THIS MAN CAN HOLD OBJECTS WITH HIS BEARD (PHOTOS)

A man with a penchant for keeping objects in his beard has translated his talent into a hilarious picture series with the help of his photographer wife.
Los Angeles-based art director Pierce Thiot, 27, discovered his gift when his mother asked him to participate in a family talent show over the holidays, prompting him to stick a bunch of pencils in his beard 'to get some laughs'.



When his 'party trick' proved to be a success, he and his wife Stacy, 28, decided to start a blog called Will It Beard to see just how many different items his facial hair could hold.




In one of the photos, Mr Thiot manages to keep dozens of Q-tips in his beard, each of them poking out at all different angles.
Another shows his scruff carrying several Lego figurines including a chef, a panda bear and a policeman, which are all entangled in his facial hair.






The couple, who have an eight-month-old daughter named Adelaide, launched the blog as a way of collaborating on a project that merges their personal talents.
'[My wife] takes beautiful photos, and my beard can hold things,' Mr Thiot told Today.com, before conceding: 'Alright, we know who the talented one in the family is.'





Judging by the website, it seems there is no object that the father-of-one's beard isn't capable of holding.
In one picture, an array of cocktail parasols sticks out of his whiskers, making for a very colorful display.
And he proves just how confident in he is in the strength of his beard when he manages to cradle flaming matchsticks in its hairy nest.





In one of the photos, licorice candy hangs in red ropes from his bushy facial hair. In another, dozens of long, uncooked pasta noodles stick out from the hair on his chin.
And razor blades are tangled into his beard in a shot with a humorous and ironic tone, seemingly threatening to shave it off.
Even baby Adelaide makes a cameo in one of the images, gripping her father's hairy lower lip with her little hand.





Now that he and his wife have begun their unique project, they say they can't stop thinking of new objects to put in Mr Thiot's resilient facial hair.
And their 4,700 Instagram followers are constantly making suggestions as to new objects to experiment with.
As for upcoming projects, they have one particular item in mind. 'Glow sticks is a popular request right now,' explained Mr Thio.
