A man has grown his moustache and chest hair into the shape of an octopus to raise money for a men's health charity fundraiser.

Ross Hoye, 26, has spent the month of November growing handlebars down his chin to form an octopus with his facial and chest hair for the Movember Foundation Australia.

'Some people say the burden of being hairy is too much for the common man to carry,' the Sydney man joked on Facebook.

'Lucky the past 26-years have put me in good stead for this year's Movember.'

The octopus was shaved into Mr Hoye's hair on Monday by Steve Salecich, barber and owner at Grand Royal Barbers.

After pictures of his efforts became an internet sensation, Mr Hoye has raised exceeded his $500 target, so far raising $1,700, following motivations to 'go big this year after a good effort last year'.

'If you saw mo last year you will know I take this seriously, and will be looking to step up my game this year but also looking to try raise some money for my efforts for this great cause.'

For the fundraiser in 2014, Mr Hoye had grown handlebars down his chin and onto his chest to reach the nipples.

'It's no secret that Ross has a talent for growing hair,' Mr Hoye's partner Jessica wrote.

'Sadly for me, I think he will be keeping it [the octopus] for a while.'

On Tuesday, Movember Foundation Australia shared a selfie of the 26-year-old and his freshly shaved octopus.

The foundation called it the 'Octo Mo' in the post which has been shared on Facebook more than 5,500 times.

The response to Mr Hoye's efforts has been overwhelmingly positive with some saying they are in 'awe'.

'What a work of hairy art!' one wrote.

'This just won the internet for me today, just take my money, well done.'

'Who knew all that hair could be used for good,' a friend said.

This is Mr Hoy'e third year taking part in the fundraiser.
