It was quite a revelation when Kate Hudson shared that neither she nor her co-star Matthew McConaughey wore deodorant. The two were promoting their 2008 movie Fool's Gold on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and when asked about the long-standing rumor, Kate confirmed that it was indeed true. She joked about being able to smell Matthew from a mile away on set and that they were both "au naturels". The 45-year-old actress didn't elaborate on why she chose not to use deodorant, but it seems she is not alone in this practice.
In fact, Matthew McConaughey has also been known to forgo deodorant and other sweat-masking products. In a 2005 interview for his People Sexiest Man Alive cover story, the actor declared that "a man should smell like a man" and that he hadn't worn deodorant in 20 years. He later revealed in a 2021 interview on Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Show that he prefers to use his own "homemade concoctions" instead of aftershave. When asked for his secret list of ingredients, he coyly responded that he couldn't dare say it out loud.
The conversation around celebrity hygiene habits doesn't end there. Brad Pitt has also been rumored to be quite lax when it comes to personal grooming, with claims that he didn't shower often until his girlfriend Ines de Ramon came along in 2022. However, sources close to the actor have denied these rumors, stating that it is "complete and total nonsense". Nevertheless, it has sparked a discussion about the importance of wearing deodorant.
It seems that Ines has had a positive influence on Brad's habits, as he has reportedly started paying more attention to his wardrobe and even lets her choose his cologne. He has also taken up flossing and indulging in spa treatments like massages and facials. According to insiders, he has also become a fan of moisturizers and skin creams, much to the relief of those around him.
While it may seem like a trivial matter, the topic of deodorant and personal hygiene has caused quite a stir in the celebrity world. So, for all the guys out there, please wear deodorant. And for those who prefer to go au naturel, just make sure you have a good reason for it. Who knows, maybe one day it will become a trend and we'll all be ditching deodorant. But until then, let's keep smelling fresh and clean.
