People of the internet are loving Barack Obama’s fake beard (Picture: Twitter)

Twitter users have decided that Barack Obama should grow a beard, as a fake picture of him goes viral.

The Shade Room has shared snaps of bearded celebrities, including rapper Jay Z and ‘hot felon’-turned-model Jeremy Meeks.

But it was the former president, 56, who wowed the internet most of all with his photoshopped salt and pepper hair growth.

Hel-lo, Mr President!


One user wrote: ‘#ObamaBeard is my favorite #fakenews ever,’ with another one adding: ‘Wow… Looking good, Mr President.’

Gurl, yes! This beard is my favorite song! pic.twitter.com/XogVM1tH3Q — Midwest BSFA (@midwestbsfa) February 10, 2018

Someone give that photoshopper a Pulitzer #obamabeard #damn — Uroosa Jawed (@Uroosa) February 10, 2018

Another Twitter user was ready to start a petition, with one adding: ‘Nothing sexier than a man with a beard.’



A few people even believed that the photo was real, claiming Obama was ‘showing off’ for his wife Michelle.

But not everyone agreed on Obama’s potential new look.

This could be the biggest scandal since the tan suit. #ObamaBeard https://t.co/H2yiyvxFsJ — Jeri Yuttayong (@JeriY191) February 10, 2018

User Jeri Yuttayong was referring to the time Obama wore a beige-coloured suit to a press conference in 2014, with the people of Twitter calling it ‘un-presidential’ and the ‘ugliest suit in American history’.

But unfortunately, Obama told The Hill in a 2006 interview: ‘I can’t grow facial hair… I get whiskers.’

Boo.
