QuoteNEW YORK (AP) -- Harrison Ford has pulled a Steve Carell for a public service announcement: He got his chest waxed.

Harrison Ford typically doesn't appear in such TV spots.

The 65-year-old star winces in apparent pain as a strip of hair is yanked from his chest in the announcement for Conservation International to raise awareness about the effect of deforestation on global warming.

The actor, who doesn't typically appear in such TV spots, sits on the board of directors of the Washington-based environmental organization.

Conservation International CEO Peter Seligmann said Ford was game to do the 30-second spot, and approved of the waxing concept.

"I didn't have to talk him into anything," Seligmann said at a news conference Tuesday in Manhattan. "I was there when he filmed it. It really hurt. There's nothing about the expression on his face that was fake."

The classic scene from 2005's "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" -- in which Carell screams out "Kelly Clarkson!" during his chest hair removal -- was intentionally hilarious. Ford's message, however, is serious: "Every bit of rain forest that gets ripped out over there, really hurts us over here."

Ford's latest movie, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," co-starring Shia LaBeouf and Karen Allen, opens nationwide Thursday.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

he's just try'n to clean up a lil and ditch the stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder image.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I admit it I am not up on the trash TV and have no intention of becoming so informed but I am curious, who is he banging?
All my best ideas get me into trouble.

I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, 'I drank what?!'

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything..... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

+1 curious
If you cheat, cheat death. If you steal, steal a woman's heart. If you fight, fight for your brother. And if you drink, may you drink with me!

God created whiskey so the Irish wouldn't conquer the world...

Ships are made for sinking, and whiskey's made for drinking, if we were made of cellophane we'd all get stinking drunk much faster!

I think he's with Calista Flockhart, the stick from that old show Ally McBeal.
