ICYMI: MARSHALL’S MANLY NEW LOOK

Has facial hair ever gone viral before? Since Eminem showed up at the L.A. premiere of The Defiant Ones late last week sporting a beard and undyed brown hair, the reaction has been so intense and widespread that you might think he’d dropped a surprise new album. The photo above, posted on Marshall's Instagram by the man himself and bearing the caption, "Just a couple guys from Compton and one from Detroit. With a beard," has picked up a million-plus likes in four days. The meme below—one of a gazillion—might lead you to the same erroneous conclusion. Part of it is that America needs a new Eminem album. Hurry up, dude.

New Eminem single "Mocking Beard" coming soon 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/H1RWMzbrhP
