58-year-old India's Ram Singh Chauhan 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.' He 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.'
