Any time a celebrity appears in public, we expect them to look like a million bucks. It’s impossible for a celebrity to leave the house without appearing radiant from head to foot, thanks to their devoted squad of wardrobe stylists, hair and makeup designers. However, appearances may be deceiving. Even if several of our favorite celebrities seem to be perfectly gorgeous from the outside, if you stood right next to them, you could get a hint of a foul odor. This is due to the fact that certain celebrities have a reputation for slacking when it comes to personal hygiene.

How about this as an example? Well, celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt have confessed to going days without showering, so they may not necessarily smell as good as they appear.

Britney Spears has had a tumultuous time in the spotlight, but we have to applaud her for picking herself up and resurrecting her reputation since hitting rock bottom. Britney Spears is, after all, pretty amazing. While many people nowadays want to concentrate on her songs, it seems that some people can’t concentrate on something when she’s around.

That’s because her hygiene is said to be less than ideal, with one bodyguard also threatening to sue the star for her stench and lack of cleaning. Britney fails to keep up with her shower routine and dislikes wearing deodorant, according to sources. She also enjoys walking around public spaces without wearing shoes or socks!

Brad Pitt.

Eli Roth, Brad Pitt’s co-star in Inglourious Basterds, told People that the father of six sent him some interesting tips about how to stay clean on location while shooting. “When you’re sweating and don’t have time to shower,” Roth said, “you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits.” Gross, to say the least.

Pitt allegedly told Roth, To justify why I don’t take showers and just use a wet wipe, “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.”

Roth was hooked, and he finally followed Pitt’s grooming tip, using baby wipes to maintain his armpits smelling fresh on days when drenching his whole body with running water was too much of a headache.

Pitt could be pressed for time due to his fatherly responsibilities, but c’mon, how difficult is it to get in a five-minute wash up?

ROBERT PATTINSON

“I don’t really see the point in washing your hair. If you don’t care if your hair’s clean or not then why would you wash it?” In an interview, the Twilight star admitted.

However, it seems that he dislikes showering as well. “He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy ,” a personal friend of Robert once said.

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart has a thing about baths, in the sense that she doesn’t take them too much.

Kristen allegedly only washed her hair every few weeks and only brushed her teeth once a day while shooting Twilight. It allegedly became so horrible that her co-star Robert Pattinson was compelled to speak out.

Naya Rivera

“showering more than once a day, or every day, is such a white people thing.” Naya Rivera, the former Glee star, says. Yes, she said it on national tv, in front of a studio audience, when co-hosting The View.

That wasn’t it, however. She put her foot even more in her mouth by declaring that “white people shower a lot more than ethnics” and basing her observations on being married to a “white man” (estranged partner, Ryan Dorsey) who showers “two, three times a day.” on occasion.

During the show’s Hot Topics portion, the Puerto Rican, German, and African-American actress made the outrageous comments, and she was quickly pressured to contend with the uproar. She apologised for her remarks at the next taping of the show (via ET), adding, “I had an opinion on it that was supposed to be a joke. Apparently it didn’t go over so well… It was supposed to be a joke, but I apologize if anyone was offended.”

ZAC EFRON

“Zac isn’t a big fan of showering. It’s so gross, because Zac loves to work out and plays basketball all the time – and then goes days without showering,” according to a source close to him.

Perhaps he despises bathing because it reminds him of a humiliating experience from his life. The actor remembered discovering cologne while shopping with his mother at a mall in a 2017 interview with Refinery29. He loaded up with free samples and “put on way too many of them one day and went to school.” After that, the actor said he was sent home from school and told to shower because he “smelled so bad.”

Ke$ha

As anyone with a dollar sign in their name, it’s obviously no wonder that Ke$ha has been regarded as one of the music industry’s many crazy characters. While her music has been wacky and out-there at times, it seems that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in terms of her attitude and values.

That’s because Ke$ha has been reported to do some pretty crazy stuff with her health, including drinking her own waste. Ke$ha is said to have begun drinking this when she was convinced it was healthy for her and her body, but she quickly discovered it was only making her smell bad. She allegedly smelled “like a shrimp on a diaper,” according to her own words.

Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf’s tenure on the set of Brad Pitt’s Fury was marred by scrutiny and speculation regarding his odd conduct.

According to those who have seen the film, LaBeouf overplayed his role as World War II soldier Boyd “Bible” Swan. He used the method-acting approach to nail the role, which is a process through which a person “becomes” the character in order to provide an earth-shattering result. According to the Daily Mail, some people believe LaBeouf went too far with his transformation into Bible. During shooting, LaBeouf not only pulled his own tooth, but he even “refused to shower for weeks on end so he could better understand how his character would have felt living in the trenches.”

We’re all about an actor throwing everything they’ve got into a role…as long as they’re not fucking up the whole location!

JOHNNY DEPP

“Johnny usually smells because he rarely showers. He isn’t big on personal cleanliness and Vanessa [Paradis] isn’t much different. They found their perfect match in each other – it’s hard to be around them,” a source said.

During her free time, Paradis was always seen with “no makeup and unruly hair” according to the source. Depp, on the other hand, kept a casual outlook toward cleanliness everywhere he traveled. “If he’s showing up for work on set, he’ll be a total professional, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be shiny and clean,” the snitch stated.

Leonardo DiCaprio

You don’t need us to remind you that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the world’s most successful men. His acting career has spanned decades, and he has appeared in several of the most well-known films of all time, but that doesn’t suggest he’s a one-trick pony. Leo has devoted a lot of time and money to climate activism in recent years, and he has personally made improvements in his own life to reduce his carbon footprint and harmful environmental effects.

Leo, like many of the other celebrities on this list, doesn’t think that anyone should use deodorant on their bodies, so he doesn’t! In addition, he only takes one to two baths a week because he does not want to waste water.

Snooki

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jennifer “JWoww” Farley, and the majority of the Jersey Shore cast have been seen partying like their lives depended on it. As the cameras were rolling, cast members went through their daily life in a house in Seaside Heights, and we can’t recall either of them announcing that they were going to take a shower before heading out to the party to fist pump the night away. Is it likely that they actually crawled into bed after their crazy outings without bothering to wash off the sweat, glitter, and foam they accumulated during their nights out?

This great Jersey Shore mystery has been solved… at least as far as Snooki is concerned. During an installment of their spinoff program, Snooki & JWOWW, the pint-sized, leopard print-loving cast member was speaking with JWoww (via MTV News). “I used to remember you waking up at 3 in the afternoon, and I had to dropkick you out [of bed] to take a shower.” JWoww reminisced about their days at the beach. As a result, Snooki responded, “I never showered, I was a f*****g slob. I smelled so bad, like alcohol and beer.”

JULIA ROBERTS

“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,” her former bodyguard said.

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson tends to go to great lengths to maintain her good looks. Many people are unaware, however, that she has a habit of being sloppy with her personal hygiene.

She made the shocking admission that she just brushes her teeth “maybe three times a week.” while visiting The Ellen DeGeneres Show (via US Weekly). What is the reason for this? “Because my teeth are so white and I don’t like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday.” Say what?!

“My lips just slide all over the place…

I’m unable to keep up with my mouth, “she went on. “I need a little coating.” To keep her teeth clean, the singer and actress admitted she would scrub them with “a shirt or something” instead of brushing.

Simpson must have seen DeGeneres’ and the audience members’ shocked expressions because she tried to reassure them all by saying, “I know it’s gross but I always have fresh breath.”

We’d bet money that anyone who skips brushing their teeth every day isn’t keeping up with their regular showers either, even though she’s never said how much she showers.

SHIA LABEOUF

“Shia drove everyone mad on set trying to prove that he was the most dedicated star. He pulled out his own tooth during the first few weeks of filming and then refused to shower for weeks on end so he could better understand how his character would have felt living in the trenches,” while describing Shia’s behavior on the set of Fury, one source revealed.

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson is the kind of woman who can accomplish everything she sets her mind to. She can sing, act, and even pull off a pair of extremely short shorts and cowboy boots. Jessica Simpson, on the other hand, seems to lack the desire to brush her teeth on a regular basis. Jessica avoids brushing her teeth because she dislikes it, despite the fact that she has beautiful white teeth that are also extremely straight.

She doesn’t believe she has to brush her teeth because her breath doesn’t stink and they remain white no matter what she eats or drinks, so she avoids it at all costs. Jessica is aware that not brushing her teeth is unusual, but it seems that this information is insufficient to persuade her to reach for the toothpaste.

Tamron Hall

Tamron Hall, a co-anchor on TODAY, shocked her co-anchors by considering giving up daily showers for good! During an on-camera conversation about a news story, one of the anchors asked, “Do we really need to scrub-a-dub-dub that often?”

Hall was convinced that the answer was no, especially for those who, like her, had dry skin. “People with skin issues notice that when they forgo daily baths, it eases up eczema and dry skin,” she said, before revealing that her friends refer to her as “Ashlee Simpson” because of her ashy complexion.

Willie Geist, the anchor, wasn’t convinced that skipping a shower or two to keep her skin in tip-top shape was a good idea. “When I wake up in the morning, I have to shower to wake up for one thing,” he said. Natalie Morales, another co-host, expressed similar sentiments when she announced she had to shower “twice a day, almost every day.”

Regardless of her co-anchors’ reactions, Hall was open to the proposal. She said, “I think I’m going to try it,” before Al Roker joked, “Would you let us know when?”

Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe has been a part of our lives for so long that we can’t recall a time when he wasn’t. Although there are very few people who can criticize his talent, it seems that some people can criticize his personal hygiene.

We don’t know whether it’s because he sweats more than the average person or because he doesn’t want to use deodorant, but the actor has been said to have an issue with body odor. However, when in the presence of this legend, many of his co-stars and celebrities who have attended events with him have had to stand downwind. That’s one way to keep a bad odor at bay.

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron is probably the last person on this list you’d expect to see. When she attends a red carpet function, the award-winning actress still looks glam, beautiful, and well-put-together. She can’t even leave the house without being dubbed one of Hollywood’s best-dressed. She’s attractive, like the other stars on our list, but the Monster star has an unusual beauty ritual that may confuse even her most ardent fans.

“I’m a tough girl and I can not shower for a week – I’m fine with that,” the blonde bombshell admitted in an interview with David Letterman (via NY Daily News).

Hmm…she may be fine with it, but we’re curious what her co-stars think about her aversion to a good scrub. Please get in touch with her Mad Max: Fury Road co-star Tom Hardy. Answers are required!

Kourtney Kardashian

There’s no denying that Kourtney Kardashian is a wealthy woman. Keeping up with her life is simple because she shares so much of her life on social media for all to see – especially when it comes to her home. Yes, everyone knows she lives in a mansion with a massive bathroom, so why is she on this list?

Most people would bathe or shower every day if they had a massive marble bathroom, but Kourtney Kardashian, unfortunately, does not. Kourtney has avoided deodorant in recent years because she believes it is harmful to one’s health. While she thought it was a good idea, her children reportedly didn’t like how their mother smelled.

Kendra Wilkinson

Kendra Wilkinson’s fashion arsenal included revealing shorts, mini dresses, bathing suits, and lingerie when she starred on The Girls Next Door. Wilkinson was always attending parties and rubbing elbows with celebrities since he shared the Playboy Mansion with the late Hugh Hefner and the rest of his girlfriends/Playboy Playmates. She owned every outfit she wore, thanks to her curvy yet athletic figure. Her stylist reported (via Yahoo!) that she “sexy” as “couldn’t care less how she smells.” as she appeared on the outside.

The stylist speculated that the source of the funk could be “pets,” adding that the California native “smells like urine most of the time.” Are we the only ones who are gagging at the moment? As if that wasn’t bad enough, the stylist also said that Wilkinson “nearly never takes a shower” and “never wears perfume.”

Angelina Jolie

Many sources have claimed that Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, is just as bad as the rest of the Brangelina family when it comes to personal hygiene. Of course, with so many children living under her roof, we can forgive her a little, but there’s still no excuse for her not washing her body or hair for days at a time.

According to a family source, Brad and Angelina’s poor hygiene has been passed down to their children, though Angelina has not brought it up with them. She doesn’t make them shower or brush their teeth, which means they don’t do that too often. If that’s the case, we’re guessing they all live in one stinky building.

Christina Aguilera

We all know Christina Aguilera enjoys getting “Dirty,” but we don’t believe she meant that when she wrote that iconic album. Christina Aguilera has lent her name to a slew of various projects into the world of celebrity over the course of her career. She’s a musician, an actress, and she even has a perfume line of her own.

However, not everyone is a fan of her perfume choices, with one reporter claiming that she smelled too sweet and like a 12-year-old girl’s room. But it doesn’t stop there. Christina’s friends have also commented that she smells like a specific food. What kind of food is that? Of course, there are hot dogs. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Jennifer Aniston

Isn’t Jennifer Aniston a household name in the acting world? While we can’t get over the fact that she’s in her 50s, the fact that she’s on this list is even more surprising. Jennifer Aniston isn’t exactly filthy, is she? She certainly seems to be, and several of her co-stars have talked about her odor over the years.

Jen’s breath always smells like coffee, and she doesn’t seem to be able to get enough of the beverage during the day.

Kissing scenes are more complicated as a result of this, but isn’t that just part of her life? Jennifer’s character on Friends used to work at Central Perk, so she can’t imagine her life without coffee. Of course, we all know that stale coffee isn’t a good thing.
