Notable moustaches[edit]
Individuals[edit]
The longest moustache measures 4.29 m (14 ft) and belongs to Ram Singh Chauhan (India). It was measured on the set of Lo Show dei Record in Rome, Italy, on 4 March 2010.[12]
In some cases, the moustach is so prominently identified with a single individual that it could identified him without any further identifying traits, as in the cases of Adolf Hitler[quantify] or Joseph Stalin. For example, Kaiser Wilhelm II's moustache, grossly exaggerated, featured prominently in Triple Entente propaganda. In other cases, such as those of Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx, the moustache in question was artificial for most of the wearer's life.
In art, entertainment, and media[edit]
Alias[edit]
- Moustache was the alias name of a French comic actor, François-Alexandre Galipedes (b. February 14, 1929 in Paris, France - d. March 25, 1987 in Arpajon, Essonne, France), known for his roles in Paris Blues (1961), How to Steal a Million (1966), and Zorro(1975)[13]
Fictional characters[edit]
- Moustaches have long been used by artists to make characters distinctive, as with Charlie Chan, the video game character Mario, Hercule Poirot, or Snidely Whiplash.
- At least one fictional moustache has been so notable that a whole style has been named after it: the Fu Manchu moustache.
- Moustaches feature prominently in the television series Orange is the New Black:
- Pablo Schreiber, who portrays Litchfield Prison guard George Mendez (referred to by the inmates as "Pornstache"), wears a glued-on chevron mustache, in seasons 1 and 2.[14] However, when seen in season 3, episode 10 ("A Tittin' and a Hairin'"), while incarcerated himself and being visited by his mother, Mendez is shown to no longer have a mustache.[15]
- In season 1, episode 8 ("Moscow Mule"), mustachioed assistant warden Joe Caputo (played by Joseph Salvatore),
- Season 2, episode 10 is titled "Little Mustachioed Shit".[18]
Literature[edit]
- In 1954, Salvador Dalí published a book dedicated solely to his moustache.[19]
Visual art[edit]
They have also been used to make a social or political point as with:
- Marcel Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q. (1919), a parody of the Mona Lisa which adds a goatee and moustache
- Frida Kahlo's moustachioed self-portraits
In the military[edit]
- The Rajputana Moustache, worn in India, is famous worldwide.[20] In the Indian Army, most senior rifle Rajputana regiment soldiers have moustaches,[21][22][23] and the Rajputana Moustache is a symbol of dignity, caste status, and the lion-like fighter spirit of Rajput soldiers.[24]
- Moustaches are also noted among U.S. Army armor and cavalry soldiers.[25]
In sport[edit]
- In the early 1970s, Major League Baseball players seldom wore facial hair. As detailed in the book Mustache Gang, Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley decided to hold a moustache-growing contest within his team. When the A's faced the Cincinnati Reds, whose team rules forbade facial hair,[citation needed] in the 1972 World Series, the series was dubbed by media as "the hairs vs. the squares".[citation needed]
- Swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals while sporting a moustache when swimmers usually shaved all their body hair to decrease drag. When other competitors questioned the moustache and the potential increased drag, he claimed that it helped create a pocket of air in which to breathe.[citation needed] Coincidently, the number of swimmers with moustaches rapidly rose following the 1972 Olympic Games.
- The Liverpool sides of the late 1970s to late 1980s were famously notable for numbers of moustachioed players, including Bruce Grobbelaar, Alan Kennedy, Mark Lawrenson, Terry McDermott, David McGurrin, Ian Rush, and Graeme Souness.
- Formula 1 champion Nigel Mansell groomed a moustache throughout his career in the 1980s and 90s. Mansell got rid of the moustache after retiring.
- For the 2008 Summer Olympics Croatia men's national water polo team grew moustaches in honor of coach Ratko Rudić.
- South African rugby union coach Peter De Villiers has a moustache and is derisively known as Piet Snor ("Peter Moustache"). In 2008, De Villiers was nicknamed "Twakkie" in a public competition held by the South African Sunday Times newspaper – in reference to a local fictional character with a similar moustache, from the SABC's The Most Amazing Show.[citation needed]
- During the 2012 London Olympic Games Chileans supporters painted moustaches on their skin as a sign of support of gymnast Tomás González.[26] A site called bigoteolimipico.com (olympicmoustache) was created to allow people create Twitter avatars and Facebook images with moustaches in support of Tomás González.[27][28]
- NHL player George Parros is well known for his moustache, of which fans can buy replicas of at the team store, with proceeds going to charity. Parros also has a line of apparel called "Stache Gear" that benefits The Garth Brooks Teammates For Kids Foundation.

The Walking Dead is an American horror drama television series developed by Frank Darabont, based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. Andrew Lincolnplays the show's lead character, sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes,[3] who awakens from a months-long coma to confront a new, apocalyptic world overrun by flesh-eating zombies.
Grimes reunites with his family and becomes the leader of a group he forms with some of the many other survivors whom he encounters in his quest for a safe haven. Together they are forced to survive in a world filled with zombies (aka walkers) and certain humans who are even more dangerous than the zombies themselves.[4] The first season takes place in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and the second through fourth seasons are set in the surrounding countryside of northern Georgia.
The Walking Dead premiered on October 31, 2010, on the cable television channel AMC in the United States.[5] The show debuted internationally during the first week of November 2010 on Fox International Channels.[6]AMC has renewed the series each year because of its consistently increasing Nielsen ratings, which have been unprecedentedly high for a cable series, including viewership of 17.3 million for its season five premiere, making it the most-watched drama series telecast in cable history.[7] The series completed airing its fifth season on March 29, 2015, and has been renewed for a sixth season.[8] In addition, AMC has ordered a companion series, Fear the Walking Dead, to debut in summer 2015.[9]
The series has been well received by critics[10][11] and has been nominated for several awards, including the Writers Guild of America Award for Television: New Series[12] and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama.[13]

Night of the Living Dead (a.k.a. Night of the Flesh Eaters; not to be confused with the 2008 movie Night of the Flesh Eaters directed and written by J.R. McGarrity) is a 1968 American independent zombie horror filmdirected by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea and Karl Hardman. It premiered on October 1, 1968, and was completed on a US$114,000 budget. The film became a financial success, grossing $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally. It has been a cult classic ever since. Night of the Living Dead was heavily criticized at its release for its explicit gore, but eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as a film deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."[2][3]
The story follows characters Ben (Duane Jones), Barbra (Judith O'Dea), and five others trapped in a rural farmhouse in Pennsylvania which is attacked by unnamed "living dead" monsters, drawing on earlier depictions in popular culture of zombies. Night of the Living Dead was the basis of five subsequent Living Dead films (1978–2010) also directed by Romero, and has inspired remakes.[3]
