Bruno Mars Got a Fake Mustache From Joe Jonas — and We Hope He Wears It Forever

We’re not sure exactly why Joe Jonas is handing out fake mustaches, but we’re going to say it’s one of his better ideas. Bruno Mars, the apparent new king of Movember, took to Instagram on Monday to thank the band DNCE, which Jonas fronts, for his new “GENIUS disguise,” calling it a “game changer.”

The “Uptown Funk” singer, who was in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for the MTV Europe Music Awards, continued in a second post that showed him looking out the window of his hotel: “With this new face, I can finally leave this hotel room. Not as Bruno, but as Hector (pronounced Éctor). Today marks the first day of the rest of my life.”

Bruno — or Éctor’s — ’stache is so brilliantly bad (truly like a big fuzzy caterpillar crawled onto his face and took a nap) that it’s good. So good that suddenly all we want to see is the baby-faced singer, 31, wearing it while striking soulful poses that involve batting his puppy-dog eyes. Lucky for us — and you — we’re able to grant our own wish with the help of a little Photoshop magic.

Imagine if the singing sensation had that lady tickler when he did “Uptown Funk”:

Would Beyoncé and Chris Martin have been as excited to share the stage with him at the Super Bowl had he had the lip toupee?

His big Grammy moment definitely would have been overshadowed by the snot mop:

Michelle Obama probably wouldn’t have gone in for the hug had he been sporting the crumb catcher:

And cute “Little Elvis” may never have become the star he was today had he rocked the terrifying face fungus back then:

But may this silly ‘stache be with him — for a long time. We’re pretty sure it tickles him, but it definitely tickles us as well.
