Zayn Malik has shaved off his beard and he looks like a different guy entirely

You missed a bit mate...

Is the whole beard thing now officially over?

Will guys henceforth be shaving thick layers of fuzz off their faces in droves?

If anything is a sign of things to come, then former One Direction Zayn Malik shearing his beard off to reveal his boyish good looks once again might be it.

The ex-boyband member has almost become known for his resplendent facial hair in its many incarnations and lengths.

The Colin Farrell…

But Zayn has finally gone and parted company with every last bit of hair and stubble on his chin (yes, he’s missed a wee bit) and he looks like a completely different bloke.

The photo he posted on Instagram to show his newly denuded face clocked up a crazy 1.6m likes.

But after shaving, he now only has little thicket of hair left under his bottom lip.

We guarantee the soul patch he is now rocking on his largely-naked face will become the de rigeur facial hair for any self respecting chap in winter.

Needless to say fans were taken aback by Zayn’s transformation…
