Stars With Awful Personal Hygiene

If you're a rich and famous star, chances are you have no problem affording things like soap, shampoo, and deodorant, right? With the money a Hollywood paycheck racks in, cleanliness seems a small cost to pay to keep up red carpet appearances. Some A-listers aren't so convinced, however, and it may surprise the public to know that many of them are surprisingly some of the biggest and most popular stars of movies and TV.

Would you believe one of the stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe supposedly has bad body odor? What about two beautiful cast members of one of the most successful sitcoms of all time? Well, one of them supposedly has the tendency to smell "like a trucker," which the other allegedly used to do some particularly private "ladyscaping" right on the couch she shared with a roommate. Heinous, right?

This list goes on and on, and it actually gets worse from there. In fact, some stars are straight up gross. Let's take a look at Tinseltown's A-list, and how some celebs get a get a big fat F when it comes to personal hygiene.

Remember how actor Gwyneth Paltrow swore off ever going to the Met Gala again in 2013? The Oscar winner complained that the scene was too hot and sweaty for her, but it turns out it was probably an even worse experience for anyone who stood next to her. "Poor Gwyneth looked picture-perfect, but it must have been the hot lights that caused her to be a little strong on the nose," an insider told the National Enquirer (via Buzzfeed). "It was pretty pungent, and I don't think she had a clue. I saw at least two people wave their hands in front of their noses after passing her."

A friend of the actor made an excuse for her, telling the tab, "Gwyneth has heard that aluminum is supposedly carcinogenic, and that putting an aluminum-based deodorant directly on those sensitive armpit glands can increase the chances of breast cancer. She's trying out new deodorants; she's bound to fail with some of them ... but Gwyneth tells pals she'd rather be smelly than dead." For the record, the American Cancer Society disagrees with Paltrow, with the organization saying there has been no scientific link between aluminum-based antiperspirants and cancer.

It turns out that the former Sexiest Man Alive doesn't subscribe to a certain modern hygiene practice. Actor Matthew McConaughey told People (via the New York Daily News) that he hasn't worn deodorant in 20 years. "I don't like to smell like someone or something else," he said, adding, "If my smell starts to bother someone else, I'll take a shower."

One person it bothered? His "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" co-star, Kate Hudson. McConaughey told Playboy (via the Boston Herald), "She always brings a salt rock, which is some natural deodorant, and says, 'Will you please put this on?'"

Not all of McConaughey's co-stars have found his smell to be off-putting, however. Actor Yvette Nicole Brown Smith starred alongside the "Failure to Launch" star in the 2008 comedy, "Tropic Thunder," and admitted she had doubts about his hygiene after he admitted to not using antiperspirant in two decades. She was pleasantly surprised about his scent, however, revealing on the SiriusXM "Jess Cagle Show," "He smells like granola and good living, that's all I can say. He has a sweet, sweet scent that is just him and it's not musty or crazy."

America's sweetheart supposedly stinks. Actor Julia Roberts told Oprah (via HuffPost) in 2008, "I don't actually use deodorant ... It's just never been my thing." It's a surprising statement coming from the stunning starlet, who captured the heart of Richard Gere in "Pretty Woman," but at least Matthew McConaughey and Gwyneth Paltrow have a friend in the hygiene (or lack thereof) department.

That's not all the "Ticket to Paradise" star avoids, either. The starlet isn't the biggest fan of soap as well. A former security guard for the pretty lady told Star (via Life & Style), "Julia is a total hippie. She'll go days without showering. She likes to save water — she's really green. And she likes the smell of her natural oils." The guard added, "She also says that she can't wash her hair too often because it's so dry. She may have a point there, but she often gets musty." Regardless, whatever hygiene habits Roberts chooses to follow haven't stopped her from appearing dazzling on and off the big screen.

Actor Russell Crowe's body odor is reportedly as foul as his temper. Joan Rivers once said, "He has a body odor problem. I prefer to sit downwind of him at showbiz bashes." (Technically, Rivers probably would have been better off sitting upwind, right?) Insiders claimed to the National Enquirer in 2004 that after repeated pleas for better hygiene on the set of "Cinderella Man," co-star Renee Zellweger insisted on a body double for anything intimate.

One of Crowe's buddies justified the actor's odor. "Russell is just an ordinary bloke and he certainly doesn't have a hygiene problem," the pal said. "If you stand really close to him you may catch the occasional whiff of alcohol and curry after a night on the town. But you show me a normal, down-to-earth bloke who isn't like that the morning after he's had a few beers and some good grub."

Hollywood is full of A-listers against antiperspirants, apparently, and who better to lead the pack but Cameron Diaz? The actor, who's often seen sporting pit stains on the red carpet, told E! News, "I don't believe in antiperspirant. It's really bad for you. I haven't used it for almost 20 years. You're stinky, because you use antiperspirant. It keeps all the stink in." She advised, "Let it go and just trim your armpit hair so it doesn't hold onto the scent."

Deodorant isn't the only thing Diaz has a strong opinion on, either. The "Charlie's Angels" star detailed her preference for pubic hair in her book, "The Body Book" (via Cosmopolitan), admitting that she's strongly against lasering off hair ... down there. "Pubes keep the goods private, which can entice a lover to come and take a closer look at what you have to offer," she wrote.

After receiving some blowback over her comments, she clarified further, admitting on "The Graham Norton Show," "I don't care what women do with it, but we should be informed about how their bodies work," adding, "It [pubic hair] is there for a reason and to laser it off is to lose it forever!"

For someone who plays a pirate sailing the seven seas, it's not hard to believe that actor Johnny Depp may not keep up with a regular hygiene routine. After all, who is worried about showering regularly when there's pirate gold to be plundered, right? Depp has a lot more in common with his on-screen character Jack Sparrow than fans may have originally imagined, given that reports suggest he isn't the biggest fan of being spick-and-span.

Depp isn't alone, however, as his ex, singer Vanessa Paradis allegedly doesn't see the big deal about bathing either. "Johnny usually smells because he rarely showers," a source told Fox News (via Celebitchy). "He isn't big on personal cleanliness and Vanessa isn't much different. They found their perfect match in each other — it's hard to be around them. Their personal hygiene is not their priority."

Megan Fox may be known for her stunning beauty and for being one of Hollywood's most iconic sex symbols, but her hygiene habits may surprise you. Apparently, one of the world's most beautiful women has surprisingly low standards when it comes to her cleanliness.

The actor told FHM (via Hollywood.com) that her poor memory makes for some awkward (and awful-smelling) situations. "I forget to flush the toilet," she confessed. "Friends will tell me, 'Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn't flush.'"

The "Jennifer's Body" star also revealed that she's not exactly an ideal roommate either. "I'm horrible to live with," she confessed (via Koi Moi). "I don't clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off." Machine Gun Kelly doesn't seem to mind, however. After all, it's what's in the heart — and not in the hygiene habits — that truly counts, right?

Former "Girls Next Door" star and Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson is beautiful, but supposedly smells hideous. A source told Star (via Kiss FM), "Kendra loves to look sexy, but she couldn't care less how she smells. I don't know if she has pets but she smells like urine most of the time. She almost never takes a shower, and doesn't use perfume, either."

The token tomboy is not afraid to dish out the details of her bathroom habits either. In 2016, the model took to X (via Daily Mail) to air out her dirty laundry, tweeting, "Omg I gotta take a s*** so bad n no bathrooms around me rt now [sic]." She took it a step further when she added, "It's so bad. That feeling where it comes n goes but when it comes feels like a contraction [sic]." Wilkinson eventually made it to a bathroom, letting fans know, "The weird thing is nothing came out." No one asked, Kendra.

Brad Pitt may be one of Hollywood's token golden boys, but that doesn't mean he always has time to shower. The actor's "Inglourious Basterds" co-star Eli Roth told People the hunk's busy schedule doesn't exactly leave him with a lot of time to freshen up, which has him resorting to fast-hacks.

"He shared that when you're sweating and don't have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits," Roth revealed. "After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're ripe.' I said, 'I didn't have time to shower.' He said, 'Baby wipes, man, baby wipes. I got six kids. All you've got to do is just take them, a couple quick wipes under the pits. Man, I'm getting [peed] on all day. I don't have time to take a shower.'" We can't help but wonder, is this a new take on "method acting?"

Britney Spears may have once been the princess of pop, but a source claims she's not exactly as glamorous behind the scenes. Whether she was distracted with her highly contested conservatorship or simply worse for wear, the "Toxic" singer's former bodyguard, Fernando Flores, claimed that the "Baby One More Time" singer had some less than appealing hygiene habits.

"Spears had obnoxious personal habits, such as chain-smoking cigarettes, which made her smell continually of stale tobacco," he claimed in lawsuit documents from 2011 obtained by the Mirror. "She broke wind or picked her nose unselfconsciously and unapologetically ... She did not bathe for days on end, did not use deodorant, did not brush her teeth, did not fix her hair, did not wear shoes or socks." Spears' camp denied the claims, but we have seen her strolling barefoot in a gas station bathroom.

Bradley Cooper may be in good company, along with stars like Cameron Diaz, Matthew McConaughey, and Julia Roberts who have sworn off antiperspirants. By the looks of it, it seems like the entire Hollywood bunch may opt for their natural odors over store-bought deodorant any day now. The "Star is Born" actor confessed that he might stink, but he's taking steps to compensate for it ... just not the most obvious step to fix the problem.

"I don't use deodorant really anymore," the "War Dogs" star admitted to Esquire. "I do take a lot of showers, so maybe that helps. In the morning and then at night. And after I work out, I'll take a shower. So maybe three a day."

Hey, at least he's doing something, right? He can always take a page out of Brad Pitt's book and try using baby wipes to compensate for his odor ... or simply embrace his "granola" stench like McConaughey.

Orlando Bloom's alleged grossness is what may have led to his divorce from model Miranda Kerr, at least according to Star (via Metro). A source claimed Kerr "asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often." Yikes, doesn't he know a Victoria's Secret model when he sees one? The insider claimed the Pirates of the Caribbean hero will "wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks."

Bloom's unkempt hygiene is allegedly aided by his pets as well. The source revealed that the actor allows his dog to sleep in the bed with him, resulting in a slobber-fest that adds to his bad odor. He's in good company, however, as he can always hang out with his former co-star Johnny Depp when he wants to shamelessly avoid grooming.

Reality star Kourtney Kardashian is beautiful, but according to baby daddy Scott Disick, she has a tendency to smell really ugly. In 2013, while breastfeeding daughter Penelope, she allegedly decided to forgo deodorant completely, leading Disick to complain about her stench. "She reeks. Only because she doesn't believe in wearing deodorant because she thinks it's bad for her breastfeeding or something," The Lord said on an episode of "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" (via Daily Mail).

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star is known for being passionate about natural products, so much so that her Poosh blog is constantly toting her favs. She took matters into her own hands while filming "KKTM" (via E! News) when she attempted to make her own deodorant out of baking soda and cornstarch. While the effectiveness of homemade deodorant has mixed reviews, Disick is definitely not a supporter. "It's uncomfortable," Disick complained. "You don't want to tell somebody you love that they stink."

Musician Harry Styles may be handsome, but rumor has it, he doesn't smell as good as he looks. Everyone farts (even A-listers), but Styles' flatulence has his bandmates crying out for help.

Louis Tomlinson previously said, "I dislike it when Harry farts and then pretends it's not him for literally 10 minutes." It's not just the singer's farts that's offensive, the singer reportedly doesn't maintain proper hygiene habits, either. The Daily Star reported that his ex, songstress Taylor Swift, reportedly complained that Styles "had the worst breath, like coffee, cigarettes, and booze."

His former bandmate Zayn Malik also spoke up about Styles, telling Top of the Pops (via Inquisitr), "I don't think there's enough money on this earth that would make me sniff Harry's socks!" Given his sultry good looks and his even sexier vocals, that's gotta be hard for fans of the "Watermelon Sugar" star to accept.

While it clearly didn't contribute to their divorce, but David Arquette once revealed a startling tidbit about his now-ex-wife Courteney Cox's grooming habits — or lack thereof. He said in an interview (via The Sun), "Courteney may be pretty, but if she's not on top of it, she smells like a truck driver and I like it." Considering Cox played neat freak Monica Gellar on "Friends," and apparently has a pretty sweet-looking master bathroom, her odious odor is even more curious.

To be fair, Cox has gotten even lower maintenance with age. She told New Beauty magazine in June 2017 that after going overboard, she got all of her cosmetic facial fillers dissolved, explaining, "I'm as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was. I hope I do." Asked how she treats her body, Cox said she was getting into "dry brushing." Is that good for trucker smell?

A story about Post Malone's manager quitting because the "Circles" singer smelled so bad went viral, but the entire thing was a hoax. Whether or not Posty actually stinks, enough people believed the rumor that they stared nominated him to be on the reboot of "Queer Eye" in summer 2018 (via Buzzfeed). Amazingly, Malone nearly got the reality TV scrubbing he perhaps doesn't even need, when Queer Eye star Karamo Brown pondered in a since-deleted tweet, "Lol why does everyone want @PostMalone to be on the show. Did he request it?" Malone's characteristically self-deprecating reply? "No they just think I'm ugly and smell lol. love the show tho guys, keep crushing it."

A few months earlier, Malone tackled the same topic in a video for GQ, when he answered fans' most asked questions on social media. When one asked "What does Post Malone smell like?" he replied, "I smell good. I smell like a normal person. A lot of ladies say that they love my musk. I won't wear any deodorant or anything, but I have a musk, and it's just kind of, like, naturally enticing to females." To really drive the point home, he added, "But I don't smell bad. That's a common misconception."

Kesha cleans up beautifully, but she doesn't always bother to do so. Much of her self-deprecation about her smell is likely in jest, however. She told BBC Radio 1 (via The New Zealand Herald) in 2013 that people around her tell her, "'You smell weird, what's that smell?' I smell like a hobo. One time, someone told me I smelt like a shrimp on a diaper. I thought I could make a fragrance that was little like a shrimp on a Faberge diaper but I don't know if people want to smell like that."

In her MTV documentary series, "Kesha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," the "Praying" singer drinks her own urine. Seriously. She explained of the gross moment, "I was told drinking my own pee was good, I was trying to be healthy. Somebody tried to take my pee away from me and I said, 'That is mine!' So I snatched it up and took a chug and it was really gross so I don't do it anymore." Here's hoping she brushed her teeth with more than a bottle of Jack after that.

"Gossip Girl" stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick played glamorous teenagers living over-the-top lives on-screen for years. Everything from their wardrobe to their grooming habits was immaculate in their fictional Upper West Side lives, but the actors were allegedly living a far different story when the cameras stopped rolling.

Sources told the New York Daily News that Gossip Girl stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick were anything but tidy when they shared an apartment while filming the show. "It stinks," a disgusted insider claimed. "Those boys are slovenly and have garbage and clothes everywhere. You'd think they were living in a frat house!"

Sources told Us Weekly that Westwick was to blame for the unkempt living situation, leading Crawford to move out of their space. "Chace couldn't stand to live with Ed anymore because he's filthy so he's now renting a place on his own," the insider alleged (via Lainey Gossip).

While some stars' bad breath may be due to a lack of upkeep or poor hygiene habits, it's unusual that a star would ever try to purposefully cultivate a stank breath. Don't put it past Jennifer Lawrence, however, as the actor admitted that she has gone to significant lengths to make her breath smell bad.

During an episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Lawrence's "Hunger Games" co-star Liam Hemsworth spilled the beans on what it was like to kiss the blonde bombshell. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't all that many fans assumed it might be like. "Anytime I had to kiss Jennifer was pretty uncomfortable," Hemsworth admitted, clarifying that while he considers her one of his best friends, kissing her was a different story. "If we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting," he explained.

The "Last Song" actor revealed that Lawrence would often let him know what exactly she had eaten and that she hadn't bothered to brush her teeth before the scene. "Fantastic," Hemsworth said sarcastically, "I can't wait to get in there and taste it!" Since there's no word from Lawrence's camp on tuna gate, fans might have to take Hemsworth's word for it.

When it comes to getting into the spirit of their character, some actors go to great lengths to assume their roles — even if it means sacrificing their hygiene. Such was the case for Maria Bakalova, who went above and beyond while filming "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," and not in the way some fans may think

In an interview with Collider, Bakalava admitted that she had to arrive unkempt for screen tests while working alongside her co-star Sacha Barron Cohen. "I remember that some of [the production team] advised me, 'Don't be clean, don't prepare yourself to look pretty or to be glam or something. Try to not take [a] shower,'" the actor admitted. Bakalova heeded their advice, even though it meant she had to show up on the set of another film she had been working on in the same state.

She took matters into her own hands to create a foul home-made concoction. "So I made something super smelly, stinky with banana peels, old eggs, vinegar, old olive oil, onions. And I mixed it and it was probably the worst smell that you can ever imagine," she shared. "And I put it all over me, and I started hugging and touching people for [goodbyes], and they were like, 'Okay, this is not an actor, for sure.'" Thankfully, Bakalova's hard work and rancid odor paid off — as she ended up landing the part.

While some celebrities will go to great lengths for great skin, some fans may be surprised at the shocking ingredients stars utilize in their daily routines. "Jersey Shore" star Nicole Polizzi, better known to fans as Snooki, isn't afraid to fess up about her skin-care routine — even if it might leave a bad taste in many fans' mouths.

While guest-starring on "Conan" (via Today), the mother of three admitted her secret ingredient was stolen from cats. "Clean cat litter!" Snooki quipped when asked about her beauty tips. "Well, I definitely like to Google a lot, and I don't like to spend a lot of money on spa treatments — just because I'm a cheap-o," she revealed. "So I Googled what else I could use that was not so expensive. It was cat litter."

The reality television star admitted that while her method may be unconventional, she has yet to have a breakout. Most cat litter is made up of bentonite clay, which is a natural exfoliant. You know what they say, "Gym, Tan, Laundry ... Cat litter?"

When it comes to underwear — some stars feel that less is more. To each their own when it comes to intimate garments, from whitey-tidies to thongs and everything in between. But for Kelly Clarkson, "Less" means absolutely nothing. The "Since U Been Gone" is reportedly known for not using anything at all when it comes to her underwear, and she made headlines in 2008 when made a bold statement about her clothing choices.

At the time, she told Page Six, "Why'd anyone want a little thing up their butt when they can go free?" Call it strategy or simply her preference for undergarments, the singer revealed she went commando the entire time she competed on "American Idol." The "Because of You" singer may not be the biggest fan of deodorant, either, as MTV News reported that the star decided to forego it for a while back in 2012.

Chrissy Teigen is spilling all the intimate details about her relationship with her husband John Legend, and some of them may surprise you. The outspoken Sports Illustrated model is not afraid to tell it like it is, even if it means admitting all the strange places she and the singer have done the deed.

In an interview for Cosmopolitan (via Fox News), Teigen revealed that in addition to "upper-thigh" rubbing in restaurants, the couple isn't afraid to get down and dirty on commercial airplanes. "We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class," she explained. "We were under a blanket. We weren't even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that."

The mother of four also confirmed that she and her hubby got it on during an event for former President Obama. When asked by Extra about the best public place the two had sex, she answered, "Probably the Obama thing," but confirmed that the act didn't take place at the White House. While shying away from giving any details, Legend clarified, "He was not elected yet."

Emily Ratajowski may be driving around in a luxury BMW car, but that doesn't mean she's keeping the interior spick and span. The bombshell model and actor is a household name, known for her stunning good looks, talent, and now — filthy vehicles. That's right, the starlet has a penchant for dirtying up her ride, and she isn't afraid to admit it.

During an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" the "Gone Girl" star was forced to own up to a photo posted on Reddit by one of her former production assistants. The picture gave an inside look at what it's like riding shotgun with the star, complete with piled-up trash cramming up the passenger's side. "When most people say their car is messy they mean like dog hair and one iced coffee. [But] I'm not cute-messy. I'm real messy," Ratajowski explained. "So one day I went on Reddit — which no one should do, to look up their own name — and I saw someone said something nice about me like, 'Emily Ratajkowski is great to work with,' and I clicked on it and he's like, 'Then I drove her car.'"

The "Welcome Home" star called her former vehicle a "garbage dump" admitting that when the time came to sell it, she had to clean up "everything from tampons to a marionette." Ratajowski also revealed that when the time came to haul a Christmas tree on top of the ride in 2016, she still had ties hanging from last year's haul. Yikes.

Marilyn Monroe is an American icon, from her jaw-dropping looks and acting roles in the 1950s to her iconic rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung for John F. Kennedy. As far as celebrities go, it's hard to believe the blonde bombshell would be remembered for anything other than being immaculate. Think again, however, as sources say the late star was not exactly the tidiest when it came to personal hygiene.

In the book "Clark Gable: Tormented Star" (via Thought Catalog), David Bret wrote about some of Monroe's less savory habits, which included eating in bed and passing lots of gas. Bret described her as "flatulent, dirty, and ate in bed ... Like Jean Harlow, she bleached all her pubic hair and never wore panties." Don't let her glamorous looks and effortless aura fool you, as Bret claims she wasn't exactly the striking sex symbol that many high-fashion magazines portrayed her to be while in the privacy of her own home. "She rarely bathed, slept in the nude, and ate a lot in bed — shoving what was left on her plate under the sheets before going to sleep," wrote the author.

As far as "Weird Things Famous People Have Said" goes, Jake Gyllenhaal's comments in a 2021 Vanity Fair article regarding his (lack of) penchant for personal hygiene are among the wackiest. In the profile, he revealed that he finds bathing to be "less than necessary" and that things are best left to natural purposes.

"I do also think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves," he explained. Speaking of natural skin care, he also showed love for the loofah; something he had found fascinating since childhood. "They feel like they've been made in a factory but, in fact, it's just not true," he continued.

Needless to say, fans were pretty confused about the actor's remarks. He ended up admitting in another interview that his comments were an attempt at humor that was not read as intended. "I don't know what it was," he admitted during a screening for his movie, "The Guilty" (via Buzzfeed). "I answered a question where I was being sarcastic and ironic, and it's followed me around." Luckily, he did at least reveal that he did brush his teeth, saying that "good manners and bad breath get you nowhere." We know that Gyllenhaal's relationship history is pretty wild, but these beliefs might surpass that on the weirdness scale.

He may be the actor formerly known as the Governator, but Arnold Schwarzenegger could also be called by a more cheeky name. Among the lesser known facts about Schwarzenegger, he is apparently a serial flatulator. When filming 1999's "End of Days" with him, "Harry Potter" series actor Miriam Margolyes claimed that the action star broke wind in her face on purpose while on set. "Now, I fart, of course I do — but I don't fart in people's faces," she revealed on the Australian "I've Got News For You" podcast in 2022. "He did it deliberately."

It would be one thing if it was called for in the scene, but Margolyes claimed that this was simply an ill-timed joke. As her character was lying on the floor, Schwarzenegger let one loose right in her direction. "It wasn't on film, it was in one of the pauses, but I haven't forgiven him for it." As a result, Margolyes shared that she has no respect for the famous hunk. "He's a bit too full of himself and I don't care for him at all," she stated. While "Ahh-nold" has never publicly commented on the claim, it goes to show that not all behind-the-scenes stays stagnant.

More than a decade after the famous series finale of the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," we know the reason star Alyson Hannigan hated kissing co-star Jason Segel on camera. For Hannigan, kissing her former on-screen husband wasn't the most minty fresh experience.

The former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actor claimed that she didn't enjoy kissing her faux beau due to the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" star's incessant smoking habits, something she claims is a personal pet peeve. "It's like kissing an ashtray and he's trying to be polite by having gum or mints, but it doesn't help," she revealed in an interview with Digital Spy.

But it wasn't for lack of trying. Hannigan also shared that Segel tried to commit to quitting smoking, even going so far as to bet with his co-star that he would owe her $10 for every cigarette he had. By the end of the first day of filming the pilot, he apparently owed her $200. "He quit cold turkey for about a year," she explained to the publication. "It was fantastic, but then ... he got stressed out and he started smoking again."

While we know there are definitely some strange things about Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' relationship, that weirdness also applies to their parenting strategies. The former "That 70's Show" actors appeared together on Dax Shepard's podcast "Armchair Expert," where they detailed their objectively odd bathing habits that they have passed down to their children.

Kunis — who shared that she didn't have hot running water growing up — said that since she didn't shower much as a kid, she doesn't prioritize washing her young children in the same way. As for Kutcher, he maintained that he only cleaned his armpits and private areas each day. And when it came to their children, they wait for a tell-tale sign before bath time: "If you can see the dirt on them, clean them," he stated simply on the podcast in 2021. "Otherwise, there's no point."

These revelations stemmed from podcast co-host Monica Padman's statement that regular bathing stripped the body of natural oils, prompting the parents of two to affirm that they only wash "vitals" every day rather than take a full body shower. But the couple did at least claim to wash their face every day, so we can count that as a win.

Similar to Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, actors Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd don't prioritize daily bathing habits for their children. At least, not anymore. "We did bathe them religiously for the first few years when the bedtime routine was so vital," Shepard explained on "Daily Blast Live" (via People). "Once that wasn't required to get them to go to sleep, yeah, we took our foot off the gas."

The couple also attribute their home state of California's ongoing drought issues to reasons they don't bathe as often as others, as well as bathe together. "It's just like, responsibility for your environment," Bell affirmed. "We don't have a ton of water, so when I shower, I'll grab the girls and push them in there with me so we all use the same shower water."

Bell even went so far as to claim they "wait for the stink" before making sure their children wash up. But while many think that this may be one smelly family, Shepard swears that his wife has the best hygiene in the family. "I think in general, because Kristen wears makeup more often than I do, she has to take it off," he stated. It seems like these are one of the few reasons why people have a problem with Bell and Shepard.

While hosting his late-night talk show "The Late Late Show with James Corden," he once revealed to the studio audience that he only washes his hair every two months. The revelation came up as he discussed Los Angeles' water crisis with his studio band, crew, and the audience on camera, particularly over his disbelief that the average American's shower length is reportedly 8 minutes. "I'm in and out [of the shower] in a solid three or four," he proclaimed (via Page Six), citing the short cycle due in part to cutting out hair washing from his routine.

This came as a shock to everyone in the studio, and his crew began to playfully but curiously question his reasoning behind the quick shower fix. "I use soap, but I don't wash my hair," he doubled down. "That is a true story." The reaction? The staffers began calling him "nasty" (to his face!), adding to the host's confusion.
