We're sure Bruno would have something to say about this beard.

But since he's not around, we'll take it upon ourselves to say that Sacha Baron Cohen's facial fur here — and the way it perfectly complements the hair on his head — is pretty insane in this first glimpse at the controversial comedian's character in "The Dictator."

Cohen's film is loosely based on the novel "Zabibah and the King," written by none other than Saddam Hussein — who probably wished he could have looked this awesome!

"The Dictator" takes over theaters next May.
