Excessive Sweating from 10 Excessively Famous People

Everyone sweats. But if you’re a celebrity, a high-profile athlete, the latest starlet to slink her way to Hollywood fame, or just someone who’s always in the public eye, excessive sweating could be your undoing.

Many people suffer from excessive sweating and if you are one of them, you might be relieved to find out that even the rich, famous, or notorious sweat a lot, too. It’s shocking (they’re rich! Surely money can do something for their sweaty pits!), it’s hilarious (does their sweat smell the same as yours?), and it’s interesting (who knew excessive sweating is one thing the ugly and the beautiful share?). Whatever view you take, there’s no denying that excessive sweating is a great equalizer. Embarrassed because you can’t step out without your clothes getting damp from excessive sweating? Well, you share the same problem with several Hollywood darlings!

Here’s a roundup of top 10 famous sweaters.

1. Halle Berry. No one is perfect but Halle Berry comes darn close. She’s beautiful and talented and even more envy-inspiring, she sizzles! But even the former beauty queen, fashion model, and now award-winning actress perspires. Here’s proof of how horrific excessive sweating can look in photos. Everyone, say hello to Halle Berry’s armpits.



2. America Ferrera. Ugly Betty isn’t really looking ugly these days but there’s no denying she sweats all over the place. Excessive sweating, much?

Fortunately for America Ferrera, she has a lot going for her despite her excessive sweating. Time Magazine picked her as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. When she’s not making movies or soaps, she studies International Relations at the University of Southern California. Here’s hoping she finds a way to deal with perspiration as she studies International Relations —— and soon!



3. Robert Pattinson. He sends teenage girls everywhere swooning. But will they swoon still when they find out he has a problem? And that this problem is excessive sweating?


4. Sophie Merceau. Bond Girl Sophie Merceau is riveting… and like Pattinson, is guilty of excessive sweating! But even dark sweat stains can’t put a dent into this beauty’s loveliness and she continues to beguile (sultry stare, brown hair, sweat stains, and all!) even from a mile.


5. Meg Ryan. Once upon a time, Meg Ryan was America’s sweetheart. Fans fell in love when she did, cried when she cried, but no, few of them sweat the way she did. Then again, that’s no surprise. Excessive sweating of this kind isn’t easy to pull off! If I didn’t know who Meg is, I’d be terrified. Meg Ryan, what has your sweat glands done to you?


6. Helena Christen. Supermodels sweat. Helena Christensen is proof that some of them sweat more than others.


7. Tara Reid. Tara the Wild does strange things, we all know that. But do you know excessive sweating is one of those things? Yes, the little blonde counts excessive sweating as one of her nifty little excesses, along with partying like there’s no tomorrow, getting boob jobs, and showing up about town half-dressed.


8. Serena Williams. The Williams sisters are famous for many things - hardcore tennis, family drama, bad fashion, and now heavy perspiration. While it’s pretty much a given for athletes to sweat a storm while at play, this tennis borg shows she’s unusually gifted at excessive sweating even when she’s not playing.


9. Daniela Hantuchova. This Slovak and tennis pro may not have an excessive sweating problem. It’s true she sweats truckloads while at play but hey, who’s minding? She’s one of the few who can make sweating look fashionable.


10. Cameron Diaz. Cameron is cute and corky and sometimes, excessively sweaty. Who knew this Charlie’s angel is capable of excessive sweating? But she is and here’s proof of it. Still and all, Cam could get away with many things, even excessive sweating, thanks to that wide grin and Picasso eyes.


So now you know, it’s not just ordinary people like you and I who have problems with sweating. Celebrities and star athletes do, too. Anyone can suffer from hyperhidrosis and no one knows this better than Mike Ramsey. A profuse sweater himself, Ramsey came up with the Stop Sweating and Start Living system through trial and error and as a result of his personal experience. He shares how he regained control over his stained confidence and his sopping armpits. The system Ramsey discovered is said to be unique, practical, and so simple it takes no more than 30 seconds daily to implement.

Is Ramsey’s system for you? There’s only one way to find out: try it. When you do, you can see if the program that worked effectively in stopping Ramsey’s excessive sweating will work the same wonders for you. In the meantime, I’ll hold my breath and continue celebrity sweat spotting.
