Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher slammed for claiming they ‘only bathe’ their kids ‘when they can see dirt on them’
MILA Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are being slammed after they claimed they "only bathe" their kids "when they can see dirt on them."
The famous couple share daughter Wyatt Isabelle, six, and son Dimitri Portwood, four.
During an interview on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's popular podcast Armchair Expert, the Hollywood pair revealed to listeners just how often they decide to bathe their children.
It all kicked off when Dax insisted that Monica "should not be getting rid of the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day" and should instead only wash with water, something that Ashton, 43, and Mila, 37, both agreed with.
"I can't believe I am in the minority here of washing my whole body in the shower. Who taught you to not wash?" Monica asked, to which Mila replied, "I didn't have hot water growing up as a child, so I didn't shower much anyway."
Mila, who shared screen time with Ashton on That '70s Show, continued: "But when I had children, I also didn't wash them every day. "I wasn't that parent that bathed my newborns — ever."
The former Punk'd host added: "Now, here's the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there's no point."
According to The American Academy of Dermatology Association, kids ages 6 to 11 "may not need a daily bath," but they should at least wash once or twice a week.
'NOTHING ELSE'
However, despite not being in that 6 to 11 age range, Ashton and Mila also aren't the biggest fans of daily showering.
Ashton, who was almost on the Virgin Galactic flight, confessed on the podcast: "I wash my armpits and my crotch daily, and nothing else ever. I got a bar of Lever 2000 that delivers every time. Nothing else."
The actor added: "I do have a tendency to throw some water on my face after a workout to get all the salts out...I do wash my face twice a day."
FANS RIP THE STARS
Fans were not supportive of Ashton and Mila's showering tendencies when it comes to their kids or themselves, as they took to Twitter to react.
One person wrote: "Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis talking about not bathing their kids everyday with soap is about the grossest thing I’ve heard all month long!"
Another added: "Um, no. My kids are catching a bath EVERY day," while one chimed in, "his is gross! It’s child neglect! Most of these celebrities are literally insane!"
Not everyone was on the rip Ashton and Mila train, as one person supported them and wrote: "Just proving that the media will make big news out of anything! Washing away body oils everyday is not good for the skin. I agree with Mila."
Ashton and Mila began dating just a few months after his relationship with Demi Moore, and they would tie the knot in 2015.
