It's hard to forget Matt Dillon's skinny mo he wore to play smarmy private detective Pat Healy in the legendary comedy There Is Something About Mary.

But the mere tuffs of hair could become a distant memory, after the 48-year-old was spotted with a whopping handlebar moustache for his new movie Whiskey Bay.

The actor, along with fellow Hollywood star Willem Dafoe, rolled out the heavy facial hair to film  scenes for their Southern cop drama last night in New Orleans.

During the shoot, Dafoe, 57, could be seen running around the street wearing a bulletproof vest, a badge, and carrying an assault rifle, before later being spotted hanging out a window with a sniper rifle.

Meanwhile Dillon appears to get injured in the scene.

Wearing a bandage on his hand and sporting his own bushy mustache, he was dressed in head-to-toe black.

In between takes, Dafoe's facial hair appeared to become unstuck, but thankfully a make-up artist came to the rescue to tend to the tache.

The action flick started shooting earlier this week, and will be filmed over five weeks in Baton Rouge as well as Angola.

Matt famously sported a pencil thin moustache to play low-rent smarmy private detective Pat Healy in There's Something About Mary.

His character along with co-star Ben Stiller's battle it out for the affection of Cameron Diaz's Mary in the now legendary comedy flick.

Dillon's career is going full steam ahead at the moment.

The actor just completed filming Imogene, alongside Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig and Award-winning actress Annette Bening.

The comedy is about a playwright who stages a suicide in an attempt to win back her ex, only to wind up in the custody of her gambling-addict mother.

He also has two films in post-production - Sunlight Jr., a drama alongside Naomi Watts, and a  comedy titled Pawn Shop Chronicles with Elijah Wood and Brendan Fraser.

He is also set to star in Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story with Malin Ackermann next year.

Ackermann replaced troubled starlet Lohan after producers deemed the actress 'impossible to insure'.

Meanwhile Dafoe is busy with his own projects.

The Spider Man star just complete Old Thomas, a thriller about a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities, and Tomorrow You're Gone, alongside Stephen Dorff and Michelle Monaghan.
