Random Movie Trivia - 40 Year Old Virgin

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

The 40 Year Old Virgin
  • The scene where Steve Carell has his chest hair ripped off was real.  That was his real chest hair and they actually waxed strips of it off.  On the DVD extra features, Steve is heard saying that it won't hurt but then after the scene, he claimed it was the most painful thing he ever felt.  Also, the lady they had doing the waxing wasn't a professional and accidentally almost ripped off Steve's nipple.
  • Most of the scenes in the movie were improvised especially the "You Know How I Know You're Gay" scene.
  • In a deleted scene on the DVD, Andy (Carell) calls a help line to help get rid of his erection and the person on the line is director Judd Apatow doing an Indian accent.
  • Judd Apatow's daughter was the one who came up with the idea to have the drunk chick (played by Apatow's wife, Leslie Mann) that Andy picked up at the bar fall asleep at the wheel and bounce off of parked cars.
  • Film debut of The Office's Mindy Kaling.
  • The counselor at the health clinic where Andy takes Marla (Kat Dennings) is played by his Steve Carell's real wife, Nancy Carell.
  • Jane Lynch's character (Andy's boss) was originally written for a man until Steve Carell's wife suggested Jane for the part.
  • Steve Carell was actually 43 and the father of two kids when the film was released.
  • Paul Rudd came up with the idea for Steve Carell to yell out "Oh, Kelly Clarkson!" during the waxing scene.
  • According to Seth Rogen, Steve Carell was so nervous that the movie would be shut down by the studio that he had the writers make a back-up script with no profanity in it.
  • Even though all of the main characters are supposed to be portrayed as the same age, Seth Rogen was only 22 when the movie was filmed and everyone else was in their 30's and 40's.
"Yup, totally real."
