Cape Town - It is a sad day for beard-lovers everywhere.

Joe Manganiello, who plays the mighty-fine werewolf Alcide in True Blood, has decided to say adios to the signature specimen that has graced his face since before we could remember.

In remembrance of the beard that ruled all beards, we take a look at its past glory.
