Before They Were Stars
Stars Knew How to Work a ’Stache with Panache Before They Were Famous
At some point or another, every guy thinks, “I bet I’d look awesome if I just grew out this thing...” and of course, cute as they may be, they’re not always right. Then again, some stars rock their mustaches so hard, they look, frankly, kind of naked without them. However, in Movember it doesn't matter whether or not if a guy is pulling off his 'stache, it's the statement he's making about men's health. In solidarity with Movember, check out these stars whose follicular follies occurred long before their fame—and some whose 'staches were smashes. By Nina Hämmerling Smith

Laurence Tureaud at Dunbar Vocational High School in 1969 and Mr. T in 2008
In 1982, Mr. T became an instant star playing Clubber Lang, the bad guy opponent to Sylvester Stallone’s fighter in Rocky III. He then played B.A. Baracus for four years on The A-Team, cementing his place as an American icon. His 1984 LP Mr. T’s Commandments offers advice to kids, like “Don’t Talk to Strangers” (which is seriously too awesome to miss). In 2010, Mr. T explained to Wendy Williams why he refused a cameo in the A-Team movie (“I don’t take seconds”). Through it all, he has maintained both his trademark Mohawk and his full beard and mustache.
