The 40-year-old virgin is a classic for comedy in 2005 for Andy (Steve Karel), a 40-year-old electronics salesman who never had sex with another person. Although it is probably not a kind of movie you can make today, and some of his jokes are aging like milk, in her heart, the "40-year-old virgin" is a kind of sweet and really, really, really funny. Karel is a warm, Guavy center of the movieAs Andy is a cute nervousness, which has just been set up because of the circumstances, not because he is a powerless troll. He also has incredible chemistry with Catherine Kinner, who plays his Love -Bish -Bish -Bish. While Karel is great in most things, he's really ellen in the "40-year-old virgin", but there was a scene that almost pulled out too much. In fact, it was almost a little meat, as Karel almost lost his nipple while filming the film's funniest scene.

Many actors Practice a certain form of action on the methodWhere they do certain things about real or take qualities of their character to make their performance more authentic, but for the stage of waxing in the "40-year-old virgin", Karel and director Dud Apatou have decided to lead Karel's pretty fur breasts for a real, on the camera. The results are funny, with Karel screaming really unusual pain shouts (with "Kelly Clarkson!", To be my favorite), but according to Apatow, Karel was in very real pain.

In a retrospective interview for the 20th anniversary with Hollywood reporterThe Apatou revealed that it was Karel's idea to wax it for real. As such, he and the rest of the film's crew were filming the scene "As a Documentary Film", with five different cameras it will be ensured that they received full coverage of the action. However, they also needed a wax that could act, leading to some complications. As the Apatou recalls:

"We wanted the wax to be someone who was an actress and also professional wax. Mickey Mia claimed to be wax, but I think she may have done it only once because she clearly didn't know how to do it, and we almost tore our nipples during the filming."

Look, the actors had to make some beautiful Poor things for sci-fi films And Horror movies Over the years, but almost your nipple has been torn with a piece of wax and paper for sexual comedy is a serious commitment. Indeed, you can see a lot of blood that climbs Karel's chest from his individual pores during this scene. I had waxed eyebrows, and until they were almost as bulky as the curls on Karel's chest, there was also absolutely no blood and much less redness. The wax will hurt, but Karel's experience seemed particularly harsh.

On stage, Andy flies his chest in case he actually ends up with someone, and instead of looking at cheerful and hairless, he ends up with patches of hot, bare skin and large tips of thick hair on his chest. Looks like he's fibrous jack-o'-hair, and it is clear that at least one of his nipples is a lot raw materials. He shouts for the whole experience and storms outside, and it is not difficult to imagine part of that frustration was Karel to realize that he had made a mistake in what was waxed for real. Hack, maybe you were sorry It comes with the basis of the "40-year-old virgin".

In the end, everything worked, and Karel's nipples survived, leaving us with one of the most famous gonzo scenes in the history of sex comedy. That is Like a trick "Jekas" trick But with significantly better lighting, with the advertising of Karel and his co-stars who argue about real, they made it all the funniest. After all, you must sometimes suffer for your art.
