Many of us were raised with a strong emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene. It teaches us about personal safety and hygiene, as well as correct manners and cleanliness. If you want people to take you seriously, you should avoid going outside looking unclean and unkempt. However, you will be startled to learn that many celebrities you like do not practice appropriate hygiene. So, if you’re curious about which ones, we hope you’ll find the list below helpful.
30+ Celebrities Unpleasant Hygiene Practices
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz is a well-known actress, and knowing that someone like her has unsanitary habits may surprise everyone who knows her. She holds specific notions about hygiene items that are diametrically opposed to their intended purpose. She believes that applying deodorant preserves your body odor, which she uses as an argument to justify using deodorant. As a result, she avoids deodorant use, and unfortunately, everyone around her has had to put up with it.

Marilyn Monroe
According to Clark Gable’s 2007 autobiography, despite being one of the most famous stars of her day, Marilyn had her share of negative characteristics. She was described as flatulent, unclean, and prone to eating in bed. Eating in bed, while messy, is something everyone does on occasion, but the actress would tuck her dishes under her bed blankets before falling asleep. She would even skip regular showers or baths and go without underpants.

Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis is one of Hollywood’s most gorgeous ladies, yet her hygiene standards do not reflect this. Her husband, Ashton Kutcher, shares these habits and lives a similarly clean or unclean lifestyle. She confessed that growing up without hot water, she didn’t shower much, and this tendency continued as she developed. The actress would also forgo using soap on her body on a regular basis, instead focusing on the most critical areas.

Jake Gyllenhaal
There are few people who do not like Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, but we cannot say the same thing about his opinions on hygiene. The actor exhibits hygienic habits that are questionable to everybody who hears about them, and we’re all a little creeped out. In a Vanity Fair interview, the actor stated that he believes it is unnecessary for individuals to take regular showers because the body cleans itself. He believes that taking less frequent showers is better for his body’s maintenance, and we’re not sure where he received this knowledge.

Shia LaBeouf
Shia opted to go all out for his role in the 2014 film “Fury”. Shia refused to shower for weeks on end to create the appearance that the character he was playing was suffering from war-related deprivation. He reeked so bad that it was apparently too much for the other cast members to tolerate, so he was sent to a separate lodging away from the others. Shia has not rejected any allegations, so all we have are the comments of his colleagues.

Anderson Cooper
This guy appears to dress nicely for work, therefore there can’t be anything about him that makes him unattractive, right? Well, it appears that you cannot judge appearances solely based on photographs because the reality is rather different. Anderson is known to wear jeans while working, but the issue is whether or not he washes them. He would wear the same pair of pants to work every day and only wash them three or four times per year.
Anderson Cooper
Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe is one of the few actors who has worked for as long as he has. He has established a distinct reputation for himself over the years through his numerous films and endeavors, and he now appears to have a new, unsanitary notoriety. Russell is claimed to be surrounded by a body odor as a result of his excessive sweating, which prevents people from engaging with him. During award shows, fellow actors are known to stand downwind to avoid the odor.
Russell Crowe
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew is an actor best known for his roles in romantic comedy films including “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” and “The Wedding Planner”. He is also renowned as one of Hollywood’s most gorgeous actors, although he suffers from poor hygiene. The actor has been noted to have a body odor reminiscent of underarm sweat. Despite this, he refuses to apply deodorant or antiperspirant.
Matthew McConaughey
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman is a great actress, and while news about her and her films has faded over the years, the topic of her hygiene persists. The actress was seen to be wearing outdated clothes with food stains. A stylist who worked with Uma Thurman once disclosed her hygiene difficulties, claiming she scraped prawns off her back. Shrimp pulled off an old crusty t-shirt doesn’t seem appealing at all.
Uma Thurman
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is a singer and actress that many of us have grown up with, from her Disney days to her current celebrity status. She is currently a Hollywood star with a career as unconventional as her personality. It appears that her personality is where her wildness ends, since the celebrity has been known to avoid using deodorant that is not organic in nature. Experts who have viewed her tongue in images have also stated that it appears sick, with a fungus-like growth.
Miley Cyrus
Leonardo DiCaprio
Despite being one of the most successful, skilled, and well-known performers, Leo couldn’t escape the lousy hygiene trap. Leonardo intended to reduce his carbon footprint as an environmental crusader, but this resulted in poor hygiene. The actor feels deodorant is harmful to the environment and does not use it, as well as advises others not to do the same. He also takes two showers each week because he believes that using less water will help to conserve more.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Joey Essex
Joey Essex has a bad habit of teeth picking that we are all familiar with, but he makes it much more awful. People normally brush their teeth to remove any stuck food, and then wipe or wash their hands. On the other hand, the TOWIE star picks up food with his fingers rather than flicking it, and he smells the minute pieces. We’re not sure how he doesn’t puke whenever he smells spit-covered food.
Joey Essex
Joan Rivers
We don’t know what celebrities think about deodorant, but many on this list can’t bear using it. Even though she is no longer with us, Joan was never the exception. The only difference is that Joan discovered a new way to disguise her body odor and conceal it from people around her. You wouldn’t expect to hear this, but Joan believed that dusting garments with water and vodka was far more effective than deodorant. The only thing you’ll accomplish with this is to make others believe you’re drunk because you’ll always smell like booze.
Joan Rivers
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwenyth Paltrow is a name you might expect to find on a list like this because of her lifestyle brand, which allows her to try out some unusual things. Some of the experiments she’s conducted have frequently resulted in people close being driven away. Paltrow tested out a new deodorant at the Met Gala, which was nasal torment for her fellow celebrities. She chose a perfume without metal, which she thought was hazardous, but it came out nasty.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Jessica Simpson
We’ve been taught since we were youngsters to wash our teeth twice a day to maintain good oral hygiene. Jessica Simpson, on the other hand, has spoken out about her poor dental hygiene and has made multiple statements about her teeth over the past year. According to reports, the actress does not clean her teeth twice a day, if at all, and has only done so twice a week. She has stated that she only uses Listerine and occasionally her sweater to clean her teeth.
Jessica Simpson
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is one of the performers that is consistently at the top of Hollywood’s A list, therefore we expect nothing less from him. Celebrities like this guy struggle to find time for a shower due to their hectic schedules, but how difficult can a 5-minute shower be? Brad only showers when he has the chance, and if he doesn’t have time, he uses baby wipes. Despite his efforts, the stench of not showering lingers in the air around him.Post Malone
Brad Pitt
Post Malone
Post Malone is a rapper who appears to be a kind man that you’d like to hug. Others, however, dislike his raggedy and rugged appearance, which may offend some. Despite the fact that his odor does not appeal to others, the rapper has made no effort to address others’ concerns about his lack of deodorant use. He stated that his musk is natural and that if you didn’t like it, it’s not for you, making it sound more like a “you” issue.

Charlotte Crosby
Crosby wet her bed after drinking all night at the Celebrity Big Brother house because she couldn’t use the restroom. According to insiders, this was a chronic issue for Charlotte and had happened before. Charlotte’s bed was also found to be covered in pee and food stains most of the time. A half-eaten turkey sandwich remained on the soiled bed sheets, as did tanning product smudges.
Charlotte Crosby
Eva Mendez
Nail-biting is a bad habit since it annoys both you and those around you. We can’t help but do it when we’re stressed or apprehensive, and unfortunately, there are a lot of things around to irritate us. Eva Mendez also suffers from excessive nail-biting, which is something you should avoid because it exposes your mouth to harmful substances. You are not always conscious of what your hand touches, and you do not want the dirt under your nails to enter your mouth.
Eva Mendez
Shailene Woodley
We’re not sure how the actress came to the conclusion that eating dirt was excellent for your body and wellbeing. Aside from oil pulling to keep her teeth clean, the actress has been known to swallow clay. You heard it correctly! Woodley highlighted in an essay for Into The Gloss that clay is beneficial to one’s teeth and internal organs. She tells us to verify our clay source, but we’re confident we won’t be eating clay for supper anytime soon.
Shailene Woodley
Angelina Jolie
Couples that stink together appear to get along because Brad wasn’t the only one rumored to have bad hygiene. We’re not sure if it’s because of the number of children she’s caring for, but that sounds like a good enough justification. Taking care of her children keeps her busy enough, so she often goes a week without bathing or cleaning her hair. According to sources, the children have caught up their parents’ habits, and neither parent has taken any action to stop it.
Angelina Jolie
Kelly Clarkson
Celebrities are accustomed to wear new clothes virtually every day, so hearing Kelly Clarkson say she goes commando all the time is strange. During all of her “American Idol” appearances, the singer apparently did not wear underpants. If our private parts come into contact with fresh clothes that have been dipped in who knows what kind of chemical, then underwear is essential. The last thing you want is to catch something that will cause you a rash because you went commando.
Kelly Clarkson
Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson is an all-around wonderful person with looks that will make many other actors jealous. We can think of one thing that will not make others green with envy: his seeming lack of hygiene. People and actresses who have previously worked with Gibson claim that he smells like sweat and cigarettes. He also showers infrequently, only once every few days, and does not use deodorant.
Mel Gibson
Katy Perry
Katy Perry is honest about her unsanitary habits, but she also doesn’t care what others think about them. She is constantly leaping and jumping during her performances, which she claims has increased her flatulence. It sounds like a lot to disclose in an interview, but we did learn what Katy and Orlando (also featured here) shared in common. Many celebrity couples have developed unsanitary habits, and it appears that these two are no exception.
Katy Perry
Kim Kardashian
Kim, unlike the other celebrities on our list, maintains her cleanliness by showering on a regular basis and washing her hair twice each week. Showering and washing hair are insufficient indicators of someone’s hygienic standards, as you’ll discover with Kim. Most people will tell you to take off your makeup before going to bed since it will go on your bedding and pillows, causing acne. Kim, on the other hand, believes in sleeping with makeup on since she is too busy to apply it in the morning.
Kim Kardashian
Kate Upton
Biting nails is more frequent than you might think, and Kate Upton is no exception to this popular and harmful habit. She frequently nibbles on her manicured nails, making them appear shorter. This has prevented her from experimenting with numerous hues of nail varnish on her nails, forcing her to settle for a nude polish instead. The nakedness also has the effect of making her nails appear larger due to how short they become from excessive biting.
Kate Upton
Harry Connick Jr.
Nail-biting is frequently caused by nervousness or anxiety in an uncomfortable scenario. Harry Connick Jr. pushed nail-biting to the next level, making it even more horrible to hear. We hope we could forget this, but Harry stated on The Todd and Erin Morning Show that he also chops off his toenails. He elaborated, claiming that he does not need toenail clippers because he can bite and gnaw his toenails.
Harry Connick Jr.
Jennifer Aniston
Despite being in her fifties, the Friends star can still make guys go crazy for her wherever she goes. It appears that her appearance isn’t the only thing driving people insane; her cleanliness is just as powerful as a weapon. Jennifer has been noted to have coffee-scented breath, making it difficult for actors to perform kissing sequences with her. Drinking too much coffee that it causes bad breath is not a healthy indicator for your oral health.
Jennifer Aniston
Courteney Cox
Courtney Cox has acted in films after her stint on Friends, but it is still her most successful project. Her character Monica, a clean freak with OCD over her apartment, does not appear to transition well to the actual world. She is reported to give off a sweaty scent because she does not use deodorant. This was revealed by her ex-husband, David Arquette, who said his then-wife didn’t care how she smelled to others.
Courteney Cox
Emily Ratajkowski
Emily told Jimmy Kimmel in 2017 about an eight-year period in her life when she drove around a car that she characterized as a literal rubbish dump. According to the celebrity, there was all kinds of junk, including albums and tampons. A clean automobile indicates that you know how to care for yourself and preserve cleanliness, thus it’s shocking that Ratajkowski drives a dump. She then said that she got rid of the car because she wanted to be more tidy.
Emily Ratajkowski
Kesha
Kesha, one of the most popular music stars of the early 2000s, has unsanitary habits that she isn’t ashamed to discuss publicly. The singer has been accused of stinking up the place wherever she goes, but the allegations have had little effect. She also engaged in horrible drinking behavior, which you should avoid if your name isn’t Bear Grylls. The singer’s peculiar drinking habits may be behind her, but her stink is not.
Kesha
Alicia Silverstone
Best renowned for her performance as Cher Horowitz in “Clueless,” Alicia does not appear to live a clean lifestyle that would make her character proud. When she was on set, she was notorious for her hygiene problems, with the main concern being how terrible she smelled. Like many others on this list, Alicia avoids deodorant, which is unfortunate for those around her. The most repulsive part is how she feeds her infant like a bird, chewing and spitting food into her child’s mouth.
Alicia Silverstone
Adele
Adele may be the only celebrity on this list who exhibits unsanitary behaviors that distinguish her from the others. The singer has a severe habit of picking her nose and is open about it, according to an interview with The Sun. Things don’t end there; she enjoys delving into her nose and rolling boogers between her fingers, as well as her son’s boogers. She’ll roll them between her fingers to form a ball, then flick them in any direction she likes.
Adele
Vanessa Paradis
Vanessa, one of Johnny Depp’s companions, complained that the actor didn’t shower or wash his hair. In a hypocritical turn of events, Vanessa has suddenly emerged as an unsanitary individual. The model and actress would go days without bathing, resulting in a distinct and musty body stench. Many of her friends and relatives avoided her because of the strong stink that was attacking their sensitive nostrils.
Vanessa Paradis
Naya Rivera
When you think of Naya Rivera, you probably image her in Glee, donning a cheerleader dress and singing on stage. Everything changed for her admirers after she gave an interview in 2015. When asked about her personal hygiene, Naya revealed that she often go weeks without using her shower. Many of her devoted admirers were taken aback, believing that the celebrity could not get any worse. In 2020, Naya died in unexplained circumstances.
Naya Rivera
Josh Hutcherson
We all have some features that emerge when we are distracted or not thinking, and these traits are either natural or strange at best. The star of “The Hunger Games” had a horrible habit that made his co-stars cringe in revulsion and bolt away. He would supposedly spew spit bubbles when he was deep in thought, which annoyed those around him. Imagine standing in front of him, getting ready for a kiss, when he starts spewing bubbles at you.
Josh Hutcherson
Dax Shepherd
Dax has a lifestyle in which he only showers when he feels dirty. According to him, Dax is more unsanitary than Kristen because she has to wash more regularly to remove her makeup. He also bathes his children and himself in the same water, believing it is his job to conserve the ecosystem. Dax probably understands how awful his hygiene had gone toward the end, as he revealed that his hygiene could always be improved.
Dax Shepherd
Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom gained his name in Hollywood with his roles in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie. His hygiene appears to have left an unfavorable impression on his supporters. Miranda Kerr had many issues with her spouse during their marriage, primarily due to his lack of sanitation and hygiene. He would wear the same clothing for weeks without washing them, even when they were smelly.
Orlando Bloom
Ashton Kutcher
This actor has some contentious views about remaining clean. He claims that if he feels dirty and wants to get clean, there is always a bar of soap nearby, ready to do the job. He doesn’t mention how often this occurs, though. His regular disrespect for showering has rubbed off on his children, and we’re not sure if they enjoy it or not. Ashton feels that if there is no dirt on your children, it is pointless to bathe them. Ash, just because you can’t see dirt doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
