Bella Thorne Talks Armpit Hair: 'It's Always Mating Season'

Bella Thorne doesn’t conform to societal body hair standards.

The 19-year-old actress has been pretty open about growing her body hair out and not shaving it.

“Body hair is always hit or miss for a person,” Bella wrote for InStyle.com. “While I never viewed it as gross, I didn’t really love it either. But I never understood the weirdness surrounding it.”

“You may think of an armpit as gross and sweaty and smelly. And yes, all those things are true, but it’s also true that sweating keeps your body’s core temperature down. Boom! Homeostasis,” Bella added. “And the smelling … well, I’m trying to look for a good upside, and the only one I can come up with is pheromones. What can I say? It’s always mating season when you have a brush under your pit.”
