Actress Michelle Rodriguez was seen flaunting her growing armpit hair and has described it as "yum" in a photograph that she shared on social media.

The "Fast and Furious" actress wrote: "Grew my armpit hairs. Gotta love it ... Hmm yum (sic)"

Rodriguez had discussed being typecast as a tomboy, having consistently portrayed tough female characters on the big screen.

"If I decided I didn't want to be typecast tomorrow, I'd just do an indie film where I play some poor girl who goes through some excruciating experience and win myself an award for crying or being raped.

"But at the end of the day, I'm not in it for the acting. I only want to be someone I respect or someone that I consider interesting or fun. I'm here to entertain people and make a statement about female empowerment and strength," Rodriguez said.
