Name That Mustache, featuring Burt Reynolds and others

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 and ’30s and had a toothbrush mustache. His first sound film was the 1940 film The Great Dictator, which was a satire of Adolf Hitler and fascism at large.

11. Albert Einstein Possibly the most well-known scientist of all time, this German-born theoretical physicist is best known for developing the theory of relativity. His chevron mustache was one of his most notable features.
