Inspired by the Shatner shaved chest thread.
Last time I watched Die Hard, it seemed to me Bruce’s chest hair was changing from scene to scene. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any documentation of Hollywood chest hair augmentation – on men or women? I have absolutely seen armpit hair toupees on women in a couple of comedies that was so exaggerated it was like thick pelt.
Yes, I do know what a merkin is. Somewhere there’s a website which shows still pics of movies where an actress purportedly is wearing one. It’s the “carpet”, so to speak.
Heh. Well, It was less to quiz you and more to point out weirder things than “chest wigs”
I’d say chest wigs are weirder, since I can’t imagine what the motive would be. I can understand how an actress might justify using a merkin if she doesn’t want the whole world seeing her actual bush.
I haven’t noticed it myself, but it’s certainly possible that Willis shaved his chest at some point during filming, and since movies are generally not shot linearly, his chest hair would seem to diappear and reappear.
That seems more likely to me than some sort of a chest wig.
Or possibly that the director/the makeup department thought his chest hair needed either taming or augmentation, and they failed in maintaining continuity. He could have also lost some during stuntwork (especially with any pyrotechnics) that he might have done.
