Woody's beard

Was thinking this the other day after Lol and Kelly's visions/dreams of their dad. Would Woody really have grown a beard considering Lol's violent rapist father had one? Just a thought

That's a better reasoning than the 'no one had a beard in 1990' nonsense that I've read elsewhere.

To be fair, I was 21 in 1990 and if anyone I knew of a similar age had a beard like that at the time they would have looked a right prat. Beards weren't ten-a-penny on young men like they are now. Back then they were seen as very uncool. It was something your old man had, not one of your mates.

I don't think Woody cares what anyone thinks. Besides, he's a dad himself by 1990.

the beard, longish hair and baggy clothes is just him letting himself go a bit. how he looks on his wedding is the style he's going for. on a side note im 26 and i have a beard i think beards are class.

Yep. I'm sure Joe Gilgun said that too, that he's let himself go as a stay at home dad.

It's a strange nitpick in a series of strange nitpicks.

Well the Freud slant of your post is most interesting, but ultimately it was one hell of a scary beard!
