They say you shouldn't meet your heroes.
And when it comes to these A-listers, that couldn't be more true.
But it's not their Tinseltown personalities that are too harsh to handle — it's their
star-powered reputation for neglecting basic hygiene.
Whether it's not regularly brushing their teeth, skipping the shower, or ahem forgetting
to flush the toilet, these are the stars who could use a little "soap on a rope."
Jessica Simpson
Designer and singer Jessica Simpson's big, bright smile may not last for long.
The former reality starlet revealed to Ellen that she hardly ever brushes her teeth.
"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."
Still wondering how that works out for her?
"But I don't brush them everyday.
I'll use a shirt or something…
I know it's gross… but I always have fresh breath."
But it wasn't the first time Simpson announced her aversion to brushing.
People reports that Simpson told a concert audience once,
"Find me when I'm 60 and [my teeth] will probably be all out, but I literally have these strong
powerful teeth that don't need to be brushed."
Cameron Diaz
"(sniff, sniff, sniff) Does it smell like poo-poo?"
She's often seen sporting pit stains on the red carpet, and actress Cameron Diaz 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."
Wanna give her method a shot?
She advises trimming your armpit hair so it doesn't absorb the scent.
Megan Fox
Actress and brunette bombshell Megan Fox admitted to FHM that her poor memory makes for some
awkward situations.
She claims,
"I forget to flush the toilet.
Friends will tell me, 'Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn't flush.'"
"This is kind of amazing.
I didn't expect to meet someone like this at the party, so…"
Kristen Stewart
Back when she was dating Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart allegedly avoided bathing
like it was her job.
A source told the National Enquirer,
"Rob's a laid-back guy, but he finds Kristen's grungy habits a turn-off.
She doesn't wash her hair often, only brushes her teeth once a day and rarely wears perfume."
Curiously, the actress sang a slightly different tune to Vogue UK, saying,
"Like, [Rob] loves to lick under my armpits.
I don’t get this obsession with washing the smell off."
"It sounds weird to say that, but there you go."
Brad Pitt
Inglourious Basterds star Eli Roth told People that his co-star Brad Pitt didn't have too
much time to shower before showing up to set.
But neither did Roth, who said Pitt gave him some tips, revealing,
"After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're
ripe […] 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.'"
Miley Cyrus
Actress, singer, and reformed twerker Miley Cyrus makes a lot of questionable decisions,
so her controversial hygiene may be the least outrageous part of her "strategic hot mess"
persona.
In 2016, Cyrus reportedly wore someone else's retainer, essentially opening herself up to
someone else's germs.
Medical experts speculated that her coated tongue may be another sign she's not taking
care of her oral hygiene.
Then, of course, there's the whole "Wrecking Ball" video.
"I think people really have enjoyed the voice and getting to see me as an artist and someone
that they can relate to again, rather than someone that slides down their own tongue."
Bradley Cooper
He has openly confessed that he might stink, but Bradley Cooper's taking steps to compensate
for it — just maybe not the most obvious ones.
The star admitted to Esquire,
"I don't use deodorant really anymore.
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?
Shailene Woodley
She seems to have her heart in the right place, but Shailene Woodley may want to get her nose
checked out if her own stories about her hygiene are true.
The actress told Parade,
"I basically have horse hair.
It's so low-maintenance.
[…] I only shampoo it like once a month — the oilier, the better."
"You can find happiness in everything.
Literally, it's about perspective.
I get really happy when I can take a hot shower."
But it doesn't end there.
A source told Star,
"Shailene rubs these essential oils all over her body, and they aren't very welcoming scents.
Her smell is totally offensive, and it's gotten so bad that her stylist is having a hard time
borrowing designer outfits for her to wear because she makes the gowns stink!"
Harry Styles
"There's a rumor on the internet that you have four nipples.
Can you just point out where they are?"
"Usual, and then just a little lower…"
He may be handsome, but rumor has it musician Harry Styles doesn't smell attractive.
His One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson once told Chicago's B6 Radio,
"I dislike it when Harry farts and then pretends it's not him for literally 10 minutes."
The Daily Star reported that his ex, songstress Taylor Swift, also reportedly complained that
Styles:
"[…] had the worst breath, like coffee, cigarettes, and booze."
Even customarily quiet bandmate Zayn Malik told Top of the Pops,
"I don't think there's enough money on this earth that would make me sniff Harry's socks!"
Vanessa Paradis
Actor Johnny Depp and his ex, singer Vanessa Paradis, allegedly don't see the big deal
about bathing.
A source told Fox News,
"[Johnny] 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."
Too bad they broke up, right?
