After displaying his new facial hair in a selfie, fans thought the former BBC Radio 1 host was unrecognizable.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Chris Moyles, 50, asked his followers on Instagram for their thoughts on his new look recently. He shared a photo of himself wearing a white t-shirt, a grey hat, and a pair of dark glasses just a few days ago.
The presenter, who previously worked for BBC Radio and has his own radio show on Radio X, has been growing his beard for a while. Teasing the new look, he wrote in the caption of his post: “So I grew a beard. Should I keep it”?
His post – which has 12, 000 likes – included a poll which has received more than 15, 000 responses on the platform so far. Fans have also voiced their opinions in the comments section, but the outcome has not yet been announced.
Some other famous people responded to Chris’ recent post with their responses. Jake Humphrey, a host of the podcast, said, “Thought I was following George Clooney for a moment on Instagram. Chris replied to the comment: “The camera never lies Jakes..”!
It’s a really good beard, said presenter Anthea Turner, “but it’s a really good one and beautifully groomed.” She added beside a thumbs up emoji in her comment: “A keeper from me]thumbs up]”. Chris said: “Why thank you”.
BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell teased in his response to the post recently: “Looking majestic like the master in the old Dr Who”. Chris – who’s had a ‘ body transformation ‘ in recent years – replied to Mike’s comment with a laughing emoji.
Fans also complimented the former I’m A Celebrity campmate in their responses, with one person commenting: “YES. Keep it. I love it”! Another said: “100% keep it until the better weather comes”. A third wrote in their reply to him: “Ooh you’ve trimmed it. Keep it”!
“There’s not many blokes that don’t look better with a beard”, another fan said. Someone else wrote: “Really suits you”. Sharing their thoughts on Chris ‘ latest look, one person said: “Yeah it looks cool”. Another said: “You look amazing. Really suits you sir, especially with the glasses. Definitely keep”. Someone said: “Keep it man! You look very distinguished”.
Some fans suggested that they hadn’t recognised Chris. One wrote: “Literally wouldn’t recognise you if you passed me in the street. No bad though”. Another said: “Didn’t recognise you”. A third wrote: “Honestly did NOT recognise you”!
The new look also drew comparisons to other celebrities, with one person saying that the beard gave “vibes” of football pundit Roy Keane. Chris was compared to reality TV star Wayne Lineker and presenter Jamie East.
However, not everyone enjoyed the facial. One person wrote: “No, sorry”. Another said: “For the love of god shave it off please”. Someone else wrote: “Prefer you without the beard”.
