The Men of Rivals Are Experimenting With Facial Hair

Season three of Rivals starts shooting in March 2027, and Aidan Turner clearly is taking that time off very seriously, tending to his facial garden and being rewarded by a robust bloom of a beard. I almost didn't recognize him under all that. It's so... Michael Sheen, except well-kept. Imagine Maud getting to rake her fingers through THAT foliage.

PS: If you're a Drinks With Broads paid subscriber, (a) thank you!! (b) Rivals coverage returns on Monday.
