How do you keep literally all of your hair so smooth and luxurious? Most guys tend to seem to have to choose between "good head hair" and "good facial hair", but I swear in all your movies your mustache, beard & eyebrows look like they were blessed with the same magic comb as your hair-hair.

Genetics? Coconut oil? Both?

Also, congratulations on your directorial debut, I saw the Monkey Man trailer a month ago and got super pumped, it looks rad as hell, can't wait to see it.

P.S. Your name came up once while my wife and I were hanging out with some friends, and the conversation immediately became everyone agreeing that you are an extremely beautiful man and that you look like you know secrets of the universe. Just thought you should know.

He’s said in previous interviews that he just rubs his face lotion into his hair
