I know he had a beard, but I was comparing his mustache to the beard and which suited him better. I should've been more specific.drjohncarpenter wrote:Elvisfan10 wrote:He looked way better in Charro!

Elvis wore a beard in "Charro!" not a mustache.
What charges?

I know whenever an artist changed their hair style or grew facial hair or got rid of it in the 30s-70s or so, it was big news (like when Mick Jagger grew a beard in 1979 he was asked all about it). Similar to today in some ways, like when Brad Pitt grew his mustache he was asked about why he did it.
Also were there any other attempts by Elvis at a mustache that are known of?
And are there any other points in his life where he grew a beard--perhaps in private--besides Charro?

I don't think so. If you read Gillian Gaar's 2010 "Return of The King," she interviewed a number of very regular fans, who saw his actual attempt at the Charro beard, and apparently it was filled in for the cameras. That is according to someone, a very well-known fan photog, who told Gaar she has pictures of the "patchy" beard.
So, no, I don't think so. Later on, he had the mutton chops, and seemed to be hairier. Was he sensitive about it? Probably so, judging by a little incident in '69, where someone made a little remark about his chest hair, and he overheard it and said "yes, I do!"
