Henry Cavill Says Goodbye To His Beloved Mustache With Touching Tribute Video

Henry Cavill's mustache may be gone, nevertheless it will never be forgotten — thanks, in part, to its infamous incognito performance in Justice League. On Wednesday (March 21), the British actor mentioned goodbye to his beloved 'stache, which he lovingly nicknamed Kingstache, with a touching tribute video.


This obviously marks the end of Cavill's time on the set of Mission: Impossible — Fallout, where he grew the bristly facial accessory for his role in the Tom Cruise action flick. "I know, it's hard to recognize me without Kingstache. Some days I even have trouble recognizing myself," Cavill says in the in the video. "It’s hard for me to admit, this isn't CGI," he adds, in reference to all the drama the 'stache caused on the set of Justice League as soon as it had to be digitally removed in post-production soon after a incredible flex from MI6 studio Paramount. (The results were, uh, mixed to put it gently.)


Anyway, the production value of this In Memoriam video is truly spectacular, and the Sarah McLachlan song was a nice touch. It's what Kingstache would have wanted. And, frankly, what it deserved.


The video ends with a solitary frame that reads, "Shaved however not forgotten." Honestly, Cavill's not even being that dramatic. He's right! That 'stache and all of its drama is arguably the most memorable thing about Justice League.
