Yvette Nicole Brown, who worked with Matthew McConaughey in ‘Tropic Thunder’ also shared her curiosity on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show in 2021.
“I remember that Matthew McConaughey said that he did not use deodorant and that he didn't have an odor. So my first thought is, 'I'm going to get as close as I can to him to see if he's right,'" she shared.
“He did not have an odor. He smells like granola and good living. He has a sweet, sweet scent that is just him and it's not musty or crazy," Brown continued. "I believe he bathes because he smells delicious. He just didn't have deodorant on."
