Celebrities Share Their Odd Hygiene Habits, And Fans Are Losing It

While Gyllenhaal is famous for playing an array of loopy characters (Donnie Darko, anyone?), this talented actor is not so mainstream in his real-life behavior either. During an interview, Jake revealed that he believes that "there’s a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance." Whatever you say, Jake!

Dax Shepard and his wife Kristen Bell are not fond of bath time. According to the Hollywood power couple, they and their kids "wait for the stink" before finally getting clean! Maybe that's just because they have so much on their plates!

When it comes to keeping up appearances, this pop star seems to have it all nailed down. In fact, Rihanna has developed such a positive body image that she shared a minute-long video compilation on Twitter of other celebrities talking about how good she smells! We wonder what her secret is?

This Jonas brother is very particular when it comes to personal cleanliness. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nick stipulated that he takes exactly 12.5 minutes to shower! He also uses cologne and moisturizer as part of the process.

She may be a vision of beauty, but this model-turned-actress may not smell as sweet as she looks! After all, Charlize admitted during an interview with David Letterman that she would have no problem going a week without showering. Granted, she is a busy mom.

Brad Pitt may be a Hollywood sex symbol, but his strange hygiene practices could see him lose that title. With six kids, Brad often finds that he has little free time on his hands. As a result, he uses wet wipes to keep clean, rather than taking regular showers. "Man, I'm getting [peed] on all day," the exhausted actor revealed.

This Marvel and 8 Mile star has revealed that he is absolutely bathing-obsessed! In addition to owning a custom-made shower that has been tailored to his hygiene needs, Anthony oils his body before stepping inside so that the steam helps to keep his skin extra moisturized.

Sadly, bathing isn't a luxury that everyone gets to experience. When Mila Kunis was growing up in Ukraine, her family didn't have hot water. As a result, she didn't shower very often. But Kunis admitted that even as she and Ashton Kutcher have become major successes, the couple and their children only wash when the need arises.

While Captain Jack Sparrow is one grubby pirate, the man who portrays him isn't exactly Mr. Clean himself! Johnny Depp is not one for regular showers — in fact, he has admitted that personal hygiene is just not a priority in his busy life.

This fitness fanatic is just as obsessed with washing as he is with hitting the gym. In addition to showering every morning after waking up, Jordan also washes after every gym session. Considering that he will work out between two and three times per day, there are very few hours in the day when the Black Panther star isn't smelling fresh!

This actress and model knows exactly how to pamper herself during a tough day. Barbie takes two baths a day, giving the Euphoria star a chance to unwind, while also remaining fresh and vitalized.

In his role as Captain America, Chris has become an inspiration to children worldwide. But even when he's not on the big screen, the blockbuster movie star proves himself to be a worthy role model by always finding time to shower. In his own words, Chris proclaimed that he is "a very clean person."

The Rock is hellbent on remaining fresh! Johnson revealed on Twitter that he takes a cold shower in the morning, followed by a warm rinse after working out, and finally a hot shower when he gets home from work. What's more, he follows a consistent skincare routine, consisting of face wash, body wash, and exfoliator.

In addition to being a leading lady, Julia Roberts is also incredibly environmentally conscious. So much so, in fact, that her bodyguard once revealed that the actress often avoids showering in order to save water. While this tendency may seem sketchy, the pretty woman has embraced a noble cause nonetheless.

Some Hollywood stars take method acting to a whole new level. In order to fully embrace his role as a tank gunner in the war movie Fury, Shia stopped showering for the duration of filming! Hopefully, he went back to his regular routine after production wrapped.

Known for his dashing looks and charming demeanor, Robert Pattinson is the last person you would expect to ignore personal hygiene norms. Astonishingly, the Twilight star has admitted that he once went six weeks without washing his hair! "I don't really see the point in washing your hair," the British heartthrob explained. 

As her fans might expect, this superstar rapper voiced her own opinion on the highly debated topic of hygiene. "Wassup with people saying they don't shower? It's giving itchy," Cardi B tweeted in her typical cryptic manner.

Considering his active lifestyle, Zac's aversion to showering may come as a surprise to many. Instead, the former High School Musical star prefers to freshen up with baby wipes, even after a sweaty gym session!

As the America's Got Talent host bravely admitted, he sweats a lot, especially due to spending so much of his time running to work and exercising. Crews often takes three showers per day in order to keep his sweat under control. "If you've been sweating you don't need to shower, but I spend all day sweating, running, and working out, and it ain't nice," he revealed in an interview.

In addition to limiting her water usage, Roberts isn't a big fan of antiperspirant. “I don’t actually use deodorant. I don’t like to share that with a lot of people. It’s just never been my thing,” she said on Oprah in 2008. Apparently, in the celebrity world “not sharing something with a lot of people” in actual fact means “going on TV and talking about it.”

Bradley Cooper also chooses not to wear deodorant, believing instead that the body “self-cleans.” On the other hand, he is considered among the sexiest men in the world, so presumably even a bit of body odor shouldn’t hinder his career too much.

Emma Stone is one of the cutest girl-next-door types in Hollywood, but she has a dark secret: there’s “something off about” her smell. Furthermore, if she uses body wash, she says, she ends up smelling like pot. Still, there have been no complaints – yet – from any of her co-stars.

Is it really surprising that headline-grabbing lothario Russell Brand doesn’t have the best hygiene? A former flame of the comedian’s, Jasmine Lennard, told fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestants that when she went to Brand’s house he was “standing there in these boxer shorts that were soiled” like a “dirty pigeon.”

Matthew McConaughey, meanwhile, has two rules regarding his smell. “No cologne, no deodorant.” Because, apparently, he doesn’t like “to smell like someone or something else.” Plus, he insists that this strange routine is working out for him and that the women in his life don’t mind.

The late Joan Rivers – never one to mince words – once said of Russell Crowe, “He has a body odor problem. I prefer to sit downwind of him at showbiz bashes.” What’s more, no denial of this has ever come from Crowe.

Many celebrities have weird beauty regimes going on, but Snooki has one of the most gross-sounding: rubbing cat litter on her face to give it a shine. In fairness, she made it clear that it needs to be clean cat litter, but still.

In 2011 Star Magazine invited stylists to anonymously share who the worst-smelling people in Hollywood were. And it turned out that one of the worst offenders was former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson, who apparently “smells like urine most of the time” and “never takes a shower.”

Newscaster Anderson Cooper is a bit of a sex symbol, but he might be less of one if people knew how seldom he washed his clothes. Yes, in order to preserve “the integrity” of his denim jeans, Cooper only cleans them a few times a year, and even then, it’s with cold water and no soap.

David Arquette once let slip some TMI details about his former wife Courteney Cox in an interview. “Courtney may be pretty, but if she’s not on top of it, she smells like a truck driver and I like it,” he said. He may well have liked it – but the couple are divorced now.

Singer Lorde has very impressive hair, but apparently, she keeps it that way by not washing it. “My hair is wild and what you do to maintain it is – don’t wash it that often. Once every two weeks is a good vibe.” Doesn’t sound like a good plan in the long run though.

While Shailene Woodley has got a reputation for being a bit of a hippie chick, judging by some of her comments, that reputation is well deserved. She only shampoos her hair “like once a month – the oilier, the better.” If you say so, Shailene.

Though it has often been rumored that Britney Spears doesn’t pay much attention to hygiene, confirmation of sorts came in 2004 when she removed her shoes while on a flight. Consequently, her fellow passengers quickly began to complain because her feet smelled so bad.

While playing Truth or Dare at the 2015 Grammys, singer-actress Ciara let slip an unfortunate secret. She said, “How often do I wash my hair? Ooh, now, that is so bad because, if I’m gonna be honest, I will go a good two weeks without washing my hair.” Eek.

Sure, he looks good, but how does his breath smell? Johnny Depp’s smells so bad, apparently, that Angelina Jolie made him wash his mouth out with Listerine before she kissed him in The Tourist. Because that’s what smoking does to you.

While Gwyneth Paltrow famously follows a healthy, hippie, vaguely superior-sounding lifestyle, there’s a price to pay. Apparently, thanks to her refusal to wear aluminium-based deodorants, the actress sometimes stinks to high heaven.

Jessica Simpson brushes her teeth a mere three times a week for fear that they’ll get “too slippery.” What’s more, every now and then she ditches the toothbrush and opts to clean them “with a shirt or something.” Yet she inexplicably has a beautiful smile – and that’s just plain unfair.

Megan Fox may be a modern-day sex symbol... but’s she also kinda gross. “I don’t clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, ‘Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.’” Ewww.
