“Even before he moved to Hollywood, he was the ultimate hippie type who didn't care if he offended anyone by being entirely au naturel," added the source.

The insider claimed that Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, Martin’s ex-wife, tolerated the hygiene habits during their marriage, saying, “She thought it was awesome that Chris was doing his bit for the environment.”
