The sideburns here really make up a three-piece set with Billy Bob Thornton's flopped over "bangs" masking the 55-year-old's receding hairline and ... well, what is that exactly... a mouth tuft? It's called a 'soul patch' or mouche (French for "fly" as in "Has a giant fly landed on your lip?!). Actually, the sideburns are a modified mutton chop, and the look could be more mainstream, distinguished even, if you lose the sunglasses and soul patch. Unless you're going for the rock star look.
