Will Alan Robertson grow a beard?

Duck Dynasty’s men are well known for their growing long, bushy beards, except one of them – new cast member and eldest son Alan Robertson.

Alan Robertson, 47, is a former minister who left his church to join Duck Dynasty in Season 4.

However, don’t expect him to follow that last tradition.

“I don’t want to get stuck with that look, I mean, are you kidding me?” the clean-shaven Alan Robertson said in an interview on The 700 Club.

Alan Robertson’s wife, Lisa, concurs with his feelings: “You know, when there’s things crawling out of your beard or whenever you’ve got food left from lunch or dinner, I don’t know, that just kind of grosses me out.”

He also opened up about his past, before he was a deeply faithful pastor. In fact, he was quite the wild child in his teen days.

“My high school years were just terrible and it was all a secret life – running around and drinking and cutting up,” Alan Robertson admitted.

After graduating from high school, things spiraled even more out of control when Alan Robertson moved to New Orleans. But after a year, he realized he needed to shape up – and returned home to the loving embrace of parents Phil and Kay Robertson. He recommitted to his faith and Phil Robertson baptized him in the river behind their house.

Alan and Lisa Robertson stayed out of the Duck Dynasty spotlight before because of his ministry, but now they hope to bring their faith and values to the show’s millions of viewers.

“I really feel like God had prepared us for such a moment as this and when America needs some family to say, <<Hey, we can make mistakes, you know. We can come from nothing. We can have all these things now>>,” he said.

“Ultimately none of it matters except that we’re saved and we’re gonna be in heaven forever with Christ.”

Duck Dynasty airs Wednesdays at 10 PM on A&E.
