What do you think Kate Hudson is trying to convey to Matthew McConaughey here?  Maybe she is reading to him about the importance of personal hygiene.

Apparently, Matthew McConaughey stinks!  Although it’s no secret that McConaughey doesn’t wear deodorant, Kate Hudson, his Fool’s Gold co-star didn’t appreciate his lack of hygiene.

While on the set of their latest joint outing, Fool’s Gold (they also co-starred in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days back in 2003), the actress begged the shirtless one to scrap his long-standing anti-deodorant policy.

“She always brings a salt rock, which is some natural deodorant, and says, ‘Would you please put this on?’” he said, according to Contactmusic.com. “I just never wore it. No cologne, no deodorant.”

And he hasn’t worn it for more than 20 years. Though Matthew has insisted that the ladies dig it (once saying, “The women in my life, including my mother, have all said, ‘Hey, your natural smell smells, one, like a man, and, two, smells like you,’” which is both obvious and genius on several different levels), Kate, apparently, was an exception.

Not that he’s against hygiene. Far from it, as he brushes his teeth at least five times a day and claims, “I take a few [showers] a day.”

Matt seemed to have a good sense of humor about the whole thing (he was the one, after all, telling the story), but he was also quick to point out that Kate was the only co-star of his to bring it up.

We’ve never personally smelled McConaughey, but we suspect Hudson is right about the actor needing deodorant.  It’s like if someone offers you a breath mint, you take it.  You may not realize your breath stinks, but it probably does if someone is nicely offering you something to mask the odor.  So if Kate was begging him to put on deodorant, then Matt probably stinks.
