Chest waxer got in her whacks in 'Virgin'
Chicago Sun Times. December 13, 2005
NEW YORK --The chest-waxing scene in ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin'' was one of this year's most harrowing movie moments -- made only more so with the knowledge that it was, in fact, real.
For the sake of comedy, Steve Carell had his rather bushy chest waxed while four cameras captured the anguish. ''He's like one-eighth lemur,'' ....
To yank Carell's hair, Rogen and the producers of ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin'' turned to Miki Mia -- whose unlikely skill set of acting and waxing finally came to fruition. (She acts full time, but when she returns to her native Japan, she helps in an aunt's salon.)....
A. Oh, yeah. I think it was the longest and hairiest person I've ever worked on. I couldn't find his skin or nipple at all......
....Q. It looks like you were all having some trouble controlling your laughter.
A. I really love waxing people and when I hear them scream, I love it. I couldn't help myself.
