A couple times a year, we get this insane news cycle that involves famous people proudly admitting to their poor hygiene habits. The latest celeb to admit to their filth is Dylan Efron, brother to Zac. Dylan, who is currently competing on Season 3 of The Traitors, was doing the rapid-fire questions segment on the Are You Okay? show when he was asked to name something that he found to be overrated. Dylan’s answer? ”People take too many showers.” He also doesn’t think people need to put soap on their bodies every time they shower, either. Ummm…
Dylan Efron, Zac Efron’s younger brother and star of The Traitors season 3, has a hot take on personal hygiene. Dylan, 33, shared his thoughts during some rapid-fire questioning while appearing on the interview show Are You Okay? In a clip, which was posted on the show’s official Instagram on Friday, Feb. 28, the reality star admits that he thinks showers are “overrated.”
“I think people shower too much,” he says, 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 points out that you can’t scrub yourself clean in a pool, Dylan replies, “We don’t need to soap our bodies every time we’re in the shower, either. That’s way too much!”
A number of people in the comments section were quick to voice their displeasure with Dylan’s answer, with one writing, “I want to go back to a time I didn’t hear this take on too many showers 😓.”
Another commenter chimed in: “He doesn’t shower, he’s NOT okay.”
During his Are You Okay? appearance, the travel influencer also shared his most “controversial” food opinion: “I do not like croissants,” he declares in the clip.
And when it comes to something Dylan considers underrated?
“This is so corny,” he says with a sheepish smile, before continuing: “Watching more sunsets. Every time I see a sun[set] I run outside and try to watch it.”
Oh. My. God. Well, clearly, he is wrong here, lol. If you watch the video clip (also below), the host cringes when he gives that answer and explanation, too. You don’t need to shower because you spend a lot of time in swimming pools and therefore, the chlorine does the job for you? Too much chlorine isn’t great for you either, dude. It irritates your eyes and dries your skin out! You gotta wash that sh-t off. Chlorine also smells so bad. Well, technically, not bathing also smells bad, too. Does he smell himself? How do you get to be 37 years old and not understand the basic principle of how soap and water works? The soap is what kills the germs, ya knucklehead. I am with him on the sunsets thing, though. I’m also totally that person who has to stop, stare at, and comment on a good sunset every time I see one. But you know what makes a sunset even better? Watching it with someone who is properly bathed.

That’s exactly the same answer my little boy gave years ago when he was at summer camp. I noticed that his bath towel came home still folded. He said he didn’t shower. I asked how he could go 2 weeks without showering and he said “I’m in the pool every day, mom!” Of course he was 9 or 10 years old – not a grown man.
😂
So he wants to make a name for himself as being a non clean human? Seems like a stupid idea. So Ladies if you are willing to go out with him over perfume yourself so you don’t have to smell him.
He sounds delightful, right?
THIS ^^ i think he’s probably like this irl but – he’s dramatizing it, because it will make people talk about him , and therefore make his existence relevant, because did we know he existed before this, even if his brother is uber famous?
Hope it’s his own pool, because I’d ban him from any pool I had control of if he didn’t shower before getting in.
Like, I know I can’t check everyone I share the public pool with, but if I *know* someone doesn’t shower much, I’d definitely be demanding they shower with soap before they get in.
Doesn’t like croissants!! Best bread ever. Stinky and has terrible bread choices. Plus, he was annoying on Traitors.
I didn’t watch Traitors (should I? I LOVE the Housewives because /Marie Kondo voice/ I love mess!) but he seemed cute in all the clips I saw. Until he started talking about THIS!!! Why don’t people (usually straight men) like to shower? Showers objectively feel AMAZING. There’s nothing better than slipping out of a warm bath or shower, throwing a robe over your CLEAN body, and then sitting down to relax. I’ve been known to spend hours in a bubblebath with a good book. I don’t get it.
Also, he doesn’t like croissants? Flakey, delicious croissants?!?!?!?
He looks GREAT in that speedo though! Whew Lawdy!
The Traitors is a lot of fun. Alan Cumming is the campiest hosts in the history of campy hosts.
So gross…. Why? Why do people have such poor hygiene, and then publicize it?
I lived this long no knowing that Zac Efron has a sibling. Now I find out like this? I wish to go back to those halcyon days of ignorance.
Like I say every time this conversation comes up, I’ll judge people on their showering habits when everyone has access to clean water.
I agree with his that Americans in particular take too many showers. it really ISN’T necessary to shower every single day.
on the other hand, I hope he does a good job with wiping his bum, because that’s where American guys fall down on the job.
Nope. Your crevices of your body carry sweat and germs that lead to body odor. If you poop and urinate every day, you need to wash daily with soap and water. I come from a tropical country and showering in the morning and evening was normal. A number of people in the US have body odor issues, which I can only assume is due to lack of showering and poor personal hygiene.
Honestly, can men shower a bit more often, scrub their nether-regions with soap, and wash their hands EVERY time after they use the bathroom? It is shocking how filthy they are!
Chlorine is really bad for your skin and hair. Even if you rinse off afterwards you need some soap buddy. Signed somebody who goes to the pool twice a week.
He’s very sweet on Traitors. Pretty bad at the game, but seems like a really decent person.
If you’re not watching Traitors, it’s so good!
I guess this is why his love life hasn’t been in the news.
You should be watching Traitors. Lots of fun. Alan Cummings makes the show.
You would be surprised to know how many adults seem to live by this ideology…especially during the summer time.
