The hosts of BBC Breakfast were startled to see 'Take That,' the English pop group’s Mark Owen, sporting a completely different look. The new look with a moustache surprised the hosts as Mark Owen was different in his early days in the band.

What was Mark Owen's response to BBC Breakfast hosts about his moustache?

Mark Owen, a 50-year-old singer and songwriter, came to the show to promote his latest album, Land of Dreams. It is the fifth solo album by Owen outside of Take That. The singer spoke to hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent about his performance and career. However, what caught the hosts' attention and became the topic of conversation was his facial hair, or moustache, and they asked him how long he had been sporting that.

Mark replied that he had been putting them on for about four years. The facial hair started as a beard; then it went sketchy on one side. He further stated an issue related to his beard that sometimes it gets a bit sweaty during the tour, and then he finally decided to get rid of it a few years back.
