Someone has even noticed that because of the new look, Eiland has become similar to the Latvian hockey player Rihards Maren. The similarity was first noticed by comedian Rudolfs Kugren. “Because of my moustache, he mocked that I look like some American second league hockey player, and Edgars Bālins, hearing this, announced: “Correct, Eiland looks like Maren now!” recalls Eiland.
“I started growing a mustache because of the show “We love you”, which we make together with the comedian Kaspar Breidak. In them, we tend to pull each other’s teeth, and I thought that a mustache would be a good reason for Kaspar to laugh at me. But everything turned out differently –
I didn’t expect any big jokes about the mustache from Kaspar, but I started getting compliments from the girls.
I realized that the mustache even suits me, and I decided to keep it at least until the summer,” says Ralph.
