Forgive me if I'm being crude ....
I'm just curious to know if the actor grew the beard or wore a wig-beard. Whatever the case, the hair ... there ... looks like pubes. I hope that's not just my disgusting mind talking.
Thus, I have dubbed him the nickname Pube-face. ;D
I'm sick.

XD An interesting nickname.
Hmmm, I'm not sure about whether Paul Curran grew a beard for the role or not. It might say on the director's commentary, but I don't have that copy of the DVD up here at uni. Although, saying that, Merlin was filmed over 6 weeks, right? And I'm pretty sure they would have filmed in order of location, rather than scene, and I think Arthur was both with and without his beard in various indoor/outdoor scenes, so I doubt he would have time to grow it, shave it and regrow it for every neccessary scene. From what I remember of the commentary on the DVD, the beard was one of the devices to attempt to make sure that Paul Curran looked older than Jason Done in their scenes together.

If I was a bit more motivated, I could check out the director's cut, but...for Arthur's beard? I'm feeling very unmotivated indeed.  |

LOL! Fair point, facial hair is perhaps inadequate reasoning. But the commentary is reasonably interesting, nontheless.

It's got to be a fake, since having a beard is a one-way ticket to awesometown. It's proven by Science! that beards turn the wimpiest of men into bad-asses. If it were real, no actor could have portrayed Arthur as such a wuss.  |

I didn't read the whole thread but anyways, here is my opinion:
It looks like they pulled a red woolen sock over his head and cut out holes for his eyes, mouth etc.
*nods*

This is, quite possibly, the most hilarious thread ever created.
Anyway, I vote fake!

For the actors sake, yes, I too, hope the beard is fake. (oh, a little rhyme!)
