You Don't Know What Shakespeare Looks Like [Shorts]

[DLF-xqlq]

Freak that last critic. LOL. Shakespeare looks like a normal person in his memorial. Did that critic want him to look like a fashion model?

[JazzyWaffles]

I am now 100% convinced that Shakespeare definitely looked like a self-satisfied pork butcher, and Shakespeare would probably find it funny.

[ricardoyzcoa]

Well he was a writer, not a top model

[zigzaghyena]

I feel like he had one of those big laughs, y'know the kind that fills the room? Makes it all warm? He's that kind of guy.

[umarahmed]

"Self satisfied pork butcher?!" said Shakespeare to himself. "I must work that into my next play."

[Noobixm]

“Self-satisfied pork butcher” definitely sounds like something Shakespeare himself would write.

[glowstickofdestiny]

Refusing to accept that a long-dead important historical figure wasn't conventionally attractive is a very specific sort of petty

[alcarbo]

Those all look like 3 portraits of the same man, which leads me to believe that’s really what he looked like

[johnecoapollo]

Look, if I had written the bangers that Shakespeare wrote, I would look extremely self-satisfied. I think it's accurate.

[dhinkakmed]

We seem to know a few things for certain just based on all 3 pictures.
He was bald on top, hair on sides, mustache, and goatee.

[zubetp]

to be fair, i feel like he would think it was extremely funny that someone angrily called his portrait "self satisfied pork butcher." he would make a sex joke about butchering someone's self satisfied pork.

The problem with the second image is its also done by a guy who was kinda infamous for just drawing the same face on a bunch of different heads.

[brettabraham]

I actually love the last one. He's a but chubbs but he also looks like an actual person who spent a huge portion of his life sitting at a desk writing (and then presumably eating a lot once he became successful)

[bondj]

They all look fine to me, they all look close enough to each other so it doesn't really mater in the long run.

[TheSilliestBilliest]

I know what shakespear looks like. 💀🦴🦴

[hassansci]

"Self-satisfied pork butcher" is very classist

[AnEntityBrowsingYT]

self-satisfied pork butcher. how many lifetimes could one go without hearing this 😂

[dhehbdh]

No but why is the “self satisfied pork butcher” description spot on 😭

[nnh]

I love that he looks like an average person in those depictions. I love the idea that all of those incredible concepts and plots and words came from someone outwardly unremarkable, and that his work is still great hundreds of years on and no one gives that much of a flying fart what he looked like.

Love the pork butcher portrait though. Feels way more realistic and is the only one with a verified stamp of approval from someone that knew him.
