Title: MSNBC Presents "Actors who look like they smell bad"
Post by: smellykellyjay on March 12, 2008, 08:28:07 am

Jake is one of the candidates in the live vote near the bottom of the page.  He never struck me as particularly stinky.  If he uses Polo cologne, then I might have to vote for him. 

He's in the bottom five as of the time I'm posting this: 
Josh Holloway (0.5%)
Jake Gyllenhaal (0.3%)
Wentworth Miller (0.3%)
Christian Bale (0.2%)
Timothy Hutton (0.2%)

Seems kinda unfair to include Holloway and Miller since they play characters in extreme circumstances.  Let's see (or in this case, smell) the author of the article try to smell like a rose stranded on an island or in prison.  No matter how he smells, Miller looks like he tasteses good.  Bale does too.  I think Hutton got so few votes because some of the young uns might not know who he is. 

Tobey McGuire is in there with 0.6% of the vote.  I wonder if some voters confused him with Jake and voted incorrectly.  I'm curious to see the exit polls.  I demand a recount! 

What an odd article.  People get paid to come up with stuff like this?  And busy as I am, I'm wasting time reading, examining and posting about it?  Don't know which is worse. 

Reminds me of a former roommate of mine who didn't like some actresses because she said they looked like they smelled like pee.  Her girlfriend and I never could figure out how someone would meet that criteria. 

Oh well.  I'm gonna go take a shower now.

What a goofy, funny topic for MSNBC to be running.  I wonder how on earth they came up with that topic to begin with?

I'm surprised by Jake being on the list at all, because he usually looks particularly well-groomed (at official interviews, etc. especially).

Thanks for the chuckle Bud!

Did Colin Farrell or Johnny Depp make the list?

Did they have any women on their list?

Women who I think have got their stank on:

Drew Barrymore
Britney Spears
Kirstie Alley
Carnie Wilson

I dont' understand how you can tell if someone stinks by looking at a picture...when I see some actor looking all ratty I just assume it is a 'style statement' and he is supposed to 'look' that way..

I guess I just assume good hygiene unless proven otherwise..

Brad Pitt always looks like he needs to wash his hair, and his face looks dirty to me.

It's just an impression one gets.  Completely subjective and based on nothing at all. 

My Britney one was based on the fact that she is a country girl from Louisiana, she wore all those cheap gauzy outfits while going barefoot to gas station bathrooms and tracking her dirty unpleasantly grubby feet all over the place.  She wears hair extensions constantly and wigs, the extensions are difficult to wash, and some people wear wigs when they don't want to wash their hair.  She doesn't seem to be worried particularly about being clean - especially the feet thing, hence, Britney looks like she's not very hygenic.

And to be equal here, back before he cleaned up his act, Colin Farrell was a serious Irish lad.  He hardly ate and drank and smoked a lot.  My sister commented and I agreed, that he looks like he'd smell of old beer and stale cigarette smoke, especially when he perspired.   :P

I'm still trying to figure out why Timothy Hutton (smelly or not)  is on the list at all!  ???

After reading the article I'm kinda liking Matthew McConaughey!  There's nothing worse than getting your tongue covered with deodorant, lol!

True, but then again, Kate Hudson said she could 'recognize his smell from a distance.'

I guess she was kidding.  Maybe?   :P

That may be true, Oilgun but c'mon now, you really wanna smell that funk for more than an hour or two?! I'll take fresh scrubbed, out-of-the-shower over 'natural' scent any time.

  HE  SAID .HE TAKES ATE LEAST TWO OR THREE SHOWERS A DAY. . I dont see how he could stink.. seems he is just the opposite, kind of obsessive about hygiene.

    Matthew McConahey is notorious for not believing in wearing deodorant.. puewww
body odor is not acceptable, unless you just got finished playing a sport or the other thing
that produces sweat.  ewwww

Really! You can practically smell the soap just looking at his picture.

Sure enough, but you'll have to provide your own cream rinse. ...

If any of the BBM actors were to be in the poll at that time, I thought it would have been Heath.
