Leonardo DiCaprio rarely showers, refuses to use deodorant

Leonardo DiCaprio only showers a couple of days a week and refuses to wear deodorant because of his concerns for the environment, it has been revealed.

His poor personal hygiene has reportedly upset girlfriend Erin Heatherton.

“Leo has let his love for the environment take over his whole world and it’s killing his love life,” Contact music quoted a source as saying.

“He only showers a couple of days a week to conserve water and he considers deodorant to be unnatural.

“Erin loves him dearly but is starting to feel like Leo loves the environment more than her,” the source added.

DiCaprio is said to be an “avid” recycler, but regularly misses the pick up days, leaving his kitchen with a foul odour from the rubbish left behind.

“Erin has warned him to clean up his act and his hygiene. If not, he may wind up chasing off the woman of his dreams,” the source added to National Enquirer magazine.

The Titanic actor isn’t the only star to have been criticised for their poor personal hygiene.

It has previously been claimed that Robert Pattinson rarely showers and has upset cast and crew on the Twilight Saga with his pungent body odour.

A source close to the star - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the film franchise - previously said: “He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy. He completely reeks.”
