But while that look harks back more to ’70s male porn star style, the new wave of upper lip hair seems to be inspired by the popularity of Daniel Day-Lewis‘ character in There Will Be Blood.

Don’t get us wrong—this was one of the best flicks of ’07, but damn, did ya’ll really have to take it there?

We know you aren’t going to drink our milkshake, so perhaps its time to reevaluate that unabashed ’stache.
