Marilyn Monroe has by now become an international icon. She was, and still is, considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and perhaps the world. And she was, and still is, a sex symbol. Countless men wanted to kiss her. But, apparently, while the actress may have been extremely beautiful, her personal hygiene was incredibly poor.

According to her co-star Clark Gable, who was apparently a neat freak (even if he did have bad breath later on in his life), Monroe farted excessively and she hated bathing, which disgusted the actor. According to Gable’s biographer, David Bret, Monroe “could not have been less fastidious regarding her personal hygiene.”

12. Jennifer Lawrence Eats Garlic And Tuna Fish Before Kissing Scenes On Purpose

While many men would give anything to kiss the beautiful and adorable actress Jennifer Lawrence, some men find kissing her incredibly uncomfortable. When Lawrence starred in the Hunger Games alongside Liam Hemsworth she apparently ate smelly foods on purpose.

Hemsworth says – “Anytime I had to kiss Jennifer was pretty uncomfortable. When you look at it on the outside it looks like a great picture. She’s one of my best friends. I love her. But if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting and right before the scene she’d be like ‘ I didn’t brush my teeth.’ I’d be like ‘great, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it.”

11. Matthew McConaughey Smelled So Bad That Kate Hudson Brought Him Deodorant

Some people just hate wearing deodorant. And so they don’t much to the dismay of those around them. Take the actor Matthew McConaughey, for example. He doesn’t wear deodorant or cologne. And he hasn’t worn one for over 20 years.

But while some may keep quiet about their co-star’s bad odor, others will have no qualms about calling out their poor hygiene. The actress Kate Hudson falls in the latter category. When Hudson and McConaughey were shooting Fool’s Gold together, Hudson apparently asked McConaughey to put on some deodorant.

McConaughey has said – “She always brings a salt rock, which is some natural deodorant, and says, ‘Would you please put this on?’ I just never wore it. No cologne, no deodorant. […] The women in my life, including my mother, have all said, ‘Hey your natural smells, one, like a man, and, two, smells like you.”
