During the same trip when Jase was halted by security while they sifted through his beard, an excited fan stopped him for an autograph. Of course, Jase obliged the fan, and he struck up some small talk with him while he signed his name. As it turns out, the kid wasn’t exactly a fan of Jase’s at all, nor did he have any clue what “Duck Dynasty” was all about.
The “fan” actually thought that Jase was the actor who played the caveman in the old Geico commercials. In his defense, they both really do have similarly colored fuzz! Was this mix-up enough to make Jase pick up the trimmers already?
Say Goodbye to the Beard
When the time started approaching for him to take his seat in the barber’s chair, Jase began to get nervous. Sure, the reason behind why he was going to lose the beard was very close to his heart, but that didn’t mean he was ready to lose his character just yet. After all, that beard had become a part of him for several years, and losing it meant saying goodbye to a big piece of his past.
Plus, as a professional duck hunter, those kinds of beards are pretty much standard. But Jase had already made the commitment, and the donations were getting close to reaching the magic number. It was almost time for him to say goodbye to the beard.
Call Security
With people's notions and biases around beards, you can imagine the first-impression issues that someone like Jase can face. Jase’s beard may have earned him all kinds of recognition, but it also set him back a few times. One time when the family was traveling through an airport, Jase was stopped for additional security measures.
Why? TSA had to thoroughly search through the facial fuzz to make sure he wasn’t stashing anything illegal in all of that hair. Of course, that search took place right in the middle of duck hunting season when his beard was at its longest and fluffiest.
10 Million Dollar Strands
Not just everyone who sports a crazy beard like the Robertson boys also have a bank account that could put most people's accounts to shame. But this duck-hunting reality star has stacked himself up with a net worth of over $10 million over the years.
He’s still at it today, too, making various appearances on different shows and at events around the country. The guy also has a podcast with his old man Phil, titled "Unashamed with Phil & Jase Robertson" and it has been running for six seasons and counting. In the podcast, the father-son duo discusses matters of Christianity for their religious fans and followers.
Jase Today
In 2017, the Robertson family saw the end of their reality show, which marked the end of an Era for Jase and the rest of the clan. But he wasn’t ready to retire just yet. Jase has kept himself fairly busy with television and radio appearances. A large portion of the appearances that he makes are at religious (Christian) events.
He also launched his own website, Camoflix, which is a haven for hunters and other outdoorsy types. But the end of the show also meant that it was time for Jase to let go of his beard and letting go of the beard meant making a lot of money for Mia Moo.
