It’s Movember – the month formerly known as November and we know loads of you guys are growing your face fluff, all in the name of charity – and good on you!
So, in case you were getting a little weary of your facial fur and needed some encouragement, we thought we’d list some of the best moustaches of all time…
Freddie Mercury: The Queen frontman is the undisputed hairy king and an idol to moustache-wearers all around the world. His full handlebar model, which he first grew in 1980, perfectly framed his equally famous teeth.
Borat: Sacha Baron Cohen had one daddy of a ‘tache for his role as his Kazakh alter ego, Borat. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if it actually took leave of his face and walked away…
Tom Selleck: The US star is the unofficial poster boy for Movember, sporting possibly one of the sexiest moustaches to ever come out of the 1980s. If your dad had one, he was probably trying to emulate Tom.
Salvador Dali: Forever finding new ways to style his facial hair, the legendary surrealist ranks right up there for his commitment and artistry with a can of wax. He is a true moustache hero.
Hulk Hogan: Dying his face fur bleached blond has defined this star for years. Some women hate it; while others would love to get up close and erm, nuzzle into it (eww!). Either way, there’s never a hair out of place.
Johnny Depp: We can’t ever remember a time that the actor wasn’t sporting a moustache for one role or another, and he always looks good. Even when the beard in question had suspicious-looking dreadlocks and looked like it needed a wash in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Ned Flanders: Yes, we know he’s not real but The Simpsons Ned has his ‘tache nailed. He even has nicknames for it, including Nose Neighbour, Mr Tickles, the Soup Strainer and Dr Fuzzenstein. Inspired.
Charlie Chaplin: Famously known as the ‘toothbrush’ ‘tache, Chaplin believed it would add humour to his performances and “add age without hiding my expression”. Of course then Hitler came along and made it impossible for anyone to wear their ‘tache like this ever again.
George Clooney: George can do no wrong, lip warmer or no lip warmer. His teeny tiny ‘tache for O Brother, Where Art Thou? was one of the best.
Friedrich Nietzsche: Not getting too deep on you but this German philosopher’s moustache is awe-inspiring.
