Waxing Steve Carell’s chest in The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Any movie, TV show, or skit starring Steve Carell is going to be full of funny material. This is especially true in The 40-Year-Old Virgin during the waxing scene. As you can imagine, faking a chest wax is nearly impossible, especially if you’re as hair a fellow as Steve.
The only choice was to actually wax his chest, which he was obviously against in the beginning. But without a say in the matter, the director had a professional waxer do his chest, which causes him to scream out in pain in a “colorful” manner. Everything that took place in that scene was real, from his chest hair being violently ripped out to his understandable reaction.
