We look up to celebrities for so many reasons – their talent, their style, their seemingly perfect lives. They grace red carpets looking flawless, star in our favorite movies and shows, and often project an image of effortless glamour and polished perfection. But behind the dazzling smiles and designer clothes, it turns out they’re people just like us… well, mostly.
Ok, maybe not *exactly* like us, but they do have their quirks! And sometimes, these quirks involve their personal hygiene routines. Yep, you read that right. While we might imagine them living in sparkling clean bubbles, many stars have been surprisingly open, and sometimes even a little *too* open, about their less-than-conventional habits when it comes to staying clean.
Remember all the buzz a while back when several celebs started talking about how often they (or their kids!) shower? It sparked a whole online debate! Well, that was just the tip of the iceberg. It seems the world of Hollywood is full of fascinating, and occasionally eyebrow-raising, approaches to personal cleanliness. Get ready, because we’re diving into some of the most surprising hygiene confessions from famous faces, straight from the source!
1. **Dwayne Johnson**: It’s no secret that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the busiest stars in Hollywood. Between filming blockbusters and making WWE appearances, his schedule is absolutely packed, which might explain some things.
While working on the set of the movie “Red Notice” in 2024, some interesting rumors started making the rounds about the action star. Beyond reports that he constantly showed up late – something he actually denied – there was a rather peculiar habit that came to light.
Allegedly, Johnson had a strange routine: urinating into water bottles instead of simply using the restroom. And if that wasn’t surprising enough, the rumors claimed he would then hand these bottles off to assistants to dispose of them. The actor himself actually confirmed this detail, though he maintained he wasn’t frequently late.
2. **Robert Pattinson**: Long before he was brooding as Batman, Robert Pattinson was known for playing a vampire in the massively popular “Twilight” saga. But alongside his on-screen persona, the actor also gained a certain reputation for questionable personal hygiene.
His “Twilight” co-stars reportedly shared that Pattinson never showered, a habit that apparently drove the entire team crazy. This wasn’t just hearsay, though; Pattinson himself admitted to some lax hygiene habits.
He once confessed that he could go weeks without washing his hair. However, it seems things might have changed, at least a little bit! He later mentioned that after working with Dior, he actually started moisturizing his skin, which he described as a major life change. Progress, right?
3. **Johnny Galecki**: You might know him as Leonard Hofstadter from the hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory,” but Johnny Galecki apparently had a long-running, slightly unhygienic habit on set.
His co-star, Kunal Nayyar, who played Raj Koothrappali, spilled the beans on a peculiar detail from their twelve years working together. Nayyar revealed that Galecki had a bizarre tradition that lasted for over a decade.
Galecki spent 12 years sticking chewing gum to a wall on set. Yes, you read that right – sticky, used chewing gum. The result of this dedication? A wall that was covered with a staggering 3,000 pieces of gum. It certainly makes you wonder if anyone was tasked with cleaning *that* up!
4. **Brad Pitt**: One of Hollywood’s leading men, Brad Pitt, also has some surprising confessions about his personal cleanliness habits over the years. For quite some time, Pitt reportedly avoided taking showers, preferring an alternative method instead.
His go-to solution when he didn’t have time for a full wash? Baby wipes. Actor Eli Roth even recalled Pitt advising him to wipe down with a baby wipe if he was short on time. It seems this preference for skipping showers wasn’t a secret among his inner circle.
According to a former roommate, Jason Priestley, Pitt even participated in competitions back in the day to see who could go the longest without washing – a truly unique challenge! However, the good news is that things have changed; the text notes that under the influence of his partner Ines de Ramon, Pitt has finally returned to more conventional hygiene practices.
5. **Will Smith**: Will Smith is a global superstar known for his charisma and energetic performances. But a surprising, slightly less glamorous moment involving the actor was shared in the memoirs of “Men in Black” director Barry Sonnenfeld.
The director recounted an incident that occurred during the filming of the movie. While in a closed vehicle during a shoot with his co-star Tommy Lee Jones, Smith apparently passed gas.
The result of this unexpected event in a confined space? Tommy Lee Jones was reportedly left practically suffocating. It’s described as a comical moment, though perhaps less so for poor Tommy Lee Jones at the time, and one that could have easily made it into the film itself for its sheer absurdity.
6. **Bradley Cooper**: Bradley Cooper is another major star who has been candid about some past habits that weren’t exactly pleasant. Early in his career, the actor admitted that he used to chew tobacco, even while he was working on film sets.
This habit led to a memorable, and according to him, rather disgusting moment during the filming of the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Cooper recalled a scene where he had to spit out tobacco juice.
He described the moment, noting that saliva was left dangling from his mouth. The actor acknowledged that it was disgusting and felt that he didn’t look “masculine” in that particular instance. It just goes to show that even movie stars have moments they’d probably rather forget!
