Has Hollywood revived moustaches? From Top Gun’s Miles Teller to Chris Evans in The Gray Man and Jason Sudeikis’ Ted Lasso, they are everywhere
- Love them or hate them, moustaches are making a comeback – though fans would say they never went away – as film characters and sportsmen rock the facial hair
- Chris Evans in The Gray Man, Miles Teller in Top Gun, NFL star Travis Kelce and Australian golfer Cameron Smith all have them
There are myriad ways to style a moustache and almost as many nicknames for the top lip companion, but there is only one question that matters: are moustaches back in fashion?
Gone are the days when many a Hollywood leading man, from Errol Flynn and Clark Gable to Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck, adorned their upper lip with one.
So has the moustache been confined to the role of ironic punchline, best suited to hipsters, live-action role players and those who compete in beard and moustache championships?
Well, no. Whether moustaches ever went out of style – and fans of the controversial facial hair would argue they did not – the muzzy is having a moment. In July men’s fashion site Gear Patrol declared in a headline that “The Mustache Is Back”.
Google searches for moustaches are trending, and there has been a rise in views on YouTube of grooming videos and barbers.
