Men have been wearing earrings since the dawn of time. But not that many years ago, a man wearing earrings was regarded in some societies as a sort of rebel. From accusations of being a criminal to being gay, earrings were seen as a sign of non-conformity, a challenge to the status quo.
While those times are gone in most of the Western world, earrings still give an edge to a man's looks. First adopted by rock and rap stars, earrings quickly moved on to pop, Hollywood, and sports.
From simple studs to crazy feathers, in this gallery we bring you a selection of famous men who adopted earrings as part of their image.
Many of these still wear earrings to this day, but you'll be surprised to learn which men used to wear them in the past! Click through the gallery to find out more.
