While appearing on the Feb. 28 episode of the interview showAre You Okay?,Zac Efron’s younger brothershared his hot take on showers. “I think people shower too much,” he said, adding, “We take way too many showers. I go in the pool a lot. Like, there’s chlorine — it’s killing everything.”

When the show’s host pointed out that you can’t properly wash yourself in a pool, he replied, “We don’t need to soap our bodies every time we’re in the shower, either. That’s way too much!”

Another commenter wrote, “He doesn’t shower, he’s NOT okay.”

The couple — who share daughterWyatt Isabelleand sonDimitri Portwood— revealed during an appearance on theArmchair Expertpodcastthat they don’t believe in washing with soap every day.

The subject came up when co-hostsDax Shepardand Monica Padman started discussing how frequently they shower. When Shepard insisted that Padman  “should not be getting rid of the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day” and instead only wash with water," Kunis and Kutcher agreed.

“I can’t believe I am in the minority here of washing my whole body in the shower. Who taught you to not wash?” Padman asked, to which Kunis replied, “I didn’t have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn’t shower much anyway.”

“But when I had children, I also didn’t wash them every day,” she actress continued. “I wasn’t that parent that bathed my newborns — ever.”

“I’m a big fan of waiting for the stink. Once you catch a whiff, that’s biology’s way of letting you know you need to clean it up,” she said. “There’s a red flag. Honestly, it’s just bacteria; once you get bacteria you gotta be like, ‘Get in the tub or the shower.’ So I don’t hate what [Kunis and Kutcher] are doing. I wait for the stink.”
