After the trend of celebrities sharing their controversial bathing habits went viral, Aquaman star Jason Momoa made his position on personal hygiene clear while doing press for his upcoming movie, Sweet Girl. Momoa first hit the scene in 1999 playing Jason Ioane on Baywatch: Hawaii. However, it wasn’t until 2011 when he truly stepped into the spotlight after playing Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of HBO’s hit fantasy series, Game of Thrones. Since 2011, Momoa has portrayed the half-human, half-Atlantean superhero, Aquaman (a.k.a. Arthur Curry), in the DCEU.
Celebrity hygiene has—strangely enough—become a trending topic in recent weeks, sparking somewhat of a Hollywood bathing debate. The conversation started when Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher told Dax Shepard that they don’t bathe daily, Kunis adding: “I don’t wash my body with soap every day.” They also explained that they didn’t wash their kids daily when they were young, raising some eyebrows from readers, and yes, other celebs. On Twitter, Dwayne Johnson said that he’s “the opposite of a ‘not washing themselves’ celeb,” and showers at least 3 times a day. Other A-listers have taken their sides, with Shepard’s wife, Kristen Bell, and actor Jake Gyllenhaal agreeing with Kunis and Kutcher’s more causal approach to bathing. Jodie Turner-Smith, on the other hand, reacted by tweeting: “Before you lot even ask: in this house, we bathe.”
In an interview with Access Hollywood alongside co-star Isabel Merced, the whole celebrity showering debate came up in conversation. Momoa insisted that while other celebs might skip out on their daily hygiene rituals, he prefers to stay squeaky clean. Momoa told the interviewer, “I’m Aquaman. I’m in the f–king water. Don’t worry about it. I’m Hawaiian. We got saltwater on me. We good.”
Before Momoa returns to the water in Aquaman, his next film Sweet Girl is set to arrive on Netflix later this month. The action-thriller film stars Momoa and Merced as father-daughter duo Raymond “Ray” and Rachel Cooper as they seek revenge against a pharmaceutical company that pulled a drug that could have saved his wife’s life. Sweet Girl seems to be a gritty, emotional story with plenty of potential for Momoa to flex his acting chops—certainly a different direction than most of his fans are used to seeing in Aquaman.
After the massive success of DC’s Aquaman in 2018, it came as no surprise that a sequel (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) would soon be following. While not much is currently known about the Aquaman sequel, one thing’s for certain: fans of Momoa can rest easy knowing their favorite celeb stays clean after splashing around in all that saltwater. It will be interesting to see how this ongoing celebrity showering debate plays out and which star will be the next to reveal their personal hygiene habits.
