Ashton Kutcher's Mystical Hair Growth

The What Happens in Vegas star has been sporting some noticeable scruff on his usually clean-shaven face. However the hair growth not a fashion statement. Kutcher's reason for the bearded visage is in his religious beliefs.

According an In Touch insider, "He is growing it because of the Jewish and Kabbalah holiday called Lag Ba'Omer." Traditionally, men shave their beards after the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot, which on this year happened on May 23.

However, it looks as if Ashton decided to keep the beard. I'm not really sure what to say to that. I'm always at a loss as to what to think about people who believe in things.
