The first dad of New Zealand, Clarke Gayford, has come out this week sporting an incredible beard.

Taking to Twitter, Clarke wanted to clear the air about the reason behind his new look.

“I'm not immune to the chatter and I feel I need to front foot the fact that yes; I've grown a beard, to fit in, in Wellington. Feel free to drop pin me good craft beer locations, I want the whole experience.”

Good on you Clarke! We hope you start rocking the dad bod too.
