Jason Momoa Confirms He Showers Daily Amid Hygiene Debate: 'I'm Aquaman'
Jason Momoa has assured his fans that he showers daily and joked that he's fine with it because he's Aquaman.
Momoa appeared on "Access Hollywood" with Isabel Merced Monday to talk about his upcoming Netflix movie "Sweet Girl." It was during their guesting that the 42-year-old actor's hygiene was brought up.
"I'm not starting any trends. I shower, trust me. I'm Aquaman," Momoa said. "I'm in the f--king water. Don't worry about it. I'm Hawaiian. We got saltwater on me. We good."
Momoa isn't the only celebrity who supports the idea of showering daily. Last week, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson replied to a fan who was curious if the "Jungle Cruise" star also follows other celebrities who don't wash themselves every day.
"Nope, I'm the opposite of a 'not washing themselves' celeb. Shower (cold) when I roll outta bed to get my day rollin," he wrote. "Shower (warm) after my workout before work. Shower (hot) after I get home from work. Face wash, body wash, exfoliate and I sing (off key) in the shower."
It was Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher who sparked the ongoing debate about how often people should clean themselves.
During their appearance on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's "Armchair Expert" podcast on July 19, the couple admitted to not bathing their children until they see dirt on them. "I didn't have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn't shower much anyway," Kunis explained.
Following Kutcher and Kunis, Shepard's wife, Kristen Bell, revealed she likes to wait for the stink before bathing their children.
"I'm a big fan of waiting for the stink," Bell said as she appeared on "The View" with Shepard earlier this month. "Once you catch a whiff, that's biology's way of letting you know you need to clean it up. There's a red flag. Honestly, it's just bacteria; once you get bacteria you gotta be like, 'Get in the tub or the shower.' So I don't hate what [Kunis and Kutcher] are doing. I wait for the stink."
Jake Gyllenhaal also weighed in on the matter during an interview with Vanity Fair last week.
"More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times," Gyllenhaal noted. "I do believe because Elvis Costello is wonderful, that good manners and bad breath get you nowhere. So I do that. But 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."
Besides his role as Aquaman, Momoa is also known for playing Khal Drogo in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones." His upcoming flick, "Sweet Girl," is set to come out on Aug. 20.
