So, what can this sizeable neckbeard reveal about the 'Don't Look Up' plot? Let's start with the plot-revealing facial hair that came before it ⬇️
This type of goatee is usually a signifier that his character's going to be dealing with some slightly nefarious underworld stuff. It says "I'm a bit of a naughty one," but the careful sculpting says, "I'll try not to let my naughtiness get out of hand" 
On the other hand, Leo's 'Body of Lies' goatee was meant to give him a bit of on-the-ground gravitas. It did, in a David Brent kind of way...
Tarantino wanted a campily evil vibe for Calvin Candie in 'Django', so a pointy chin beard was really the only way to go
Recently no beard at all has been a clear indicator that debauchery lies ahead
At the opposite end of the scale is the wild and phlegmy Big Acting Beard which finally got him an Oscar
But the facial hair in 'Don't Look Up' is not something we've seen before. Who is this man? Looking at it within the DiCaprio beard continuum, the scruffiness points to an angsty turn with subtle notes of saviour complex
Starring Cate Blanchett, Rob Morgan, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet, Kid Cudi and more, will 'Don't Look Up' be the film of the year?
