probably embarressed he can't grow one so refused. If i was in charge i would have fired him for refusing to grow a beard.

Kinda made me lose some respect for him as an Actor...That's not taking his craft very seriously, and not shaving isn't even that big of a sacrafice.
The fact that this is a true story makes it even worse...
Sometimes having the right look is all you need for a casting call. I don't blame him one bit for keeping his appearance on screen, if that means landing a future gig or not.
