U have to be a true fan to understand what's going on here. It's not just a beard being cut. He's letting everything he lived for in this show go now. 😭😢

I've never been so invested in any tv characters before I watched this series. Really a great show and a great bunch of actors.

One of the best television shows ever made with a phenomenal group of actors. Opie's death was so painful to watch.

I'm positive Ryan's beard grew back the next day because of his manliness

This video shows that you guys really grew as a family. Thank you Kurt for giving us a 7 year masterpiece.

it appears to me that the cast of SOA grew to be a real family...love it..RIP Opie...I got this

It's amazing how different he looks with no beard.

I was sad at the beginning, but when Charlie, then Ryan, lost it... I got so emotional. And for the guy who called them a "pack of pussies", it takes a real man to be able to show that kind of emotion, especially in front of other men. It takes a coward to hide it and act like you feel nothing. This video made me love and respect these guys even more.

One chapter ends, another begins. Ryan Hurst is an extremely talented actor and it's always a surprise to see him in his next endeavor. Opie was one of many characters that was played to perfection.

Wow this made me cry....miss the brotherhood...thank you for posting this tribute to Opie...

1:52 breaks my heart every time.

It's been almost 8 years since the finale and it's still a show that sits in my heart to this day. I've watched it over and over and over... No other series has ever gotten me as emotionally invested as SOA. Salute, friends.

Just finished season 7, I can confidently say this was one of the top five greatest shows ever, it is right up there with breaking bad

I just binged-watched all 7 seasons, I cried so much when Opie left and watching this was so emotional too- seeing them all crying. This TV show broke my goddamn heart!!!!

REAL MEN CRY.

Currently re-watching for the 6th time... amazing show. Cant stop crying... i loved Opie.

It's kinda cool to see the OTHER side of the emotional rollercoaster for once. We all know that about 99% of people were pretty broken up about Opie being killed - and now we get to see Ryan show how he felt about the show and his character/co-workers. Nice video thanks for sharing it bruh.

Why does this make me feel so emotional even as a dude. Some manly tears for this shit.

man, that's more emotional than what happened oncreen

It is amazing the bond that developed and the friendships that came from the roles they played. Real life friendship carried through the fiction of the show and that is the most beautiful! As far as Ryan, buddy, you will always be Opie, you will always be loved as Opie. I know I sure miss you on the show and even though I rewatched each season over and over, I refuse to rewatch "Laying Pipe." I got this is all I need to know.

Ryan:"Hey Charlie, be careful with that sword man." Charlie:"I got this."

When I saw Ryan crying I couldn't stop myself from not crying... Ryan don't u dare to cry again :'( I just can't ok... I can't..!!!

More than a tv show

I cry at shows and my husband reminds me it's just a show but good cast and great writing makes it real for us viewers and knowing how close all these brothers were makes it even more real for people. Those are not fake tears in Charlie or Ryan's eyes and God love them for that bond❤️❤️❤️❤️

lol without his beard as remembered him as Gary the quarterback from his Remember the Titans days

I absolutelly agree. He was a right example of fighter. He was pushed on his knees so many times and he still could stand. Character with so much inspiration to fight again and again and never to give up. Jax is good but Opie was the best character there. Will miss him. Greetings from Slovakia, Ryan you were good.

So many years later and still so emotionally attached to this show. If I had to guess what Ryan looked like with no beard I would never have guessed this. He has a baby face :). What a talent.

Seen Charlie and Ryan talk about this a lot on various videos and I didn't think I'd get emotional, damn! One of my fav shows of all time! ❤️

Who is watching this in 2020?Just watched this show again.Will they ever tell the story of Jax Teller's sons?Miss this show so much.

I was fine...just fine... but then they all started crying and the song hit me right in the face and now I can't stop crying! :(

Haven't been this choked up watching something in a long time, marks the end of an era

Still a tear jerker in 2019. Yes I’m still watching in 2019! Who’s with me! 🙋‍♀️

I hardly get emotional but shit this made me cry

Wow, Opie literally looks like another person without his beard.

One of greatest series ever made. Love it. Somebody there in 2021 as well ?

probably the best TV character in the last twenty years. Ryan Hurst you did an amazing thing.

my fav tv show of all time no lie the best ever

I loved Opie... His friendship with Jax was so strong. His death truly broke my heart. Can't wait till season 7.

OMG I cried watching this! you can see they are all so close. Gonna miss you OPIE!!!

It's not until you watch this do you realize how much this show, these characters, this story, was such a part of them. And what an impact it made.

I completely forgot Opie was in Remember the Titans

doesn't matter how many times I watch this.. I 😭😭😭...

This was so genuine/wholesome. I shed a few tears and smiles watching this. Ty for posting, much love all.

after watching the series don't think a show has made me feel heavier than this one. there's so much heart, truly great show

I never watched the show but I know how social media blew up after the character opie was killed off, I did a little research. This video invokes so much emotion, even with me. I can't help but tear up watching this. I shall start the series

pardon me while I cry to myself

Awe.... so sad.. he looks so different without the beard... Opie :'( i cried so hard when he died on the show... serious sobs... it was bad lol... glad i was alone the first time i watched it... second time same thing just a little more controlled... this made me tear up too... they were so close like brothers... deep and real moment right there...

An incredibly fitting send off, for an exceptionally respected character brought to life by a charismatic actor. A death that still haunts me. Vale Opie ❤️

Great for the boys - nobody wanted to cry but in the end, they are all just livin' the moment

Crazy how different he looks without a beard.

Watch this all the time. Genuine and emotional. There’s no other show like SOA

Years later and its still makes me cry!

I cried so hard watching this video, I loved his character!

No beard = The titan I remember

Best show ever. The storyline, the actors, the camerashots, the music, it has it all. I need to re-watch it for a 4th time I guess, been too long

Love this show beyond words! So glad I found this! RIP OPIE

this was sad one for me the time this video came out my best freind passed away. he reminded me alot like opie character rip randy love u brother.. we will meet again one day

4:02 did Hunnam say "you look like a serial-killer (..nah you look alright man)"? Haha

Never seen this show before but I saw this video on the EW app. It has to be one of the most moving things I have ever watched. A truer sign of brotherhood i have never seen before.

It was amazing watching the emotion between these guys and even more so watching the beard disappear to reveal an actor that I remember from 'Remember The Titans'. Watched all the seasons and only discovered that from watching this video.

went to high school with this dude. even back then he was a fuckin INCREDIBLE actor. played Cyrano de Bergerac in a school play and absolutely killed it.

Song: Deer Tick - Goodbye, Dear Friend. Thank me later

Opie Winston, best male role in televion history. I think we all want a friend like Opie.. Ryan Hurst delivered this character outstanding, couldnt ask for a better performance Ryan cant wait to see you doing other ventures you have great talent

OMG I was bawlin' my eyes out watchin this I have been along for the ride since season 1 episode 1, definetely my favorite T,V. Series out there. I loved Opie so this was great I DO NoT want to see this series end!!!! I LOVE SOA thru and thru!!!!

Just like Benjamin Button's movie: Video starts with a man, and ends with a child

why am I crying so much

This cast of actors is so amazing to be able to bring such a range of emotions to so many people. I have never been as emotionally attached to fictional characters before. I cried for hours when Opie died and watching his funeral. Watching Jax and Gemma go through their changes and growth on the show is an inspiration. I will miss SOA terribly when it is over. But, like so many other fans, it will stay with me for years to come. Thank you to the cast and crew for all of your hard work in making this the BEST show ever!

I HATE that Opie is gone...and the scene where it happens was horrible to watch! I love this video, though. I watch it alot. I just love to see how close these men became while filming this show. I don't think I have ever been so obsessed with a TV show before!

REMEMBER THE TITANS....more like REMEMBER THE OPIE

The true meaning of what a real and true brotherhood are all about, I’ll forever love and miss this show and most Importantly the cast. #RIPSOA

I have never seen such a close bond between a group of actors for any show or movie I have ever known or heard of. They fucking really loved each other, cried whenever a member left. I remember seeing the end of the Bobby arc, and DL was properly sobbing as he said that Boone was one of the most amazing people he ever knew and how he had changed his life in so many great ways, tears falling all the time.

1:51 Charlie 😭

Op was the best!

Oh my goodness seeing Ryan and Charlie cry made me lose it! I was balling like a baby!!! So sad!! I'm so disappointed!

Seeing him just sitting there crying while they were cutting his beard was heart wrenching. Goodbye Opie.

wow, looks just like he did in Remember The Titans

He looks like a young Jeff bridges without his beard

Hell of a show had me in tears opie was one of my favorites caught me off guard the way he sacrificed himself to save his best friend

I remember when this first showed. I hadn't been watching the show then. I never had time. I have been binge watching it. I just saw his last scene. I have never had a show make me cry this hard. and it only gets worse. truly heartbreaking but the best show by far.

Why hasn't this show been nominated for an Emmy?

Ryan didn't even want out of the show.... I have a serious hate/love relationship with Kurt Sutter

Im a 50 yr old man, big SOA fan and this made me cry like a damn baby. Gonna miss Ope.

Ive watched this clip many times and i still cry. Miss u opie

What's the name of this song

with or without the beard, he's pretty sexy.

me and my friends have watched every episode of the show and we found a little bit of our selves in each character and we have a brotherhood like no other

An amazing show with an amazing cast. Excuse me while I go cry!

Powerful stuff. I just finished watching the show about 2 hours ago and have since been sat reading and watching various bits to do with the show. what a ride. such a great story and set of characters.

What makes this so amazing, the reason.. As someone who chose a similar lifestyle , finding something that shows the brotherhood we build willing to risk your freedom, your life, your sanity for a friend ,that show truly showcased the ups and downs of things we all face not only in the street life, but everyone is at risk of pure pain.. Seeing these boys bond over the rite reasons as brothers is why we smile at our own reasons why we chose the things we did. We all felt the pain at the loss of Opie, knowing we have all had an Opie in our life's we have had to painfully say goodbye to. For them to seal it up as they have together is just another reason why brotherhood over everything is why we stand beside our brothers as we do. Amazing moment to share with us, thank you for allowing us a part of yalls life's ❤❤❤❤ ANARCHY TIL THE DEATH OF ME

Dude my eyes honestly was watery watching this. Man you can feel the Brotherhood they have made.

I love this show. Laying pipe is still my most loved and hated episode. RIP Opie... Ryan, you are one hell of an actor, the show is not the same with out you. xoxo

after all these years it still makes me sob

Very well said... I cannot agree any more.. I found this show after getting hit on my motorcycle by an elderly driver.. It helped me get riding again - and it helped me in ways I can't explain here.. Just amazing.

You can't really see it in the youtube-version because it's to grainy, but the single tear that falls down Ryan's cheek while Jax starts cuting into his beard is possibly the sadest and most beautiful portion of this clip.

I know we all miss Opie; it's nice to see that the cast has grown in to a family and miss Ryan as much, if not more than we do!

True brotherhood when grown men are brought to tears in unison.

To witness such an moment is truly the highest of honors.

When Charlie and Ryan started to try.. I lost it... It's sad because they're all good friends even off the show and they didn't want to see him go. I know Ryan had a hard time letting go of the Opie character so this is what they did to help him. By cutting off his beard it was like a final farewell to him... Opie was my favorite character on the show and even inspired me to grow out my beard.. I will miss him... R.I.P. Opie... You died a warrior.

I cried. So much brotherhood not only on the show but behind the scenes. :(

I came to watch this after hearing Charlie and Ryan talk about it in an interview. Just to hear them describe the experience and symbolism behind cutting Opie's beard, adds that much more heartbreak to this
