According to the German media "Bild", recently, Kimmich, Gnabry and Neuer each posted three photos of themselves with beards on Instagram. The photos were generated using Google's AI assistant Gemini to draw attention to an important topic.

Kimmich, Gnabry and Neuer have partnered with Google to participate in a challenge called "Gen_a_MO" to support the "Movember" (beard month) movement, which aims to raise awareness of men's health. The name "Movember" combines the words "Moustache" (beard) and "November" (November).

Kimmich and others uploaded a portrait of themselves and added beards through the AI ​​assistant. For every photo generated, Google will donate €12 to the Movember Foundation.

Kimmich also showed off more styles of beards, including a thick Viking beard and a curly beard similar to that of Spanish painter Salvador Dali. He asked his 8.4 million followers on Instagram to vote on the beard style that suits him best. The results showed that the classic beard was the most popular, but Kimmich commented that it was "boring".

Since its establishment in 2003, the Movember Foundation has promoted men's health issues globally every November and has funded more than 1,250 projects, paying special attention to diseases such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

In addition to current Bayern players, club legend Thomas Muller also participated in this event. He has been with the Vancouver Whitecaps of the MLS since this summer.
