The Internet Has Made Its Strong Feelings About Alexander Skarsgard's Emmy Mustache Known
Alexander Skarsgård won Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his role as in Big Little Lies during the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The internet, however, was not as interested in his craft or how a nice guy like Skarsgård managed to wholly embody the abuser Perry in the HBO series.
All the internet wanted to know: what the heck was that mustache doing on Skarsgård’s face.

Alexander Skarsgard is "even with a mustache" handsome.

A few Twitter users did their part to prevent this mustache thing from becoming a full-blown trend, reminding the social network that very, very few people can make a mustache look good.
Alexander Skarsgard is not only talented, but he is the only man I have ever seen look sexy with a moustache. #Emmys

Got it hand it to those Skarsgård men, though, they look good even when sporting 1940s style mustaches or nightmarish grins. For further proof, see Bill Skarsgård in his role as Pennywise the clown in It.
