Dylan Efron, determined to clear the air, stripped down to the essentials in a vividly colored Speedo for a new video posted on his Instagram Stories. The 33-year-old star of "The Traitors" set the record straight regarding his recent declaration that showering is "overrated." In this candid clip, Efron defied his unorthodox views by stepping under an outdoor shower, donning a stylish black Speedo adorned with a vibrant green, yellow, and blue pattern.
Visible first under the showerhead, Efron rinses off before shutting off the water and ambling towards the camera. Drenched and gleaming, the reality TV personality runs his hands through his wet hair and across his face, proving that despite his strong stance, he does indeed partake in the daily ritual.
During his appearance on the February 28th episode of the interview show "Are You Okay?", Zac Efron's younger brother had shared his unconventional thoughts on showering. "I think people shower too much," he opined, explaining, "We take way too many showers. I'm always in the pool, where the chlorine takes care of everything." When the host argued that pools aren't a substitute for proper cleaning, Dylan countered, "We don’t need to soap our bodies every shower. It's excessive!"
Viewers were swift to dismiss Dylan's perspective, with one commenting, "I wish I could erase this shower take from my memory." Another remarked, "If he's not showering, he's definitely not okay."
Following these surprising remarks, Efron joined an elite club of celebrities who have publicly admitted their aversion to daily showers. In 2021, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher sparked headlines with their own controversial shower beliefs, revealing during an "Armchair Expert" podcast appearance that they don't wash with soap every day.
The conversation stemmed from hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman discussing their shower routines. When Shepard suggested that Padman should avoid stripping her skin of natural oils with daily soap use, Kunis and Kutcher readily agreed. A flabbergasted Padman inquired, "Who taught you not to wash?" Kunis responded, "I didn't have hot water growing up, so I didn't shower much anyway." She continued, "When I had kids, I didn't wash them every day either. I was never that parent who bathed my newborns."
Months later, Kristen Bell, mother to Lincoln and Delta with her husband Shepard, echoed this sentiment on "The View," addressing the discourse sparked by the podcast. "I'm all for waiting for the stink," she declared. "That's your body's way of telling you it's time to clean up. Honestly, it's just bacteria. Once you smell it, it's a red flag. So, I don't disagree with [Kunis and Kutcher]. I wait for the stink too."
