Can Hairy Legs Be Sexy? One Male Celebrity Thinks So

By Elizabeth Angell, Allure magazine

Jamie Foxx was on the Tonight Show recently, talking about his upcoming role as a female bank robber. Jay Leno asked if he was planning to wax or shave his legs, and Foxx answered that he was going to go the Mo'Nique route and let his leg hair grow. "That's sexy in the south," Foxx said of the leg stubble Mo'Nique famously showed at last year's Golden Globes. "[Guys] like to braid that up. Guys just be at home braiding her leg, 'Baby, you so sexy.'"

I'm pretty committed to shaving my legs, but Foxx's comments did make me wonder: what if a guy told me he found hairy legs sexy-would I grow in a little peach fuzz? You never know what you'll do in the name of true love. (My husband happens to be from the south, so I'll have to check with him about whether this is indeed a local taste.)

Would you grow your leg hair out for a guy-or would you never feel sexy without smooth legs?
