Matthew McConaughey’s controversial hygiene habit revealed after Kate Hudson exposed secret

Celebs can't seem to get enough of telling us their personal hygiene habits and Kate Hudson has dished the dirt on hers - and Matthew McConaughey's.

It turns out that Kate is partial to a bit of soap dodging - and Matthew is, too.

The longtime friends and collaborators have worked alongside each other to give us iconic films, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Fools Gold.

Kate, 45, and Matthew, 54, have retained an iconic friendship and on occasion attended glam events together or are papped catching up on red carpets.

When appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last month, Kate opened up about just how close they really are.

The fact is that the two know each other so well they know each other's body odours to a tee.

To get even more graphic, the pair of them are extremely likely to forgo deodorant entirely.

Host Andy Cohen asked Kate a question from a fan, which was: "Was that old urban legend true that you forced Matthew McConaughey to wear deodorant while filming Fool’s Gold?"

She retorted: "No. He doesn’t wear deodorant. And by the way, I don’t either."

She then quickly added: "My thing was, I could smell him from - because we were so close! He's, you know, we're au naturale."

So it's that simple for some - no deodorant, no problem.

It isn't entirely clear why Kate opts to let her scent run riot, but Dallas Buyers Club's Matthew hasn't held back when discussing his preference in the past.

After being crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive in 2005, the interviewer asked what a man should 'smell like'.

Matthew responded: "A man. I haven’t worn deodorant in 20 years.”

Considering it's now almost been 20 years since that interview, it seems he's approaching almost 40 years of natural odour now.

He also shared that he is drawn to the same habits in women.

When asked what the sexiest smell is, he responded: "Yourself. The way my woman smells when she wakes up in the morning, no perfume on."

So ladies, if you've been thinking about bagging Matthew, it's time to ditch the deo.

Matthew is far from alone when it comes to being an A-list celebrity who embraces his own natural eau de parfum.

Back in 2021, Jake Gyllenhaal told Vanity fair: "More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times."

He went on to add: "I do also think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves."
