Famous moustaches ... and the most beautiful!
On the red carpets, beards and moustaches were in abundant supply. Big, small, discreet or imposing, each line of hair reflects the personality of its wearer. Because style is as important to us as grooming, Bonhomme is proud to present some of the most famous moustachioers, known for their hair styles that are sometimes original, if not quirky, or just plain hot.
The most artistic moustachio
Of all the possible moustaches - which we've listed in our moustache guide - we're particularly fond of Dali's style: baguette-shaped, raised in the air with wax, the artist almost becomes his own work of hair art. Although highly original, and despite special care, it's not yet certain that you, bearded friends, will be adopting this new style in the months to come.... Note that in 2010, the Dali style was voted the most beautiful of all time: we hesitated to stop our top!
The sex symbol
Have you ever seen New York - Miami ? This film introduces us to the character of Peter Warner, played by Clark Gable. In one scene, he removes one of his shirts - in the 1930s, Hollywood was still censoring his films - becoming a mustachioed icon of the first American sex symbol. As a result, Clark Gable's moustache became very popular, and is now known by the sexy name of "pencil mustache". You might as well know how to trim your moustache!
Although less worn, it will still have had its share of success, and perhaps it will return in years to come.... Like Jean Dujardin, who pays tribute to her in The Artist.
The voice that moved the world
If we're talking about forward-thrusting teeth, an extravagant, if not sometimes provocative, man, for a voice that has echoed in the world's greatest stadiums? You guessed it: the chevron style is best known for having been adopted by the Queen Freddie Mercury. Our verdict? It's a very special grooming style, requiring a great deal of charisma and personality! If you'd like to take the plunge yourself, here are all the tips you need to give your sub-nasal hair a boost, in our dedicated article.
Mustaches in film
Whether you like black-and-white films or not, like the barbers Bonhommeyou couldn't miss one of Charlie Chaplin's films. With his clown shoes, his catastrophic gait and his astonishing adventures, Charlie Chaplin always took with him his cane, his hat and... his moustache. Bearded men, learn that this one has been worn by Oliver Hardy or Robert Mugabe and that its shape is said to be toothbrush-shaped. How original!
The smartest
If we asked you to define quantum physics, you'd probably have a hard time. Yet it was no problem for Albert Einstein, who might not have been able to establish all his theories if he hadn't had his moustache to fiddle with. Our barbers can't tell you if it's a sign of intelligence... who knows?
Inglorious mustache
If we're thinking action film, bloodshed and oppressive suspense... We're not thinking of the season's latest horror film, but of Inglorious Basterds, and in particular Brad Pitt's moustache in it, which defended it in 2009, putting it at the top of the bill.
To conclude, if you're still hesitating to take the plunge, and you have a beard, try the mustache beard to make up your mind. In this article, we'll show you how easy it is to match your beard and moustache.
