The normally clean-shaven former UKIP leader Nigel Farage appears to have spent his post-Brexit spare time working on his facial hair.<\/p>\n
Debuting his new mustache on RT\u2019s News Thing, Twitter went into meltdown before the show was even aired.<\/p>\n
Some is speculation Farage\u2019s new look may be an attempt to disguise himself from those who look less favorably on Britain\u2019s decision to leave the EU.<\/p>\n
Others suggest he may want to run in the party\u2019s leadership race incognito.<\/p>\n
Farage has said the idea of coming back as leader in the future is no longer on his to-do list. But he has resigned twice before…<\/p>\n
Others think he may just be trying to change up his style, taking inspiration from Will Ferrell from Anchorman, the \u201ccomic book bad guy\u201d<\/em> or a 1970s porn star.<\/p>\n Some users suggested an \u201cimmigrant caterpillar\u201d<\/em> may have found its way to his top lip.<\/p>\n Is it just me or does that ‘tache make Farage look a bit….. foreign?<\/p>\n \u2014 John Dobson (@johnnydobbo) August 12, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Others think it may put hipsters off growing a mustache for life.<\/p>\n Some are suggesting Farage is doing all he can to live up to his \u201cvillain\u201d<\/em> image.<\/p>\n I see Farage’s transition to villain in a Victorian melodrama is almost complete. Next comes the top hat and monocle.<\/p>\n \u2014 ErIN (@erin_perrin) August 12, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Farage is growing his pantomime villain moustache, ready for the season https:\/\/t.co\/7aZA3VYpvc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fiona Shoop (@FiShoop) August 12, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Farage\u2019s full interview with News Thing presenter Sam Delaney will air on Saturday, where he claims to have \u201cdestroyed the far right in Britain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
