Harrison Ford ‘Deforests’ His Chest Hair for the Environment
April 28, 2008 · Print This Article
Harrison Ford invited cameras along on an expedition, and it wasn’t the fun Indiana Jones kind: he was having his chest waxed. Considering that Harrison isn’t the type of guy you’d expect to see on television undergoing intensive man-grooming, naturally, there’s a good reason for all this. It’s all for the good of the environment!
Access Hollywood cameras taped Harrison as he endured the painful process, explaining that his aim was to “shock people into going green”. As vice chair of Conservation International, Harrison wants people to be more aware of the effects of deforestation.
From Conservation.org:
We believe that the Earth’s natural heritage must be maintained if future generations are to thrive spiritually, culturally, and economically. Our mission is to conserve the Earth’s living heritage - our global biodiversity - and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature.
In a culture where dim airhead celebrities flash their no-no parts at cameras for attention, it’s refreshing that a shock-value stunt actually has a good purpose.

Holy crap. I don’t have near the forest Mr. Ford does, so for me it wouldn’t be nearly as painful. But I still ain’t doin’ it.
I don’t know, he looks a bit saggy in that picture.
Hell, I tried the eco-friendly hair removal method of ’sugaring’ which is for all intents and purposes the same as waxing and couldn’t even take it on a small, flat area of my calf. I can’t imagine dealing with it as a hairy-chested man.
I know the old guy has to do things like that for show business, but I still want to think of him a true macho guy…And I’d rather suspend belief and “not ” know about it…A hero is a hero …even with a waxed chest.
butter with them rolls? he needs to hand some of that over to his wife.
but, you know, i’d still kick it to han solo..
