Getting an inside look at the painful beauty procedure that women often put themselves through for the sake of a hairless body, these 5 celebrity guys all got waxed and shared their painful, embarrassing and scary experiences afterwards. Having to remove hair for a role or even while on the camera for a scene, these celebrities all had their hair ripped out and were left looking baby-smooth, mostly against their will! Surprised by how shockingly painful waxing actually can be, many of them have vowed to never wax their bodies ever again following their traumatic hair removal experience!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
When asked what one of his biggest fears in life is, Arnold joked that he once has a terrible waxing experience which left him terrified: “I am petrified of bikini waxing. I had a very bad experience in 1978.”
Channing Tatum
Channing reveals that he had to keep his body completely hair-free for Magic Mike and found the waxing process incredibly painful, so much so that he’ll never do it again: ”It was the most painful thing I’ll ever do. And it’s something I’ll never do again.”
Justin Bartha
Justin had to wax his body for his part in ‘Cbgb’ and found the whole thing completely embarrassing: “They took the Jew right out of me… I got it all waxed, baby! Stiv used to do some drugs and drive down the highway and they (bandmates) used to moon people while they were driving… He also gets oral sex onstage (in the movie). Normally, I have some hair on my body and I knew I would have to lose some weight (to play Bators), and on the way to the gym there was a sign that I would pass everyday that was for a waxing place… I had to do it.” But he admits his first, and possibly last, full waxing was a humiliating experience: “You go into this room with a woman that clearly does this everyday… I did my arms and my chest and then I was like, ‘Can I please have the between-the-cheeks,’ and she was like, ‘Sure, flip over!’ as if I asked for a piece of gum… It was humiliating.”
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew had to be perfectly waxed to play the part of a stripper in ‘Magic Mike’ and found it difficult: ”It was like 7:30 in the morning, I go down there, we’re in Hollywood, and I go to this little place in the strip mall. And the place is called Smile. There’s this Russian woman in there, and she’s just as formal as you could be, ‘In the back, clothes off, lay down, turn over!’She’s pouring this glue and stuff all over you, and you’re sitting there and you’re giggling, and all the sudden she lays something on you … and it hurts! It does hurt! And the thing is, after every time she waxed off whatever hair she’s pulling, she says, ‘So sorry, so sorry, so sorry.’ So you just giggle through the tears and hope you only got to do it once.”
Steve Carell
Steve famously had his back waxed in ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ and according to the actor, the whole experience was very real and he was left covered in blood following the ordeal and reveals his wife hated it:”The blood was real. They hired an actress who said she had waxing experience. My wife freaked out when I got home. She made me wear a T-shirt around the house for months. Tweezing, coiffing and waxing every errant hair seems weird to me. I have better ways of spending my time.”
