"He stinks. I mean, it's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy,"complains someone who works in very close quarters with Robert Pattinson. And it's past the point of a little BO. "He completely reeks," complains an annoyed crew member.*
Pattinson has admitted he hates bathing and can go weeks, even months without it. He says he has residual crud in his hair that may never come out. How'd you like to be a stylist dealing with that shit? Or the poor shlub who gets his clothes next..that's what stylist do. The stupid girls who worship him won't care. They'd pay big bucks for his used toilet paper..if he even uses toilet paper. Gross.

LOL i don't buy that any actor goes months without bathing. Days, probably and stink is stink and it's yuck, so thats a real possibility, but no way he goes months without soap and water. As for the hair crud, a stylist would be washing his hair from look to look, he's been 3 hair colors in the past 12 months.
In my younger years, I almost dated this really interesting guy from Ireland. He was super good-looking, charming, intelligent, he knew a little about everything, but he was the most unhygenic person ever. He thought you were doing a disservice to your body by using shampoos, soaps, creams deodorant, etc. I can never understand people like that.
Who are these asshole stars who think smelling like a dumpster is OK, especially when in close proximity to others? That's gotta be a mental disorder.
I don't get this at all. I can go one day without a shower and even then I can't stand myself by day 2. The most I can remember going without a shower is 2 days and I was sick. I would completely lose my shit if I went more than that. Don't get me wrong, I'm no super duper clean freak, but going a week without a shower is just gross. I'm sorry. Even coma patients get baths.
Hope you don't think coma patients, the elderly or other long term patients get bathed everyday because they don't, not even close. Lucky if they make rotation every 5 days, some places are even worse and it's as long as 7 -10. If you have an aging parent in a instutional setting, if your not going in and providing certain daily needs, the staff "get to it when they can". Disturbing, but true.
I can't handle BO and dirty hair, it's disgusting. And theres no excuse for letting yourself be dirty and stink. It's like people who don't think they need to use deodorant. They want to be all natural. How they can't smell their own reek is beyond me. Only humans that can get away with no deo is babies and even they need to be bathed lotioned and powdered regularly!
I didn't get bathed for a week after having a spinal fusion, so no, patients don't get bathed very often. Anyway, I just radiated armpit. I kept saying to the nurses how bad I smelled. They kept saying that they didn't smell anything and that I was fine. Yeah right.
There's this thing called "raw living" or something like that. I've read about it on-line. There are people who don't use soap or shampoo and rarely wash their hair. They claim that after a certain point of "detoxing" by abstaining from the use of harsh soaps/chemicals that the human body doesn't require the aid of hygiene products to remain "fresh" and clean. Thanks, but I'll pass.
3:11 Sadly you're right on about patients getting bathed so rarely. When my mom was in the hospital (for the last 5 years of her life) our family was constantly battling with the nursing staff to get her cleaned up. I don't live where my family is, but when I visited this one time my mom reeked so bad I could barely stand next to her bed. Worse part is...she knew she stunk, too. She claimed she hadn't been bathed in about 2 weeks at that point. Screw the nurses, I went straight to the hospital adminstrator's office and quickly got that resolved. Within 15 minutes of my being there some bitch-ass nurse grudgingly came into the room with her bathing equipment and my mom got her sponge bath. Sorry, but the majority of those bitches don't give a rat's ass about the hygiene needs of the sick or elderly. And while I was there I witnessed numerous occasions where a group of them had gathered in their "meeting" room supposedly working, only to hear them laughing loudly and talking about their weekends and upcoming plans for vacations and whatever. I talked to other patient's family members and everyone complained about the same thing. It's rampant and epidemic. I will die at home in my own filth before I'll let those bitches defile my dying body with their lack of compassion and professionalism.
Sorry, but that's my rant for the day.
He does not shower like Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt.

Why couldn't you or your family bathe your mom? My brother was bathed and fed by family members for the many months he was in the hospital. In many countries that is expected to be done by families. In India the family is to bring in the meals too. I remember a family member of the patient in my brother's room calling the nurses every 5 minutes to do things like fluff pillows, bring ice and so on and so forth. I'm like the ice machine is down the hall around the corner on the right. They ran that poor woman ragged with the constant bell ringing.
My husband just had surgery and I came in bathed and feed him too. He was too goofy from pain meds to do for himself. Any ways I just find it odd that people in this country think health care means bathe me and wash my hair. That's grooming and unless you were without family or friends it’s curious (and maybe a little sad) why you'd need a nurse to do that for you.
6:22 Many people don't live in the same communities as their family in north america, so unless it's within driving distance going in to bathe someone isn't going to happen.
It's expected here that an lpn or na (licensed practical nurse or nursing assistent) is going to see to a patients extended care, as only a RN can administer meds and see to dressings, they don't feeding, changing etc, unless extra care & hands are needed for some extended medical reasons. Unions have everything catagorized to death.
As for meals, they are provided as part of your hospital stay, because often people are placed on specific diet restrictions, your often discouraged not to bring in certain things. The cost of a hospital stay in North America can't compair to prices in India, at 3000 to 5000 a day a great deal is expected.
But sadly as other posters above have mentioned, the elderly & severly challenged or limited patients who are in long term care, honestly, in my opinion, their day to day care amounts to no more then neglect and it's shameful. But again, the aged person isn't respected and revered here as they are in other cultures. And that too is shameful.
I agree with you though that some people go to hospital and act like they are on vacation, suddenly unable to do a thing for thmeselves. It's annoying as hell to be stuck in a room with someone like that.
One Word: Smegma!
I highly doubt he doesnt shower for "weeks" at a time. Wouldnt his ass and balls get a little itchy after awhile?
Ugh, I know not everyone has family near by, but not everyone is languishing in neglect either. Besides, the older people get the less they want to bathe due to dry skin--I've seen it with my elderly relatives. I think too many people expect the hotel treatment and get tricked into thinking that a nice new building with the latest diagnostics or most doting nurses is the "best" place. I'd be a lot happier if people cared about quality care provided at affordable rates.
I go to the hospital to receive treatment, not to watch the plasma TV or enjoy the 24 hour room service.
Long term care facilities are more sensitive because people do want to feel at home, but then again, high staff/resident rations, smiling and welcoming staff, and close relationships between caregivers and residents are far more important. Working as a nursing assistant is a difficult job, both physically and psychologically. The job can kill you if you don't find a way to cope with a lot of what you see. Death and suffering is unpleasant and sometimes medicine can't stop it; to survive you have to become habituated to things others would find intolerable.
It's not pleasant to be surrounded people with dementia who scream all the time, or clean up incontinence, or feed someone who is losing the ability to swallow. If you think some of the caregivers are so terrible picture doing their job yourself 40 hours a week.
Wow, I worked as a nurse's aide for a few years and the most infrequent bathers got washed twice a week. Is this what health care has become in this country? Well, thank God we don't have socialized medicine, huh?
I find that there is something sexy about a man who doesnt bathe or shower for awhile. All those natural manly scents become so strong and powerful. The smell of sweat just turns me on !
