The Wuthering Heights director Emerald Fennell said it was "unfortunate" that a scene showing Margot Robbie's hairy armpits did not make the final cut, because women in period adaptations are often shown with clean-shaven underarms.

Robbie's character, Cathy, had "extremely hairy armpits" in the 2026 adaptation of the novel, but "unfortunately the scene that we see them didn't make it in there", said the director.

Cathy having unshaven pits "was so important to me", she said, adding that she often wonders "where are the razors that these women are using?" when watching Jane Austen adaptations.

"They're all kind of hairless like eels. I'm like: 'What's going on? It's completely mad.'"

You hear that -- 'It's completely mad.' Margot Robbie hasn't shaved her armpits for weeks, and that scene was cut from the movie. Sadwalk

I wonder what the ladies think?
