From Frida Kahlo to Borat: 13 legendary mustaches of all time

Many historical figures have permanently fixed their unique image in our minds, which has not changed for decades. And one of the most key elements of their appearance was the mustache.

At first glance, it may seem that this facial attribute does not play any role at all, but if we were to imagine Salvador Dali or Charlie Chaplin without a mustache now, then we would simply not succeed. And Frida Kahlo wouldn't be Frida Kahlo at all if her face wasn't decorated with such elegant vegetation.

In this collection you will find the most legendary mustache of all time, which is likely to inspire you to grow your own.

Emiliano Zapata

The leader of the Mexican revolution at the beginning of the last century, Emiliano Zapata, was remembered not only for his heroic biography, but also for his magnificent mustache, which frightened enemies and aroused respect from allies.

It is said that he is the author of the phrase "It is better to die standing than kneeling," and Zapata heroically declared: "Ignorance and obscurantism have never created anything but crowds of slaves for tyranny."

Salvador Dali

The moustache of the great artist Salvador Dali was no less surreal than all his work. This is quite legitimately evidenced by this gif.

Frida Kahlo

When you think about the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, her unusual image immediately pops up in your head — thick eyebrows and an inconspicuous mustache that suited her very well. Frida was a very freedom-loving and independent woman, so she went against the established stereotypes about how a girl should look and dress.

Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin had a so—called brush mustache - a popular kind of mustache in the first half of the last century. Then they were worn by the military, politicians and ordinary citizens because they did not require special care. However, the popularity of the brush moustache began to fade after the Second World War, as they were worn by Adolf Hitler, with whom few people wanted to associate themselves.

Albert Einstein

Old Albert Einstein was too busy studying space and time to keep track of how his hair looked on his head and face. Therefore, subsequently, his magnificent mustache became canonical for all thoughtful scientists.

Friedrich Nietzsche

A lover of speculating on the subject of superman and wrapping himself in his mustache, Friedrich Nietzsche could not ignore the ‘njn list. Today, few people will grow such facial hair.

Mark Twain

The great writer Mark Twain also liked to ponder in his moustache while smoking a juicy pipe.

John Waters

American director John Waters also gained fame thanks to his trademark thin mustache, which gave his face a very special expression.

Groucho Marx

The American comedian Groucho Marx created an absolutely unique stage image, thanks to which he went down in history as the owner of a very strange painted (yes!) mustache.

Tom Selleck

Actor Tom Selleck is the same American private detective from the 1980s, who could be recognized by his bushy mustache.

Borat

Sasha Baron Cohen and his legendary image of Borat would be nothing without a magnificent "Kazakh" mustache.

Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy's mustache is so important for the actor's holistic image that it would simply be impossible to imagine him without them. Well, how is it?

Prince

American singer Prince was also known for his inimitable refined mustache, which was somewhat similar to the vegetation of John Waters.
