Celebrities, by their nature, tend to live their lives in the open. This means that we often learn things about them that we didn’t expect. Lately, this seems to include the hygiene practices of everyone’s favorite celebrities and some of them have really given fans some pause. These celebrities all shared hygiene habits that fans and critics pushed back on.
Post Malone
Post Malone has long been the source of speculation that he’s a smelly guy. However, there isn’t a whole lot of concrete evidence to prove it’s as bad as everyone says.
The rumor that his manager quit working with him due to the smell only helped fuel the fire. The singer has assured fans that the rumors of his smell have been greatly exaggerated but that he chooses not to “wear any deodorant or anything.”
Jessica Simpson
No one was quite ready when Jessica Simpson told Ellen Degeneres that she only brushes her teeth about three times a week. At least she flosses and uses mouthwash daily.
Degeneres pressed her as to why and Simpson answered, “Because my teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel too slippery.” She said that she does wipe them down, though, with a t-shirt or cloth. Still, she insists that her breath stays fresh.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher and Mina Kunis recently garnered a lot of attention for their hygiene practices. They discussed it on an episode of the Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert.
Kunis stated, “When I had children, I also didn’t wash them every day. I wasn’t that parent who bathed my newborns – ever.” Ashton later added, “If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point.” Once everyone listened to the episode, plenty of people took to the internet to share their opinions.
Adele
Audiences weren’t sure what to do when Adele admitted, “I’d like to stop picking my nose, it’s a really bad habit that I have.”The revelation didn’t stop there either
She continued, “The best thing is I pick my own kid’s bogeys. Even further, she added on, “When he was a baby and had his first cold – yes we’re getting really gross now – I sucked the snot out of his nose because he was so congested.”
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey revealed that he had forgone deodorant and cologne over the last 20 years. Yet, some argue that he should probably do something to offset that. Specifically, his co-star in Fool’s Gold, Kate Hudson, found it a bit much at times.
He’s since shared that Hudson did ask him to use salt rock as an alternative to deodorant to help reduce the smell of body odor when they filmed scenes together. We wonder if he ended up taking the suggestion.
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell
In the situation with Kunis and Kutcher, Dax Shepard was actually the one to start the conversation. He stated that soap wasn’t necessary every time in the shower.
On the View, Shepard and his wife, Kristen Bell, addressed the issue again. Bell stated that she is a “big fan of waiting for the stink,” further explaining that, “Once you catch a whiff, that’s biology’s way of letting you know you need to clean it up.”
Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper has a long career of movies behind him. Still, it surprised fans to hear his hygiene admission in an Esquire interview.
The star told the interviewer that he doesn’t use deodorant. He explained that he does this because he believes that the human body is set up so that it “self-cleans.” Yet, he also said he showers about three times a day, so it could be a much worse hygiene confession.
Shia LaBeouf
Since his Disney beginnings, LeBeouf has become a rather eccentric star in Hollywood. Unfortunately, he’s also gotten some complaints about body odor.
One person to say so was Maddie Ziegler, the dancer he worked with when filming “Elastic Heart” by Sia. Later, while filming the movie Fury, he also forwent showering to get into character. While it may have worked, the cast and crew didn’t appreciate the results during the long hours shooting scenes together.
Adrienne Bailon
The last thing anyone expected from this former Cheetah Girl is a confession of questionable hygiene. Yet, she claimed that she “never gets sick” despite this upsetting tidbit.
