for those who have somehow managed not to hear of him billy connelly is a scottish comedian who can at times be very funny. perhaps more so when he started out but he still has his moments.
now for reasons best known to himself a few years ago he dyed his moustache and beard pink, now why do you think he did this? to look pretty, to be ironic, because he was bored, why?
if you a facially furred man would you ever dye it? why and if not why on earth not? everybody else how would you react if someone of your acquaintance did this?

jb you old blue bunny you good morning He probably did that to
get some extra laughs as it would look a tad silly I would think.
At dinner last night this mild- natured,sort of sweet- natured man came into dinner wearing of all things a kids pink bonnet that tied under the chin, we all went off in gales of laughter,then he took a bow and we just howled as he looked so funny. I would have laughed myself sick if my husband had dyed his beard and goatee that is for sure.

I think he probably did it for the same reason that I put colours in my hair... because he can!! I would be well impressed if a friend/relative of mine did that. My dad had a beard which he sprayed silver a few times and my mum let my son spray her white hair blue one Christmas. It you're gonna dye hair, why dye it a natural hair colour?

Hello Jb. :D
I have no moustache or beard, but I might consider spraying my hair pink. Why? Perhaps because I like the Pink Panther or pink in general. Maybe it would be a cry for attention or a form of rebellion. Or...
Maybe I just love variety!

Hello, Judith. I'm a great Billy Connelly fan, but I don't like the beard and the hair, and it's even worse when it's dyed a funny colour like pink. I suppose it was one of his outrageous moments. In my opinion, beards are best left on mussels - they don't do anything for humans, apart from make them look much older than they are.

Why would he do it? To get attention. Any attention is better than no attention.
How would I react? Well, it depends on the reason. Over here, people die their hair all sorts of colours to raise funds for the leukemia foundation, but I doubt if that was Billy Connelly's reason.
My man doesn't have facial hair so it isn't something I need to worry about, but I am conservative (old fashioned if you like) so I would not like it if he coloured his hair.
I'm sure Sean Connery wouldn't colour his hair!

"The Big Yin" Has always had this rebellious streak for Fashion and Facial Topiary throughout his career..Going back to his "Big Banana Feet" boots in the '70's,His Onstage suits and costumes,Tales of him Swapping trousers with somebody in the street as He liked the look of the Garment,Earrings,Tats..You Name it..Changing his 'tache colour was just another way for him to grow older disgracefully!

Because he's Billy Connolly, what more reason does the man need? 
As far as someone I know doing it.... it's just hair, it'll either grow out or you cut/shave it off and start over. So, you get some attention for a while? If you didn't want it, you wouldn't have dyed your beard and mustache pink in the first place.
