Hair today, gone tomorrow.

It’s no secret that Henry Cavill is a super guy. But something even more super? His mustache.

The fraction of facial hair β€” which the actor had grown for Mission Impossible β€” Fallout and producers would not let him shave β€” became a celebrity in and of itself when it had to be removed using CGI for reshoots of Justice League.

Now, life is imitating art, as Superman has gone and removed the β€˜stache without using CGI, but a razor and some shaving cream instead.

Henry acknowledges that the loss might be hard for some, urging viewers not to be alarmed by his new appearance, and saying, β€œHe’s really gone. I can tell you this though, I will remember him, always.”

The video even includes a montage of mustached pictures so the memories may live on forever.

We guess Henry hasn’t heard about those Mission Impossible reshoots which were suddenly required…
