Kate Hudson revealed that neither she nor Matthew McConaughey wear deodorant. Nice.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that aired on Wednesday, the actress was asked about the long-standing rumour suggesting her co-star and friend isn’t a fan of using deodorant products.
‘Was that old urban legend true that you forced Matthew McConaughey to wear deodorant while filming Fool’s Gold?’ host Andy asked, referring to Kate and Matthew’s 2008 movie.
In response, the star confirmed the speculation was true.
‘No. He doesn’t wear deodorant – and by the way, I don’t either,’ she divulged.
Kate went on to joke that she could smell Matthew ‘from a mile (away)’ on the set of Fool’s Gold and that ‘they got so close’ while filming the romantic comedy action flick.
‘We’re au naturels,’ the 45-year-old laughed, not elaborating on why she doesn’t like to use deodorant.
Meanwhile, Matthew doesn’t appear to be a fan of sweat-masking products at all.
‘A man should smell like a man. I haven’t worn deodorant in 20 years,’ he said in his People Sexiest Man Alive cover story back in 2005.
In a 2021 interview for Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, Matthew revealed that he doesn’t use aftershave but wears his own ‘homemade concoctions’.
‘You knew I was a mixologist, didn’t you?’ he continued, before refusing to reveal his secret list of ingredients: ‘I couldn’t dare say that out loud.’
This comes after it was rumoured Brad Pitt is another celeb who is historically unfussed about personal hygiene routines – with claims he didn’t shower often until girlfriend Ines de Ramon came along in 2022.
‘He’s really reformed for Ines,’ an insider claimed to In Touch. ‘Brad used to be quite lackadaisical about taking showers and washing his hair, and only wanting to use soap and water when he did shower and refusing to use deodorant or cologne.
‘He’d often go a day or two without bathing, which is astonishing given he’s such a huge sex symbol, but with Ines, it’s a different story.
‘He’s gone out of his way to change his smelly ways.’
Brad’s supposed smelly transformation is also said to extend to his wardrobe too, which insiders say has experienced a glow up in recent years.
‘Brad’s generally paying more attention to clothes he wears and letting her pick out his cologne. She’s even got him flossing his teeth,’ they added. ‘Now, they love to go out and get pampered at the spa together, like massages and facials.
‘He loves moisturisers and skin creams too; he’s upped his game in this area to everyone’s relief.’
A source has since insisted to that ‘this is complete and total nonsense’.
