Eric Bana: Salt-and-Pepper Beard!

Eric Bana sports a little salt-and-pepper beard at the L’Oreal Paris 2008 AFI Awards at the Princess Theatre on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia.

The 40-year-old Aussie actor was accompanied by wife Rebecca Gleeson.

At the ceremony, the Australian Film Institute gave out awards to recognize excellence across the film and television industry, and to celebrate AFI’s 50th anniversary this year.

According to the Herald Sun, there was also a tribute to the late Heath Ledger from his family as they received the International Best Actor award on his behalf.

Heath won for his role as the Joker in the The Dark Knight and his sister, Kate, said: “It’s been without a doubt the most difficult year, losing such a loved family member. We are so proud of him and humbly accept this award on behalf of his beautiful daughter, who we will cherish forever.”
