“Barbie” Star America Ferrera Revealed Her Dirty Little Secret, Admitting She Doesn’t Shower for Days

The movie Barbie produced by Warner Bros showcased an outstanding ensemble, including renowned actors America Ferrera, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling as co-stars. Time magazine recognized America Ferrera as one of the 100 most influential individuals globally in 2017. Interestingly, the talented star has now revealed a fascinating aspect of her personal preferences.

America Ferrera disclosed her unexpected guilty pleasure.

During a video interview, Barbie star America Ferrera made a candid confession that added an exciting twist to the conversation. Engaging in a game to test their knowledge of each other’s lives, the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, and her co-stars Margot Robbie, Kate McKinnon, and Issa Rae were all challenged to guess Ferrera’s secret guilty pleasure.

Among the array of food-related guesses, Gerwig eventually proposed that it might not be food-related at all. To this, Ferrera replied, “No, I don’t feel guilty about any of those things, but my guilty pleasure would be... I’m going to really regret saying this... It’s not showering for a few days.” Her candid response left her colleagues in shock.

Ferrera is not alone in her aversion to showering.

America Ferrera is not the first celebrity to openly discuss her bathing habits. In 2021, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis made headlines when they revealed that they don’t bathe their children every day. Kunis humorously stated, “Now, here’s the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point.”

Kristen Bell also admitted that she waits until her daughters have a noticeable odor before giving them a wash. Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal shared that he doesn’t bathe every day, as he believes it’s beneficial for his skin maintenance.

There is no ideal frequency for showering, scientists claim.

Experts suggest that there is no one-size-fits-all perfect shower routine. For the majority of people, showering several times per week is considered adequate, unless specific circumstances like excessive dirt, sweat, or other factors necessitate more frequent showers. Quick showers lasting three or four minutes, with emphasis on cleaning the armpits and groin, can be sufficient to maintain good hygiene. Ultimately, it is essential to consider individual needs and preferences when determining the most suitable shower routine.

By the way, if you have already watched Barbie, chances are you will thoroughly enjoy the red carpet outfits of the movie’s main star, Margot Robbie. Her attire is notably inspired by the real-life outfits of the legendary Mattel dolls, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans of the movie.
