While a lot of users commented on the adorable family snap for its sweet carefree feel, the usual trolls of the internet took the opportunity to pass judgement on his mum and her decision not to shave her body hair.
Comments included ‘I can see the resemblance. He has his mother’s armpits’, ‘Oh those pits’ and ‘I know what you feminists are going to say “She doesn’t have to shave if she doesn’t want to!” And she doesn’t have to. But OMG.’
Meanwhile, the debate got more heated while some users argued why this had become the topic of conversation:
Either way, two people raised a son encouraging his talent and care for the world and judging by his decision to take his mum to the Oscars – we’re guessing he’s grateful for every single day he spent with her.
Shockingly, her armpit hair probably didn’t have a negative effect on his career.
