Who Wore it Better?
Other than being acting buddies, Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck have a lot in common. Both of their careers are closely linked with the Western genre, and they both have the most prominent mustaches in the history of Hollywood. Sam is questioned about his stache often, including rumors of a mustache rivalry between him and Tom.

You have to hand it to Sam, who always handles the question with the most diplomatic of responses. “I think it all depends on where we are at the time, you know? Right now, I’ve got more of a mustache than Tom does, but I know he can grow one.” Sam also can’t resist a tiny little stroke of ego and once said, “I don’t think he’s ever grown his out the way I’ve grown mine out over the years.”
