In a remarkably frank interview with Glamour UK, 24-year-old Emma Corrin told the magazine that she hopes to normalise underarm hair for women. Featured on the cover of Glamour Uk, Corrin proudly shows some dark tufts of hair sprouting from her armpits.
She told the publication, 'I've been meaning to grow it for years, but I'm recently single'.I’ve been in a relationship and I guess I was programmed to think that I should probably shave for the benefit of both parties”.
'It’s been quite an underwhelming realisation that there’s no drama in it. It’s just there. I’m hoping it’s on the path to becoming normal.'
Corrin has been earning rave reviews for her portrayal of the complex and iconic Princess Diana in the Netflix series The Crown. The long-awaited fourth season premiered Sunday night.
Emma reveals to Glamour that the topic of body image took on a new meaning for her while playing Lady Di at the height of her battle with bulimia. She said,'Diana’s bulimia was a way of purging all the emotion that she didn't know how to control.'
