Hulk Hogan to shave off his mustache

Hulk Hogan is going to shave off his iconic mustache. The wrestling legend has revealed he is planning to take a razor to his famous facial hair and long hair in the coming weeks for some movie auditions.

“I’m getting ready to go to some auditions; I’m getting ready to shave my head and mustache so that should be scary!” he said.

The TNA Wrestling star has also revealed he had to have a “hole drilled” into his head to clear an infection in his mouth.

The 58-year-old grappler underwent surgery in October to get dental implants and then after having a teeth mold fitted he got an infection which wouldn’t clear up which was revealed to have been caused by a metal tack left in his mouth by a dentist.

“The theme for today is kids take care of your teeth, because if you stuff candy in your mouth you’re going to rot your teeth out,” he said.

“After many years of not taking care of teeth correctly I had to finally have surgery and a couple of glitches in the system and we got an infection.

“I had surgery and they drilled a hole in my head – which I needed to let all the hot air out — cleaned everything up so I’m good to go. But it feels like somebody punched me in the face.”

Over the course of his five decade spanning career, Hulk has only been seen a handful of times without his mustache in the ring and on screen.
