Jake Gyllenhaal tells Vanity Fair magazine that, like Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell and Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, he does not always bathe. Saying “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times. I do believe, that good manners and bad breath get you nowhere. So I do that. But I do also think that there’s a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves.”

Shower (hot) after I get home from work. Face wash, body wash, exfoliate and I sing (off key) in the shower’
