Actor Steve Carell's wife was furious after he waxed his chest for hit comedy The 40 Year Old Virgin - because the treatment was carried out by a non-professional.

The 45-year-old agreed to have his chest hair removed for unscripted scenes in the 2005 movie, but the end result did not impress his wife, Nancy Mills.

He says, "The blood was real. They hired an actress who said she had waxing experience. My wife freaked out when I got home. She made me wear a T-shirt around the house for months. Tweezing, coiffing and waxing every errant hair seems weird to me. I have better ways of spending my time."
