Which do you like better? Max with or without a beard?


As we are coming up to Season 9 on Thursday, Max will have shaved his beard! I prefer him without,but I LOVE him either way! He's a GORGEOUS man! But I prefer clean shaven on him! What do you all think?

I love him both ways. 😍

He just can't go wrong!

Thanks for your reply! I think he looks more youthful without the beard. Seeing him in other roles clean shaven where he looked and acted really hot I really came to love him better without the beard. And he has a great smile and beautiful lips that of course you can't see as much with the beard! Also his hair looked great in Season 9 too!

Max's hair is his crowning glory! 😍

Yes! Beautiful hair. But this man is still great looking even without that beautiful Mane of hair! In the movie Boys in Company C he started out with beautiful long hair. Longer and curlier than Max's, because it was supposed to take place in the Vietnam era.I'm thinking the curly hair was his natural, not blow dried hair! It was gorgeous ,than when he got drafted,they shaved it! He was STILL Gorgeous even with a crew cut, REALLY showed his cute face! Made him look really young!! Than as the movie progressed it grew out a little, but still was really short! He was SO HOT in this movie.Long hair Or short hair,he's fine!!

It would be kind of interesting seeing him with a beard with real short hair! I never saw him like that before!

My GOD!!!! I don't think I am going to get through Season 9 without having a heart attack!!! He is SO FINE!!! SO HOT!!! It's like every time I watch season 9 he gets hotter and more sexy!!!!

He looked amazing in the early episodes with a beard and brown hair. In later episodes he shaved it and they dyed his hair black for some reason. Made him look like a young Henry Winkler and less appealing.

I'm a sucker for beard...so....

No! His hair was never brown! It's always been black, all his life! I've seen him in acting rolls since the early 70's and his hair was always black. It was the same color in the seasons on ODAAT that he had a beard on ODAAT and the last season that he didn't! The style was a little different in the last season, but the color has always been the same!

Believe me! I consider myself a Michael Lembeck expert! LOL! I'm his biggest fan!

reply

Yes, I agree with you, its always been black hair. 😀

His beard was much lighter colored than the hair on his head! Maybe that is what you are thinking of? Also depending on what hair products a person uses can make their hair look darker.Maybe whatever he was using in Season 9 on his hair made it appear that way! The 80's was the era for girls AND guys to use LOTS of hair spray,mousse and gel! I had my natural color brown hair back than and I had perms and all the hair products I used made mine appear darker than it was!

But again , like I said before he's always had very beautiful dark, almost black hair! Just like his Father! Google some pics of him from when he was younger. And now of course he is a Silver Fox, his beautiful dark hair is a beautiful silver grey now!

Thanks for your response!

I just re watched a great movie he was in from 1988, "Side by side" ,he played Milton Berle's son! He was 39-40 years already! Still gorgeous! Like fine wine ,he aged really well! He was clean shaven and his hair style was SO BEAUTIFUL!! He played an artist type, a sculptor and wore an earring ! VERY HOT!!!

And well as you know I like him better beardless! But I love him with a beard too!

Oh you will love it! Besides Milton Berle, Sid Caesar , Danny Thomas and Morey Amsterdam are in it! Old legendary comedic actors! It's a very sweet and funny movie! A story of older men who are best friends, ( Milton,Sid and Danny) being forced into retirement, and they decide to start a business themselves!

And Michael Lembeck as I said is GORGEOUS in this movie! He plays a really cool role too! I recommend you check it out, it really is good! Very heartwarming and fun! Michael doesn't come into the movie till about 30- 35 minutes into the film ,and I still like it! Even better once he shows up though!

Also Richard Kline (Larry from Three's company) is in it!
