Chris Evans's Beard: A Goodbye and a Tribute

Chris Evans had to part with something very near and dear to him this week — his beard. On Monday, the actor tweeted a heartfelt message to his facial hair, writing, "Dear beard, We had a good run, but this is where I leave you. Thank you for braving the Boston winter with me. I miss you already #Cap3Begins." Fans tweeted their mixed reactions, including "Yay!! :)" and "IM CRYING" and "WAIT CHRIS NO." So many feelings.
