Julia Roberts’ Armpits

In April 1999, Roberts made waves in more ways than one when she inadvertently revealed armpit hair while waving to the crowd at the premiere of Notting Hill. While it wasn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, there were plenty of rumors as to why she did this.

One rumor was that Roberts grew out her armpit hair because her boyfriend at the time, Benjamin Bratt, had a fetish for it. Another idea was that Roberts was making a feminist statement at the premiere. Unfortunately, there was no real exciting reason as to why she went with the armpit hair. Roberts claimed that she didn’t think the sleeve length on her gown would be that short, so she thought nobody would notice.
