Reports have recently surfaced that while filming for his latest picture, Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen was hospitalized after suffering a serious allergic reaction during a botched body hair bleaching session.
A source revealed: “Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films. He’d heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he’d bleach all his hair so it looked invisible.
“But it quickly turned into a disaster. Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse.
“He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent. It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that he couldn’t sit down for three days.”
Doctors prescribed a soothing cream and antihistamines, but Sacha took days to fully recover, delaying filming for nearly a week.
I question the validity of this report, if for no other reason than than bleaching will not make ridiculous amounts of body hair disappear, it will only turn it yellow. There’s no way you could expect that bleaching Sacha Baron Cohen would make his body hair invisible while filming. Have you seen how much hair is on that body? It’s like a Wookie mated with a Brillo pad.
Perhaps waxing would have been a better option, but he just wasn’t willing to go that far. I don’t blame him. The thought of having the hair ripped out of my hoohah by the roots makes me vomit in my mouth a little bit. I’ll stick to razors, thanks.
“Its like a wookie mated with a Brillo pad.” Too funny. Keep’em coming Kelly.
hah! this douche had it coming.
I believe it. I remember some girls in high school who used to bleach their facial hair. It did almost make the hair invisible.
geez hair bleaching is nothing new. people do it ALL THE TIME to make it less obvious that there is hair in certain places. I really dont know why this surprises you at all. This isn’t like the Jeremy Piven Mercury thing- this stuff happens on a regular basis.
Come on Kelly – it isn’ that bad! Razors leave nasty razor burn and waxing leaves things smooth. smooth. smooth.
If this story is true, the person who did the bleaching was not very bright. Everyone knows you’re supposed to do a small patch of skin and wait a day to see if you react. Well, not everyone, obviously.
The only thing good about this story is that I like it when hetero men find out how painful women’s beauty treatments can be…
Hear hear!!!!! I don’t think men could handle waxing, laser removal or epilators. I don’t even feel them anymore, I don’t even need to take a couple Advil beforehand. My husband calls in sick if he has a sliver.
Suffering for his art. We don’t see enough of that anymore.
