Ah, the moustache that set this whole thing off. Sure, we went to see the new&nbsp;Top Gun:&nbsp;Maverick&nbsp;for the all-guns-blazing, action-packed nostalgia, but we can’t be the only one who came out fixating on Rooster’s moustache. Just as Tom Cruise’s Maverick threw away the rulebook on training pilots, this moustache threw away the rulebook on sex appeal. Why is it hot?? Miles Teller, the troubled drummer in&nbsp;Whiplash, reborn as a hunky pilot through the power of RayBans and a furry friend tickling his bouche. Who’d have thought.

It sharpens his face, somehow.



Verdict: ‘TACHE.

Genuine shudders. For his role as a psychopathic assassin in Netflix’s upcoming film&nbsp;The Gray Man&nbsp;(out in July), the&nbsp;Captain America&nbsp;star adopted possibly the worst-oiled caterpillar of facial hair we’ve ever seen. In&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmllggGO4pM&amp;ab_channel=Netflix" target="_blank">the trailer</a>, leading man Ryan Gosling dubs it a “trash ‘stache” and, er, that about sums it up. Never let it be said that actors don’t make sacrifices for their art.

This has to be some kind of crime.



Verdict:&nbsp;NO ‘TACHE.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HENRY CAVILL</h2>

OMG, IS THAT REALLY HIM? Okay, this is possibly a little harsh on Cavill, otherwise known as Superman But, lordy, having dug up his role as the ridiculous Humphrey in 2007’s&nbsp;Stardust, this blond moustache just has to be seen. Truly proof that hair can make or break a man.

This is the sort of glow-up that dreams are made of.



Verdict:&nbsp;Good God, NO ‘TACHE.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SAM CLAFLIN</h2>

Do you know what? Fair play. The star of&nbsp;The Hunger Games&nbsp;and&nbsp;Me Before You&nbsp;has sported moustaches for roles as Mycroft in&nbsp;Enola Holmes&nbsp;and Oswald in&nbsp;Peaky Blinders, as well as doing his bit for Movember, and he does an admirable job at pulling it off.

Hm. Is it all in the cheekbones?



Verdict:&nbsp;Honestly, either. But we’ll give Sam Claflin a pass to ‘TACHE.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JOE JONAS</h2>

Joe, WHY? The Jonas Brothers and DNCE singer has dabbled in and out with a 70s / 80s style moustache over the years, famously (and&nbsp;terribly) at the 2017 VMAs, as well as in the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 music video&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_JbZvHc92U&amp;ab_channel=JonasBrothersVEVO" target="_blank">Cool</a>. Let’s not beat around the bush here: it’s awful.

Frankly, Sophie Turner deserves better.



Verdict:&nbsp;NO ‘TACHE.

Have we been staring at pictures of moustaches for too long or is this one okay? Probably it’s the Freddie Mercury charisma, as it was for his role in&nbsp;Bohemian Rhapsody&nbsp;that the actor donned his proper pornstar ‘tache. By all accounts it should be an instant ‘ick’ factor, but somehow he’s still sexy. No? Just us?

We think it works with his unique face shape.



Verdict:&nbsp;‘TACHE.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GEORGE CLOONEY</h2>

Why does this work? Is there anything the man can’t pull off? To be fair, the silver-fox-style moustache is a subtler beast. Less, er, in-your-face. This still is from his role in the 2019 miniseries&nbsp;Catch-22, but Clooney’s not been a stranger to a bit of upper lip decor in his personal life — and not without getting&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/george-clooney-mustache_n_3474701" target="_blank">some heat for it</a>. I dunno, I think it’s sort of Richard-from-FRIENDS-esque in its strange attractiveness.

He’s a sophisticated man and we’ll invite him in to look at the plumbing, facial hair or not.



Verdict:&nbsp;‘TACHE.
