David Bromstad Used To Look Wildly Different Without His Famous Mustache

Years prior to his breakthrough on television and even in the early years of his HGTV career, David Bromstad’s signature look did not feature his goatee. Instead, Bromstad rocked a hairless look that made him appear younger than his age.

When Bromstad was a teen, he didn’t have any sort of facial hair. In a throwback post, the HGTV star shared a photo of himself without his goatee that made him look super young. He had captioned the image, “#tbt only 19, my first years in the gym and no wrinkles LOL! To be young again.” There were no wrinkles and no facial hair in sight as he rocked a baby face in the photo that would ultimately last years.

In 2017, decades after his throwback photo, Bromstad shared another bare-faced look as he was all smiles on a trip to Mexico. Although the photo was taken years after his old post, you honestly wouldn’t be able to tell because the “My Lottery Dream Home” star could have passed for a guy in his 20s even though he was actually in his 40s. Facial hair can drastically change one’s appearance, and without it, Bromstad transforms into someone who looks half their age — and maybe even younger.
