Ex-GOP Congressman Demands Leonardo DiCaprio Shave His Armpit Hair on Fox News
Jason Chaffetz, once one of the most powerful men on Capitol Hill, spent his time on Monday telling a Hollywood actor to shave his pits.

During a panel segment on Fox News’ Outnumbered, the climate-conscious DiCaprio— who recently starred in the satirical climate change film Don’t Look Up—was labeled a hypocrite for sailing on a superyacht. Chaffetz, however, appeared more disturbed by the show’s producers airing an image of the shirtless actor. “Yeah, I just keep looking at that picture and I’m like, ‘Hey Leo, shave those pits, will ya?!’ I mean, come on! Don’t show it again, shave those pits. Come on man, do us all a favor,” Chaffetz, who left Congress in 2017 to join Fox News, exclaimed.
