Cue the wide eyes emoji.

Joe Thornton and Brent Burns are featured on the cover of this year's ESPN Body Issue with slightly exaggerated beards and zero clothing.

Here's a brief look at the adjoining interview via ESPN's David Fleming:

What's the biggest problem you run into with those beards?

Burns: I've got eggs from last week in this thing. We oil it. We brush it out. But you try to eat one bowl of chili or something that can fall or drip and you're just screwed if it goes in there. Nothing's getting out.

Thornton: I like peanut butter and jam on toast in the morning, and that's the worst. If peanut butter gets in there, forget it. You got to eat the peanut butter first and then go take a shower. It's a whole lifestyle. The other big problem is milk for me. I like to eat cereal every night, and that can be a problem. I've got a little bit of gray coming down the middle, and I tell people it's because the milk is staining the beard, not my age.

Thornton and Burns have been longtime teammates in San Jose, but the former could be on the move as a pending unrestricted free agent.

They'll always share this cover, though.
