RIP, Ben Affleck's Beard

    We hardly knew ye.

    Ben Affleck was spotted walking around Los Angeles yesterday missing something very special to us... HIS BEARD.

    It's okay to get emotional.

    You can let it out.

    It's upsetting, we know.

    Dry those eyes...

    ...because we're about to remember the good times we shared with Ben's beard during awards season!

    Like when he won this award.

    And the time that he held a box.

    There was that time when he was staring off into space while his beard kept his face warm.

    That time he posed with his SAG award.

    And the time he got coffee with a hand on his hip.

    That time he walked off his frustrations for being snubbed by the Oscars.

    And this time he was talking on stage for some reason or another. Mmm, beard.

    The time his beard smiled at a lady at a Farmer's Market.

    And this time — have mercy!

    Of course, there was the time he was talking with his hands like this.

    And the semi-unfortunate time he wore a hat and leather jacket.

    RIP, Ben Affleck's beard! It's been real.
