Levi Johnston Criticized for Having "Hairy Armpits" in Playgirl

Monday – November 23, 2009 – 12:02pm

Levi Johnston's much-anticipated Playgirl photos made their debut Saturday -- and critics were split when asked by Usmagazine.com to weigh in on the 19-year-old's PG-13 poses.

See more stars who aren't afraid to take it off

Chippendales dancer Nathan Minor (who has posed in more than 100 photo spreads, including the 2010 calendar):
"The only problem -- his hairy armpits! We take only mostly shaved guys. He should also focus on his diet to help him get a bit harder. He doesn't have to go the fitness-y hard look, but he could tighten up a little bit. His body is a little soft. But he has good hair and a great face. He's definitely Chippendales material. Anytime he wants to do the show, he's more than welcome!"

Check out before-and-after photos of Hollywood's hunks!

Playgirl writer Jamye Waxman:
"As a woman, I think the shots are tasteful, but of course, I would have loved to have seen it all! I think it's hard to get a 19-year-old to do 'sexy' and really get it. At 19, you know how to show off your still-tight body, but do you actually know how to use your sexuality? I feel like you really develop your sexual energy and attitude in your 20s and 30s, so Levi has a way to go before he's completely comfortable in his body. He doesn't have much chest hair, does he? I like a bit more chest hair."

Jim McBride, creator of MrSkin.com:
"I do appreciate the tan lines. That look takes me back to my secret Playboy collection from the '70s."

Check out pics of more stars who are too tan

David Leddick, author of Nude Male and Escort: 40 Profiles with Photographs of Men Who Sell Sex:
"My book Escort features guys who are selling their bodies. Levi has a nice body, but he's not in that league at all. He doesn't have what it takes to get $150 an hour. His best feature is his face. He has something in his face. Were I Levi, I'd want to be an actor for camera, not stage. I'd pursue a career in acting. If he's got the right management, he should try to act. He's not so different from Clark Gable, Gary Cooper -- a lot of major stars who didn't come from a superior background. He's got something -- you can go all the way with a great face."

Edward Norwick, general manager of New York City's Scores strip club:
"I've seen a lot of naked women, and I could see a woman in those poses with those facial looks. His expressions are a little effeminate. I would have approached it with a more macho image, not quite as sensitive. His head is turned coyly to the camera with doe eyes! I had hoped for his first shoot, it would be a little more rugged -- a man's man. A little more like Burt Reynolds."

Take a look at Hollywood's wildest stripper scandals

David Todd, Men's Director, Nous Model Management:
"He's a great looking young man, but he definitely needs to slim down more if he wants to sign with a high-fashion agency. He’s got to get those cheekbones showing, he's got to get his body toned down. You have to be at least six feet [tall] or six-one for high-fashion [modeling]. Levi might go more towards commercial print, maybe endorsing a product, like Axe cologne or something like that, instead of doing a huge print campaign for Tom Ford."

Jon Barrett, editor-in- chief of The Advocate:
"He has such a lumberjack-like persona in clothes that I expected to see more of that -- including the log -- in the Playgirl pics. Instead, we see a Levi who's playing a coy game of peek-a-boo. This is certainly no 'northern exposure.'"

    Natural is hot, shaved is not. Any dude who shaves his own armpits might as well be a woman. And probably is in bed.
  • December 14, 2009 - 6:37pm Coco Says:

    I don't believe in those kind of "Men" who shave all, Do you imagine a guy with his leg up shaving, and shaving his b u t t s..? That's looks really weird...!!! Sweety, may I use your wax today..? Please can you shave my b u t t ..??? WEIRD...!!!!

    Ok I don't know about most women but when I see I guy, I want to see a MAN. What is this crap about no hair? Men are supposed to be hairy, maybe not like wolverine but a little is fine. I don't want a little boy LOL

  • November 30, 2009 - 4:50pm L Says:

    LOL- really? armpit hair? I'd be more concerned if he DIDN'T have it. Men are supposed to have body hair... just no pics of the bun fuzz. :)

    "She obviously has no class at all and will do anything for money. I guess she has to sell her body, she certainly has no brains." change the pronoun and it applies 100% to Palin, the liar.

    I don't like it when men shave their bodies/pits - it's too feminine. It's time for that dumb trend to go away. Levi looks fine the way he is.

    men are supposed to have hair, on the legs and arm pits!!!
  • November 29, 2009 - 11:02pm brandon Says:

    Come on, Natahan Minor! Guys with shaved armpits are disgusting and not manly at all!!! That's why Chippendale models armpits are not sexy cuz' they shaved them! Levi's pits is so hot, sexy and masculine!!!
  • November 29, 2009 - 9:52pm Judas Says:

    Please. A man SHOULD have hairy armpits. It's more sexy. Don't push your opinion to people.
  • November 29, 2009 - 8:29pm Mark Says:

    Men who shave their armpits are not masculine to me. Why would a MAN shave there? What's next, men shaving their legs? I hope Levi keeps his armpit hair like a real man would.
  • November 29, 2009 - 5:08pm Renee Says:

    He's hot! He's supposed to have hairy armpits. HE'S A GUY! One word - YUM
  • November 29, 2009 - 2:57pm Greg Curry Says:

    Stop hatin people.... Regardless of what people think about this young dude he is doing the same thing Palin is doing. He is prostituting his assets for the money. While I don't agree with the path he is taking I must say he's young, uneducated and does not have much experience in many aspects of life. He is very good looking though and with time he will be even better looking. He is following in the footsteps of what he has seen as a youth from a broken home. He is using whatever means necessary to get rich. What is his would have been mother-in-laws excuse?
  • November 29, 2009 - 2:22pm JOHN Says:

    What is this obsession Hollywood has with removing all natural body hair? Except on top of the head, that's when actors wear bad toupees because they have lost that hair NATURALLY. Why are we trying so hard to make ourselves into images of who we are not?
  • November 27, 2009 - 1:53am Melin Says:

    Men who shave their bodies look very GAY.
  • November 26, 2009 - 1:05pm KarmaCop Says:

    Hair arm pits or not, 19 is not sexy. He's a boy. He hasn't had the life experiences yet to make him worldly enough to be sexy. Plus, he's a tattle tale. Nothing sexy about that.
  • November 25, 2009 - 11:27pm eloquencia Says:

    he's a loser.. and i can't believe the author compared him to clark gable or cary grant!!!! uggghhh.. what is this world coming to?

    When a man without a shirt on raises his arms, his underarms should be filled with hair, completely natural. Levi is handsome with an awesome athletic physique. I congratulate Levi and Playgirl magazine for having him remain completely natural in his photos. A man should present himself with full eyebrows, full underarms hair, full pubic hair, legs hair, and so forth. This completely natural appearance is masculine and sexy. A man should not be trimming or shaving or plucking or waxing. I realize that everyone has a look that works for them, but my vote is for the completely natural man from head to foot.
