A game of Name that Mustache

1. NAME THAT MUSTACHE

2. SAM ELLIOT
This man popularized
the walrus mustache.
His characters are
often associated with
the “old and wise
cowboy” trope. Some of
his most famous films
include The Legacy
(1978), Conagher
(1991), and Did You
Hear About the
Morgans? (2009).

3. HULK HOGAN
Sporting the bold
horseshoe mustache,
this man is known
for being one of the
most popular
professional
wrestling stars of the
’80s.

4. CLARK GABLE
This prolific actor took
part in more than 60
movies throughout his
nearly four-decades-
long career. He starred
in movies such as
Gone with the Wind
(1939) and It Happened
One Night (1934). His
illustrious career and
pencil mustache made
the so-called “King of
Hollywood” hard to
miss!

5. BURT REYNOLDS
Tom Selleck himself drew
admiration from this
American pop culture icon of
the ’60s and ’70s, who had
roles in television series such
as Gunsmoke (1962–1965)
and Dan August (1970–1971)
and is most well-known for
his roles in the movies
Deliverance (1972) and
Smokey and the Bandit
(1977). His bushy mustache
and macho personality
captured the attention of
millions of viewers worldwide.

6. SALVADOR DALI
Born just after the turn of the
20th century, this Spanish
artist is well-known for his
absurdist and surrealist
artworks. The mustache fits
the absurdist style of the
artist—a mustache shaped
thin with pomade and angled
upward. One of his best-
known works, The Persistence
of Memory, also goes by the
name Melting Clocks.

7. MARK TWAIN
Sporting the walrus
mustache before Sam
Elliott made it cool, this
famous American writer is
best known for The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer
and Huckleberry Finn.

8. FREDDIE MERCURY
This Zanzibar-born singer-
songwriter is best known
for his promise to rock the
world with enticing
melodies and powerful
lyrics. Perhaps we could
name his iconic well-
groomed chevron mustache
the “Scaramouche-stache”?

9. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
This man was the 27th
president of the United
States from 1909 to 1913.
The handlebar mustache is
the second-most notable
attribute of the quite portly
president.

10. CHARLIE CHAPLIN
This famous comedian and
actor was active in the ’20s

toothbrush mustache. His
first sound film was the
1940 film The Great

satire of Adolf Hitler and
fascism at large.

11. ALBERT EINSTEIN
Possibly the most well-
known scientist of all time,
this German-born

chevron mustache was one
of his most notable
