What type of mustache did Charlie Chaplin wear?

Handlebar
Chevron
Toothbrush
Fu Manchu

Correct Answer: Toothbrush

Fact: The toothbrush mustache is shaved at the edges, except for three to five centimeters above the center of the lip. The style originally became popular in the late 19th century in the United States. Charlie Chaplin was one of the most famous wearers of the toothbrush moustache. In a 1933 interview, Chaplin said he added the moustache to his costume because it had a comical appearance and was small enough so as not to hide his expression. Adolf Hitler was a fan of Chaplin, but there is no evidence that Hitler modeled his mustache after Chaplain.
