“Nope, I’m the Opposite”: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Once Wanted No Part of Jake Gyllenhaal, Mila Kunis, and More Hollywood Stars’ Unhygienic Trend

Dwayne Johnson is an unconventional Hollywood star. He went from being an outsider in the movie business to becoming one of Hollywood’s leading actors today. The People’s Champion, however, is unlike many of his contemporaries. While he loves trends, The Rock once refused to be a part of one that didn’t fit his lifestyle.

The said trend had many Hollywood A-listers, including power couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, taking part. But, the 51-year-old stayed away.

What did Dwayne Johnson refuse and why?

In July 2021, Kunis and her Husband Kutcher kicked off a bathing debate after they shared their shower routine. Appearing on a podcast, Kutcher said there was no point in taking a bath if there was no dirt. His sentiments were backed by Kunis. As the podcast aired, so did people’s reactions to it.

Soon, several Hollywood celebrities weighed in. While one might think the celebs would keep themselves clean, to maintain their flawless look, it appeared otherwise. Kunis and Kutcher received support from stars like Kristen Bell and Jake Gyllenhaal, as the debate gathered pace.

This is where Johnson stepped in and shared his largely different routine. While rejecting himself as a “not washing themselves” celeb”, the 51-year-old shared that he took three showers a day. The Brahma Bull takes a cold shower to start his day, followed it up with a warm one, which he takes after his workout, and ends with a hot shower after returning home from work.

Apart from his showers, The Rock used the space as his singing booth. “Face wash, body wash, exfoliate and I sing (off key) in the shower 🧼 🎶,” his tweet read.

No wonder, The Rock is never afraid of asking people to ‘smell’ what he’s cooking.

Is Dwayne Johnson going overboard with his cleaning rituals?

There is little doubt that one wouldn’t smell bad while adhering to Dwayne Johnson-esque cleaning. To make his case stronger, one of Johnson’s co-stars, Auliʻi Cravalho, complimented the burly actor for smelling nice. But, is The Rock overdoing his cleaning?

There is a common belief that not bathing daily could be unhygienic, but according to a 2021 study by Harvard Health Publishing, taking a bath every day can be harmful to humans.

The study suggests regular baths can leave the skin dry and cracked, making it susceptible to skin infections. Apart from it, frequent baths can also leave the immune system compromised, according to the study.
