40 Year Old Virgin – Waxing Scene

Judd Apatow’s comedy The 40 Year Old Virgin was a pop culture phenomenon that helped make Steve Carell a star. But there was one scene in particular that was a bit unplanned, and risky. Carell decided that for a scene in which his character gets a body wax, he would actually get waxed himself. All the pain and anguish you see on his face is 100% genuine. Carell improvised some of his reactions to the painful beauty procedure, but the famous “Kelly Clarkson!” line was actually written by co-star Seth Rogen.
