INTERVIEWER: So how did you end up looking like this?
ARTHUR MILNE: Um, it involved trimmers,
an auction, and a stranger attacking my beard.
[Crowd cheering]
MILNE: I'd always thought about doing Movember.
I actually petitioned my school to let me do it while I was at school, very unsuccessfully.
INTERVIEWER: What’s the reaction been so far, to the new you?
MILNE: People can see my face, finally.
INTERVIEWER: What made you want to do this?
MILNE: Taking a lot of health issues that men are perhaps
intimidated and/or afraid to talk about,
and try to bring them to the forefront and make them a bit less of a taboo.
Especially in New Zealand,
men tend to have the “she’ll be right” attitude
and the regular health checks tend to fall by the wayside in terms of bigger projects
like putting a deck on the back of the house, or something.
INTERVIEWER: Where do you think you’re going to be at in a week’s time?
MILNE: I don’t know, hopefully somewhere.
[Crowd cheering] MILNE: I kind of plan on growing it out as stubble,
as a full beard for the first week,
and then shaving it into a mo.
It’s very serious business, this mo growing.
INTERVIEWER: Do you have any moustache heroes?
MILNE: Moustache heroes? Well, I mean, Tom Selleck’s always a good standby.

Stalin always had a pretty nice, I guess you’d call it, like a half-brush, almost.

INTERVIEWER: I think you just lost yourself hundreds of dollars of donations...
MILNE: Yeah, probably. INTERVIEWER: ...just there.
MILNE: I’m talking just straight facial hair, here.
No political, ah f***.
Can we just edit that bit out?
