Rachel McAdams has received a slew of nasty comments from people calling her “dirty,” “tasteless” and “gross” for not shaving her forearms — after showing off her hairy underarms during a recent photo shoot for Rush magazine.
The actress, 44, proudly flaunted her natural beauty during the raw, minimally edited shoot, reminding readers that ‘looking your best’ is different for everyone.
The photo shoot sparked a furious debate on social media about body hair – with some people praising the Mean Girls alum for her confidence and others labeling it a “turn off” and declaring that they will “never look at her the same again.”
“Gross, no thanks,” one person wrote on Twitter, while another simply said, “Ew.”

Others replied throwing up emojis, while another tweeted, “Can’t sleep. Having nightmares about Rachel McAdams’ armpit hair.”
“Dear sir… She has more pit hair than me,” a man revealed. “I’m not sure who exactly wants pit hair. It’s kind of worthless.’
“That’s just gross,” a fifth tweet read, with another user adding, “It’s tasteless.”
Someone else even called the 44-year-old “Rachel McArmpits.”
“They need to stop bringing that back. There was a reason it went away. I will not obey,” another person sneered.
“I’d vomit if my wife had armpit hair like that,” another user wrote.
Others accused her of not shaving to “stay relevant,” while one even called her “desperate for attention.”
However, some social media users defended Rachel, branding her a “queen” for choosing not to remove her hair.
“I wish more celebrities would be this comfortable in their bodies,” one supportive tweeter wrote.

“Oh no… Someone has hair where hair f**king grows – the horror,” said another sarcastically.
“If you’re really pissed off that Rachel McAdams is showing off her armpit hair in her most recent shoot, crawl back under the cold rock you came from,” someone else added.
“I’ve had two kids, this is my body, and I think it’s so important to reflect back on the world,” Rachel told Bustle. “It’s fine to look your best and work for it and be healthy, but that’s different for everyone”
Another tweet read: “Powerful. Astonishing. Astonishing. Brave.’
In a photo from the shoot, Rachel was seen in a black corset-style tank top with matching pants and strappy heels.
In the photo, she was sprawled on a couch with her arms spread, exposing her hairy armpits completely.
Another image showed her in a floor-length white dress with a slit at her chest. The sleeveless dress also showed off her unshaven armpits.
“I’ve had two kids, this is my body, and I think that’s so important to reflect back on the world,” Rachel, who shares a five-year-old son and two-year-old daughter with her partner Jamie Linden, told the outlet.
