Is 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson in Hollywood's elite bad (smelling) boys club?
By Elizabeth Snead
After those nasty rumors – and that’s all they were, we’re sure – about "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson’s personal hygiene not being up to sniff, we got to thinking about the appeal of bed-headed rocker-style actors such as Pattinson, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell.
So we made a list of some of the hot Hollywood hunks who look -- or used to look -- like they might need a good suds and scrub. They look like they still carry the sexy scent of last night's ciggies, red wine and strange perfume. We think it might be the cultivated whiff of danger and devil-may-care air about these guys that makes them seem so darn hot. You'll notice Zac Efron and the Jonas Brothers are NOT on this list. Although, after Zac's ear-wax TMZ report, we may have to make him a possible BSB contender.
Who do you most want to sniff? Or take a bath with?
Robert Pattinson
Blood hounded
“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson has joked to the press about smelling bad. "I don't have much of a sense of personal hygiene or styling or anything," he's told reporters. In GQ, his clothes were described as smelling "like he recently purchased them off the back of someone less fortunate than he." But his pub-crawling ways have added grist to the smelly rumor mill. And then there’s his chain smoking, which adds a whole new level of reekdom. Maybe Pattinson stays unwashed to play the undead creature Edward. "He smells great," Kristen Stewart said before "Twilight" opened last year. "It's kind of an animalist thing that goes on. It went along with the movie, so it was perfect
Woody Harrelson
Joint Project
Oooo, that smell. Can’t you smell that smell…? Bearded and wool-hatted organic bad boy Woody Harrelson always looks like he rolls his own. Incense, we’re talking incense.
Joaquin Phoenix
Eau de Hobo
Ever since he quit acting for a hip-hop career, Joaquin Phoenix has started dressing like an unwashed hobo, and his personal hygiene seems to be slipping. "How was your time with Ted Kaczynski?” David Letterman asked him, referring to Phoenix’s bizarre resemblance to the reclusive, bearded Unabomber.
Russell Crowe
Outback Boy
Aussie actor Russell Crowe has cleaned up his act in the past few years but there’s the unpredictable whiff of the Outback about him. With his phone tossing, who was gonna question his personal hygiene habits? Not us, that’s for sure. However, Joan Rivers once commented “I prefer to sit downwind of him at showbiz bashes." Ha. We feel the same way about her. The formaldehyde burns our eyes!
Josh Holloway
Lost the Soap?
Unwashed “Lost” star Josh Holloway often looks likes he’s really residing on a deserted tropical island. Typecasting? But we’d go back to the island – screw the bears, mist or dinosaurs -- for this au naturale dude any day.
Matthew McConnaughey
Beach Bummed
Matthew McConnaughey always looks like he looks like he smells of salt, sand, cannabis and stale coconut oil. He’s freely admitted that he shuns deodorant and cologne. Asked by People magazine what a man should smell like, he replied, "like a man. I haven't worn deodorant in 20 years." Yikes. And then there’s that naked bongo-playing image we have never managed to shake. Euuw.
Jared Leto
Party Animal
Jared Leto looks like the ultimate rocker/actor Party Boy. But he’s still sexy as all get out. Maybe it's true: you can take the boy out of the party, but you can’t scrub the party off the boy.
Johnny Depp
Stinky Boy
Johnny Depp is known for his eccentric wardrobe and disheveled locks, smoking Gauloise with a carafe of his favorite Bordeaux and a café noir. Even though the father of two cleans up for movie roles, including John Dillinger in the upcoming “Public Enemy,” his look is still less Father Knows Best and more Every Dad’s Nightmare.
Viggo Mortensen
Lord of the Nose Ring Viggo Mortensen was said to have gotten so into warrior Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings" that he slept in the woods, according to the Toronto Star. His "Rings" costars -- like Sean Bean -- complained that Viggo often smelled like he slept in Fangorn Forest. Method acting? Or just bad personal hygiene? Viggo, meet Mr. Shower!
Keanu Reeves
Personal Best
Keanu Reeves has cleaned up his act over the past few years. But we still prefer the old unwashed-looking Keanu, who looked like he was too busy partying to bother to wash up. What’s that smell? Keanu # 5, our fave!
Mickey Rourke
Hop Scotch
Mickey Rourke used to look like he smelled like stale cigarettes, red wine and cheap scotch. But after winning awards for his tour de force in “The Wrestler,” he now looks like he smells like stale cigarettes, red wine and expensive scotch. And hair dye.
Colin Farrell
The Human Ashtray
Even clean and sober, Irish actor Colin Farrell still has the air of the pub about him. It’s partly the ungroomed hair, the tatts, scruffy beard and clothes that look slept in. But it’s also his nicotine habit. Even when he’s talking to TV crews on red carpets, he’s puffing like a chimney. Please quit, Colin. We love you, not your ciggies.
Robert Downey Jr.
Mr. Clean
Robert Downey Jr. used to be such an appealing mess of a lad. Check out his disheveled hair, wild stubble, bloodshot eyes and confused air. Now he’s clean, sober, responsible and making a mint in big action movies like “Iron Man.” He looks like he smells better these days. Did we catch a whiff of spray tan?
Benecio Del Toro
Spanish Fly
Benecio Del Toro always looks like he’s been awake for three days straight. Unwashed hair, dark circles under his puffy, bloodshot eyes. So why is he still so hot? It’s a mystery.
