Celebs Who Refuse To Wear Deodorant

When celebs hit the red carpet, a lot of attention is focused on the way they look, from their immaculately styled hair and makeup to their luxury designer duds. And although many famous people look absolutely magnificent whenever they step out on the scene, looks can be deceiving.

Personal hygiene is one topic that's not often discussed in the entertainment industry, because we always just assume that our favorite celebrities smell just as good as they look. But you'd be surprised by how many of them actually skip out on wearing deodorant, preferring to let their natural scent assault our nostrils instead.

Inhaling deeply while in the presence of any of the famous people on our list might make your brows furrow in disgust. However, a few of them have legit reasons as to why they've gone the all-natural route. While some are avoiding allergic reactions, others are simply opting for a natural alternative to the harsh chemicals that can be found in popular brands.

So which of Hollywood's biggest names are embracing the sweaty, sticky, and musty way of life? Keep reading to learn all about the celebs who refuse to wear deodorant.

While promoting the 2014 film The Other Woman, Cameron Diaz told E! News, "I don't believe in antiperspirant ... It's really bad for you. I haven't used it for almost 20 years."

If you're trying to wrap your head around her statement, you're not alone. Apparently, the interviewer was just as perplexed. Diaz attempted to explain herself by stating, "You're stinky, because you use antiperspirant." Wait, what? We think the actress has things a bit backwards. We smell fresh because of antiperspirant, not the other way around, right?!

When asked if even men should go without using products to keep the stench and sweat at bay, the There's Something About Mary actress replied, "Yup! Let it go and just trim your armpit hair so it doesn't hold onto the scent." Um, we'll pass.

One person who clearly isn't turned off by Diaz's natural scent is her husband, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, who described himself as a "lucky guy" for having someone like Diaz in his life ... stench and all

Part of Matthew McConaughey's appeal, aside from his acting capabilities, is his rough, rugged, "I woke up like this" appearance. Surprisingly, it takes quite a few products to get the Gold star event-ready. In a candid interview with People magazine, the actor revealed some of his go-to products, including a hair treatment to keep him from balding, tea tree oil to keep his locks looking luscious, and, of course, shampoo and conditioner. He also said that people are shocked to hear that he makes his own face and body creams. Move over, Jergens!

As for smelling so fresh and so clean, the Oscar-winning actor insisted that a man should smell like "a man," before admitting, "I haven't worn deodorant in 20 years."

We're not too sure that's something to brag about, but McConaughey, and many celebs just like him, wear their deodorant-free status like a (smelly) badge of honor.

Tom Ford is the man behind a bustling fashion and fragrance empire. He spends every waking moment ensuring the rest of the world looks and smells lovely, but when it comes to his personal life, he'd rather take a low-maintenance and no-hassle approach. The luxury brand connoisseur was promoting his Black Orchid perfume in 2007 when he revealed that he didn't wear deodorant at all. And not only that, he would prefer that the rest of us go deodorant-free, as well! "I actually love the way that human beings smell," he told New York magazine.

To describe his own natural scent, Ford said, "My smell is a little sweat, a little dog." Um, gross!

The designer went on to bash those who were so wrapped up in pleasant odors. "I think a lot of us have gotten so weird about it, especially Americans. Americans love to, like, wash away all trace of human smell," he said. "I like human smell. It's what makes us attracted to each other ... I don't like clean. I don't like the smell of soap."

When she famously showed off her dark brown underarm hair at the April 1999 premiere of Notting Hill, Julia Roberts sent the world into frenzy. Since then, the actress' underarms have taken on a life of their own. 

As a staunch supporter of living an eco-friendly life, the Pretty Woman star also incorporates green alternatives into her everyday life. In a 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey (via Huffington Post), America's sweetheart gushed about feeding her children — twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and son Henry — organic foods. She also dished about her favorite skincare products before making the bold statement,  "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."

Now, considering she rocks some impressive bushy hair under her pits, are we really supposed to be shocked that she leaves the house sans deodorant, too?

After putting on a riveting, high-intensity performance at the Powerhouse NYC concert in 2015, Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, headed backstage to cool off and chat with the hosts of Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club.

The conversation quickly took a turn when the smell emanating from him became too much for co-host Charlamagne tha God to handle. He cut Glover off mid-sentence to blatantly ask him, "You don't wear deodorant or nothing either, do you?" 

Never one to be bashful, the rapper simply answered, "No," which prompted Charlamagne tha God to respond with, "Yeah, I can tell," before his co-hosts erupted in laughter.

Glover felt the need to explain himself, so the "This Is America" artist proudly proclaimed that he was on some "hippie s**t" and rarely washed his clothes.

A piece written by Ozy in 2014 backed up the rapper's tendency to have a ripe scent. While explaining that the rapper and actor once wore the same clothes for weeks on end, the publication wrote that "his body odor matched the image of neglect." Pee-yew.
