That’s The Pits! These Celebs Supposedly Have Pretty Bad Personal Hygiene

Since most of us only see Hollywood stars either playing a role or dressed to the nines on the red carpet or other publicized events, it's easy to forget that they're people with normal bodily functions like the rest of us. Although we usually see them looking their best, that doesn't guarantee that they take care of their personal hygiene as well as we may expect. Here's a list of some of Hollywood's greatest who may not look (or smell) all that glamorous when they're not in the public eye.

Matthew McConaughey is considered to be one of the most handsome men in showbusiness, even being named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine in 2005. But incredibly, the actor told People that he hadn't worn deodorant in 20 years.

He commented, "I don't like to smell like someone or something else. If my smell starts to bother someone else, I'll take a shower." One actress who didn't approve of McConaughey's all-natural lifestyle was Kate Hudson, his co-star in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Supposedly, she would bring natural deodorant and request that McConaughey wore it on set.

Supposedly, his odor can be so bad at times, that when filming Cinderella Man, co-star Renee Zellweger asked if they could use a body double for any intimate scenes.

He has been defended by some of his friends, however, who claim that "If you stand really close to him you may catch the occasional whiff of alcohol and curry after a night on the town."

She told Ellen DeGeneres, "My teeth are so white, and I don't like them to feel too slippery, but I do use Listerine, and I do floss every day, but I don't brush them every day. I'll use a shirt or something ... I know it's gross."

On top of that, she admitted to a concert audience that she probably won't have any teeth by the time that she's 60.

When filming Fury, Shia LeBoeuf was so invested in his character that he went to great lengths to feel what it was like being a soldier in World War II.

According to Daily Mail, "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 this level of method acting is impressive, it's not always so pleasant for the people you are surrounded by.

He told Extra, "I don't really see the point in washing your hair...If you don't care if your hair is clean or not, why would you wash it?" Apparently, he wasn't a fan of showering either, something that drove others on set crazy.
