Apparently, Gene Roddenberry had some pretty interesting predictions for the ideal future. One was that men would have “little to no body hair,” according to the book These Are the Voyages.
William Shatner had to endure an extensive chest-shaving process by the studio barber whenever he was to appear topless in a scene. Shatner wasn’t too pleased with having to film shirtless since he was allegedly embarrassed over his physique at the time. As for Spock, who also appears shirtless but with a chest full of hair in some instances, he wouldn’t count since he is technically alien.
