movie_scenes_that_really_happened

''It had to be real,'' said Steve Carell of his now infamous chest-waxing scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. ''It wouldn't be as funny if it was mocked up. You have to see it really happening.'' So the actor bravely bared his extraordinarily furry chest for one of cinema’s funniest pieces of unscripted schadenfraude. Although the resulting scene was comedic genius, Carell’s wife was furious to learn that the actress hired to groom her husband was not a professional esthetician. Said Carell: ''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.''
