Jake Gyllenhaal: This Hollywood actor has an unconventional take on bathing and believes it’s an exercise in futility. "More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times … [I] think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves,” said Gyllenhaal in an interview with Vanity Fair. He’s equally perturbed by loofahs. “I always am baffled that loofahs come from nature. They feel like they’ve been made in a factory, but, in fact, it’s just not true. Since I was young, it’s amazed me. More and more, I find bathing to be less necessary,” he added.
