For leading men in the world of Hollywood, showbiz, and TV, a killer moustache can complete a famous look and make it truly iconic. Would Friends be the same if Richard Burke hadn’t been blessed with Tom Selleck’s iconic nose neighbour? Would Ned Flanders be the same without his? Charlie Chaplin had a career that lasted 75 years but his most famous looks come from his black tash era. Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Borat inspired Halloween costumes for decades. And the joy of having one isn’t just limited to film and TV either, with rockstars like Freddie Mercury, wrestlers like…
