BROW ON FLEEK

Famous monobrows – from Celebrity Big Brother’s Karthik Nagesan to Liam Gallagher and Brad Pitt

WHILE the monobrow is not usually seen as a strong look - there are some who have made it their own.

Karthik Nagesan wowed Celebrity Big Brother audiences with his statement monobrow - so in his honour, we have taken a look at some of the best celebrity monobrows throughout history. Here they are...

Frida Kahlo

While monobrows are often thought of as funny, Frida Kahlo made hers into a dramatic statement.

Never one to behave as people expected, the Mexican painter refused to change the way she naturally looked, saying she liked her eyebrows and eyes.

It was also her way of challenging what it meant to be feminine - and the artist is still a trailblazer as you'll see few women on this list.

Love it or hate it, there's no denying the monobrow is a huge part of what makes Kahlo memorable - and when we think about famous tweezer-refusers, it's her that springs to mind.

Liam Gallagher

His fans love his don't-care attitude when it comes to his frank opinions and slamming his brother on the internet.

So it's no surprise Liam Gallagher's not too fussed about eyebrow grooming.

We wouldn't care if we were a British music legend either.

Brad Pitt

He probably wouldn't dare rock a monobrow now he's one of Hollywood's biggest heart-throbs.

But in his high school days, Brad Pitt sported a bit of extra hair in the middle of his face.

This picture's from his year book when he would have been around 18 years old.

Beatle George Harrison was a total heart-throb in his youth, and managed to charm the hearts of music fans everywhere - with his monobrow.

Well, everything was free and easy in the 60's - including eyebrow maintenance.

Nicolas Cage

"Monobrowed" is probably not the first descriptor that springs to mind when we say the words "Nicolas Cage" - but then again we doubt you think "Oscar-winning actor" either!

Look closely and you'll spot the National Treasure star - who won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas in 1996 - used to sport a bit of a bush between his brows.

It's early days for the 21st century, but we're calling it: Portugese footballer José Bosingwa has the Monobrow Of The Century.

He was in the Chelsea side that won the 2012 Champions League before moving to London rivals QPR.

But this bold brow may be his crowning achievement.

We'd be remiss not to mention "the next billion dollar unicorn", Celebrity Big Brother contestant Karthik Nagesan.

Karthik is proud of his monobrow and has vowed never to fit in.

He said: "I've got a nice big monobrow, for the last ten years people have been telling me, pluck it out, be like everyone else.

"But Karthik – or the Big K – is not someone who is like everybody else, everybody else wants to be like Karthik."

Noted.
