Say goodbye to Julian Edelman’s beard.
The Patriots wide receiver recently paid a visit to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in Los Angeles, where he was talked into ditching his bushy, mountain-man facial hair for charity. In the segment that airs Friday, host Ellen DeGeneres said she would donate $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Boston if Edelman would let her do the honors.
Though he’s certainly grown fond of his beard — “It’s like a child. It grows on you.” — Edelman not only agreed but also offered to match the donation. Electric razor in hand, DeGeneres proceeded to shave off the “nine months of hard work” in a makeshift barbershop on set.
