He may already be 40, but Chaz Bono has finally begun to experience that rite of passage for young guys everywhere: the first shave.
"I shave about once a week now," Bono, 40, tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview to air Thursday and Friday. "It kind of started to come in just like peach fuzz. I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.”
Chaz, the son of singer Cher and the late Sonny Bono, began the process of a sex change in March. Formerly known as Chastity, he has now had his breasts removed and is on a permanent regimen of hormones, he says.

Chastity Bono Undergoing Sex Change

Political and social activist Chastity Bono – the only child of entertainers Cher and the late Sonny Bono – began undergoing a sex change shortly after her 40th birthday on March 4.
"Cher is very supportive and has known about Chastity wanting to do this for a very long time," a source tells PEOPLE. "This will be a long process but it's something Chastity has wanted to do for many years."
Bono's spokesman, Howard Bragman, told TMZ, which first reported the story, "Yes, it's true – Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity.
"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."
