The singer joked he had to grow the moustache as 'a disguise for his own safety' after making several kids cry with his latest music video.

He wrote: 'Have made too many children cry with my new music video for Wish You The Best.
'So I’ve decided it’s time to assume a disguise for my own safety. It took me SIX WEEKS to grow this moustache and I had to colour it in with mascara so it was actually visible… I’m 26 years old'.
It comes after Lewis shared his hilarious reaction as children burst into tears at his emotional new music video for Wish You The Best.
The singer recently released the visual to accompany his latest single, in which Harry Potter actor David Bradley, 81, plays an elderly postman who passes away, leaving his beloved dog heartbroken.
After scenes of mourning at his graveside, the pooch is welcomed in by a younger postman - until she passes away too and is reunited with her former owner.
But some young children have been left bawling at the emotionally-charged masterpiece in TikTok videos.
Responding to the clips on his own profile, Lewis struck a series of shock reactions as he observed their reactions.
He quipped in his caption, 'I am now making children cry.'
But soon added: 'I feel like my latest music video is emotionally scarring these children and I don't know how to feel cause on one hand it's sad but also at least the song is getting out there.'
