Why did Rachel McAdams want to show off her armpit hair?
The 'About Time' actress displayed her armpit hair in an uplifting cover story for Bustle, where she posed in an all-black look that comprised a sultry corset top and wide-leg pants. A striking red lip, diamond-studded earrings, and sandal heels added flair to the breathtaking photo shoot. "I love that juxtaposition of beauty, glam, fantasy, and then truth," the actress told the magazine. "With this shoot, I'm wearing latex underwear. But I've had two children. This is my body, and I think that's so important to reflect back out to the world," the actress said.
"It's OK to look your best and work at it and be healthy," she further said, adding, "But that's different for everyone." Bustle reported that Rachel insisted the photos from the photoshoot be tweaked as little as possible because she was adamant about giving an authentic representation of her appearance.
'I would vomit if my wife had armpit hair like this'
Social media users took to Twitter to responsibly bombard the mother-of-two with vile comments. One such user tweeted, "I would vomit if my wife had armpit hair like this." A second user enquired, "Why does she have makeup on then? If you wanted to look natural, go bare faced like Alessia Cara and Alicia Keys, did. That'll raise more awareness than unshaved armpits. Women don't have to wear makeup to look pretty."
Another Twitter user took the "art" too seriously and suggested, "Always best when she hasn’t showered for a few days. The sweat dries, matts and clumps up the armpit hair. Soon you can see and smell fetid brown sugar flakes falling down onto her dress and shirts. Now that’s just art." One person wrote, "I cannot sleep. Having nightmares about Rachel McAdams' armpit hair. Why Regina George, why?" while others answered with "throwing up" emojis.One harsh comment read, "That is disgusting." "Looks like she needs a doctor....a Strange doctor," said another. One user wrote, "Not a fan of armpit hair, sorry," while another person commented, "She’s gross."
"Hahahaha, thats long enough to be braided," one user said, while another wrote, "She just became gross." "She’s looking for attention. Hasn’t done much lately," one said while slamming the actress. One fan asked, "Why do these celebs always end up getting so freaking weird? I guess Rachel isn’t getting enough parts so she has to do something to get attention? Pathetic and gross!"
