Moustaches are definitely in style right now, but for some, they’ve always been the perfect accessory. The manliest Hollywood moustaches can be found in any decade, and the manliest of all time are compiled right here.
10. Jeff Bridges
Jeff Bridges is a manly man all on his own, but add some facial hair, and he’s even manlier. He’s got that grizzled look that men aim for, and his salt-and-pepper moustache just adds to it.
9. Danny Trejo
Trejo’s villainous moustache is iconic and a little frightening. (Just ask the Atlanta barber that he once asked to trim it!) Though his moustache is a little less unruly than some on this list, one look at Trejo and anybody can see his moustache is manlier than most.
8. Sean Connery
Sean Connery’s moustache perfectly accents his face. He’s a distinguished older man, with a moustache that intimidates and seduces all at once.
7. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell)
Ron Burgundy inspired many to emulate his manliness by growing a similarly manly moustache. He may make you laugh, but his moustache is no joke.
6. Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson is everybody’s favorite manly man. This libertarian is known for his thick moustache. When shaved off, Nick Offerman is unrecognizable. In this case, the moustache makes the man, and what a man it makes.
5. Wyatt Earp
Wyatt Earp himself was never in a film, but he inspired many characters, each with a manly moustache. It helps that Earp was a cowboy in the Wild West, but his thick bushy moustache is what really made him a man.
4. Wilford Brimley
Known best among the young for his diabetes commercials, Wilford Brimley is nonetheless of Hollywood. His moustache may be white, but it’s no less manly. His thick moustache would belong on a caricature; the fact that it’s real certainly raises the expectation for manly moustaches.
3. Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds has had many different kinds of moustaches, each of them manlier than the last. Reynold’s thick facial fur is perfectly representative of what a red blooded American man should look like.
2. Borat (Sacha Cohen)
Borat jokes about the hairiness of himself and his fellow countrymen frequently, and that’s never more obvious than in his bristly, thick moustache. Borat traveled all over America for his mockumentary. I wonder if he stopped by a barber for a touch-up?
1. Tom Selleck
Tom Selleck’s thick brown Magnum P.I moustache is iconic. He’s maintained his moustache throughout time, putting all others to shame.
A moustache can turn a soft face into a hard one, delicate features into distinguished ones. Moustaches turn boys into men. These Hollywood gents have gained fame and prestige for their magnificent moustaches, and for good reason: moustaches rule.
