Twitter users have decided that Barack Obama should grow a beard, as a fake picture of him goes viral. The Shade Room has shared snaps of bearded celebrities, including rapper Jay Z and ‘hot felon’-turned-model Jeremy Meeks. But it was the former president, 56, who wowed the internet most of all with his photoshopped salt and pepper hair growth. Wow... Looking good, Mr President ☺
