Mila Kunis ignores bathing remarks after sparking celebrity hygiene debate

Mila Kunis is trying to set the record straight when it comes to bathing, but it’s questionable if her latest comments will settle the celebrity hygiene debate once and for all.

Appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday, the “Black Swan” actress clarified that her “every day intention is to bathe my children” and called the headlines her previous position had generated as “so stupid”.

“I wake up every day and I’m like ‘Today I’m going to take a shower with my kids,'” joked Kunis, who shares her daughter Wyatt, 6, and son Dimitri, 4, with his husband Ashton Kutcher. “And then bedtime rolls around, and I forgot to feed them, anyway… This story has taken such a turn.”

Kunis, who recently wrapped filming on Netflix’s “Luckiest Girl Alive,” generated an abundance of soapy headlines in July following a joint interview with Kutcher on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. In it, she stated that she did not wash “her body with soap every day”.

As for their children, Kutcher added, “If you can see the dirt on them, clean them up. Otherwise, it’s no use. “

Since then, everyone from Jake Gyllenhaal to Jason Momoa to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has responded to the comments by offering insight into their swimming habits in interviews and on social media.

At first, Gyllenhaal appeared to side with Kunis and Kutcher when he told Vanity Fair in August that he found “bathing less necessary” lately. At a screening of his new movie “The Guilty” last week, however, he made it clear that he was “sarcastic and ironic”.

“Unfortunately, I showered before I came here,” he told BuzzFeed. “I’m sorry, everyone.”

Regarding personal hygiene, Kunis told DeGeneres on Tuesday that she “takes a shower every day, but I don’t wash my hair every day.”

“Children, there is a body of water that they touch almost every day,” she continued. “Almost every other day. Sometimes it’s the pool, sometimes it’s a sprinkler. It just depends. It was COVID! Who showered in COVID? We haven’t left the house! We do not care?”
