Terry Crews could lose his Black card, again, after weighing in on the showering debacle following revelations from celebrities who've said they don’t shower frequently.
During an interview with Access Hollywood, the 53-year-old actor said “If you ain’t been sweating, you don’t need to shower."
“But I spend all day sweating, all the time, running and working out, and it ain’t nice. My wife is like, ‘Babe, babe, babe.’ I’m Mr. Old Spice, you know what I mean? So I’ve got to get clean,” he continued.
Some people took to Twitter to troll the actor for his comments.

One Twitter user stated that Crews' public relations team is probably stressed because every once in a while the actor says something outlandish.

Crews' comment falls in line with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis who both said they don’t bathe every day and only wash their children if they appear to be filthy, as Blavity previously reported.
Last week, BrokeBack Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal revealed during an interview with Vanity Fair that he doesn’t find it necessary to bathe daily.
"I do also think that there's a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves," Gyllenhaal.
Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell stated she doesn’t shower daily either, due to environmental reasons, Daily Blast Live reported.
“California has been in a drought forever. It's just like, responsibility for your environment. We don't have a ton of water, so when I shower, I'll grab the girls and push them in there with me so we all use the same shower water," she said.
Crews' comments come after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted that he was “’the opposite of a ‘not washing themselves’ celeb.” He even stated that he sings off-key while showering three times a day.
Nope, I’m the opposite of a “not washing themselves” celeb.
Shower (cold) when I roll outta bed to get my day rollin’.
Shower (warm) after my workout before work.
Shower (hot) after I get home from work.
Face wash, body wash, exfoliate and I sing (off key) in the shower ???? ???? https://t.co/iE6ZPhrthL— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) August 7, 2021
Although Crews told Access Hollywood that he showers three times a day like The Rock, it's clear that if he didn't exercise as much as he does, he would be one of those "not washing themselves celebs."
