After months of being photoshopped into everything from a hot girl to a coquette, notable Romanian prisoner Andrew Tate has seemingly taken matters into his own hands, appearing to terribly photoshop his prison beard.


Shortly after his release from prison on Friday, March 31, Tate took a break from his newly-packed schedule of staring at the walls, pacing back and forth, and doing whatever the fuck it is you do while on house arrest amid your human trafficking investigation to take to Twitter with a series of deranged pseudo-inspirational posts.



“I prepare my body to absorb the brutal kinetics of piercing lead,” Tate wrote in a message to his 5.8 million followers, inexplicably accompanying the post with a shirtless snap.


“As all other silencing attempts fail, and stage 3 approaches - I anticipate a bullet will be the chosen utensil of pacification,” he continued. “I can only pray and prepare. I will force myself to breathe the best I can. I promise.”


Alongside the sheer cartoon villain of his sentiments – “All you gotta do is type like an anime character and people will follow whatever you say,” mused Twitter user @PatrickRobbyW in a quote tweet – Tate’s janky ass prison beard emerged as the center of several replies.



“WAIT DID ANDREW TATE GROW A BEARD I DIDNT EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM,” wrote Twitter user @stanninghyunjin. “HELP HAHAHAHAHA HE'S SO FUGLY.”


“Every time I see Andrew Tate do that psychotic walk with his scary beard I lose years off my life,” wrote @cora_exitcircle in context with another video he uploaded depicting him pacing throughout his home. “stop showing it to me”


Meanwhile, speculation on whether Tate’s beard was even real began cropping up in both the former kickboxer’s replies and throughout the platform. While some explicitly hinted at a Photoshop fail –“Zoom into his beard,” wrote @SpursyStats, seemingly referencing a few patches of pixelated weirdness – others began debating how, exactly, Tate’s hair could grow in such a manner.



“Ok, honestly I’ve one question about Andrew Tate. How Tf the beard grew that long but his body hair is 0?” wrote @divinkeff. “Tate can’t grow body hair?”


And that's the million-dollar question.
