India's Ram Singh Chauhan -14 Feet Long Moustache

Think your Movember effort is going to be pretty impressive? India's Ram Singh Chauhan will make you hang your head in shame at your weedy facial fuzz. The 58-year-old is the proud owner of the world's longest moustache - at an astonishing 14 feet long. Chauhan, who hails from the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan state, says his whiskers are his 'most prized possession'. He has spent an incredible 32 years cultivating the tash - which he spends two hours a day grooming.Chauhan, whose facial fur has even landed him a part in the James Bond movie 'Octopussy', said: 'Growing a moustache is like taking care of a baby - you really need to nurture it. 'It has taken me a long, long time to get it to 14 feet. It's not been an easy task.' Chauhan started growing his moustache during his late teens. 'I haven't used a shaving blade on my moustache, or trimmed them since 1970,' he said. 'The moustache is the symbol of pride and respect.

In ancient India, a moustache meant everything. 'It is priceless. It's a man thing.'Chauhan, whose feat has been recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records, is still cultivating his tash, but its growth has slowed drastically in recent years. But despite a number of contenders to his title, no others have come close to the mark. He said: 'When I first started to grow my moustache, I did not intend to break any record. Moustaches have been a part of Rajasthani and Indian culture for centuries. This is an age-old tradition. 'We are Rajputs. It's a common practice to sport a moustache in our clan. My father also sported a flowing one. Now my son has also started growing his.' However, Chauhan's moustache has seen him travel the world showing it off - including trips to Italy and Germany.
