Brit - Orlando Bloom and Aussie - Heath Ledger, are both starring in The Kelly Gang, a film about the legendary Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. And, although, the Brad Pitt-style shaggy facial hair they have grown for the flick is historically accurate, Hollywood bosses are terrified their new beards will jeapordise the pair's sex appeal with female film fans.

After much negotiation, Bloom and Ledger agreed to trim down to a trendy stubble-look, but it was too late - too many scenes had been shot to start again.
