Paul Slosar, a man from the US, has set the Guinness World Record for the longest moustache in the world. It measures 63.5 cm long.
Washington DC: Paul Slosar gained popularity for his massive moustache. The man got into the Guinness World Record with a moustache length of about 63.5 cm. His moustache length was measured officially in November 2022 at the US National Beard and Moustache Championships held in Wyoming.
Slosar from South Carolina's Summerville in the US has been growing his moustache for about 30 years. The man religiously took care of it and is proud of his accomplishment. However, his decision to grow out his moustache came after a particular complaint from his wife. She told him that her trimmed beard came in the way every time they kissed. According to her, the hair was pricking her face. Solsar prioritised his woman's comfort and decided to never trim again. As a result, his moustache started to grow. Today, it is so long that he can feel the walls with it.
Paul Slosar grew his beard for his wife
Though keeping up the moustache and caring for it is extremely difficult, Slosar is determined. Also, his wife has told him to never trim his moustache. She has gone to the extent of humorously telling him that if he ever came home with a trimmed moustache, he would be sent divorce papers.
Today, with his massive moustache, Slosar is a noted figure in the community of hair enthusiasts. Before Slosar took on the Guinness World Record for the longest moustache, it belonged to a man from India.
Ram Singh Chauhan from India's Jaipur had a moustache that measured 2.14 metres, according to the Guinness World Record. It was verified on the set of Lo Show dei Records in 2010 in Italy. Speaking to the media, he revealed that he had been growing his beard since 1970. He maintained it regularly with proper grooming methods. His motivation for his moustache was rooted in the Rajput culture.
