The actor shared a picture of himself on Instagram, giving the first look of him as Captain Blackbeard. He raised eyebrows when hosting the Sunday, June 8 ceremony of Tony Awards looking scruffy in the facial area. Turns out he has been keeping the mustache and beard long for the role. "Blackbeard is born," the 45-year-old actor captioned the photo.
