In 2005, when Matthew McConaughey was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, he told the world, “I have never worn deodorant in 20 years.” McConaughey is not alone on this. Stars like Cameron Diaz skip antiperspirants because, as she told E! News, “I don’t think in antiperspirant. […] It’s really bad for you. I have never used it for nearly 20 years.” McConaughey’s stance doesn’t appear to be over health concerns; the actor just seems to not think it’s mandatory. Reportedly in a 2008 interview with Playboy, McConaughey said, “The ladies in my life, including my mother, have all said, ‘Hey, your natural smell smells, one, like a person, and, two, smells such as you.'”

That’s, until he worked with Kate Hudson, who begged him to make use of her natural deodorant while filming “Idiot’s Gold.” McConaughey reportedly told Playboy, “Kate Hudson cannot stand it. She all the time brings a salt rock, which is a few natural deodorant, and says, ‘Would you please put this on?'” Apparently, others have worked with McConaughey and located absolutely nothing offensive about his smell. Yvette Nicole Brown, who worked with the actor on “Tropic Thunder,” told “The Jess Cagle Show,” “He smells like granola and good living.”

It should have been extra hot in Australia while filming “Idiot’s Gold,” or perhaps McConaughey began taking multiple showers day by day due to Hudson’s complaints about his body odor. Either way, the 2 actors have made a few movies together, they usually had great screen chemistry — even when she thought he smelled bad.
