Toby Keith is undoubtedly a tough guy -- evident not only by his devil-may-care attitude but also by his linebacker-like stature. But here's one thing you may find surprising about the 6-foot-3 country superstar -- he manscapes!

A reporter from the Washington Post noticed smooth armpits when a sleeveless Keith raised his arms at a recent concert. So, he courageously asked Keith if he admits to shaving his underarms.

"On those summer tours, you get so hot and sweaty," Keith replied. "When I come off the stage, I have to dump water out of my boots. You just want to shave your head and get down like a swimmer, you know what I mean?"

Lucky for the reporter, Keith had a great sense of humor about the off-the-wall question.

"I think it's funny that you noticed that," he said to the reporter. "You don't have a man-crush, do you? You want to know if I shave anything else?"

Keith released his 14th studio album, 'That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy,' last Tuesday. With close to 100,000 copies sold in its first week, the CD debuted at No. 1 on the country albums charts.
