00:00Clark Gable was undeniably one of old Hollywood's most dashing leading men, but allegedly he

00:05also had an intense fixation on cleanliness.

00:08According to a Clark Gable biography by Warren G. Harris, the actor was not a fan of being

00:12dirty in any capacity.

00:14Apparently while in the military, Gable was so averse to sweating that he shaved the hair

00:17from his body, believing that his hairiness contributed to more perspiration.

00:22But that wasn't all.

00:23Oddly enough though, Gable didn't like the idea of taking baths, as he felt as though

00:27it was like stewing in contaminated water.

00:30To remedy this while serving in the army, he towed it around his very own portable shower.

00:34Other sources also claim that he switched up his sheets daily.

00:37However, there was one area of personal hygiene that Gable was surprisingly terrible at maintaining.

00:42You see, Gable had a reputation for having the worst smelling breath.

00:47His famous co-star Vivian Lee even made some comments about the intimate scenes that they

00:50shared while filming Gone with the Wind.

00:53According to her, his dentures smelled something awful.
