Washington, April 24 (ANI): Actor Harrison Ford has shown his staunch support for environment protection in a rather novel way by getting his chest waxed.

The Indiana Jones star subjected himself to the painful beauty treatment in an effort to showcase the pain involved in deforestation.

Ford said that his only intention behind the act was to raise awareness about the conversion of global forested areas.

The actor is the vice chair of the global environment group Conservation International, reports Contactmusic.

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown was a spectator as the event was filmed by Access Hollywood. (ANI)
