“I’m here to tell everyone, it doesn’t work.” Jerry O’Connell was talking about the crystal deodorant his wife, Rebecca Romijn, wears, and he said it on a Monday episode of the “Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim” podcast.
The product is a mineral-salt stick sold as a chemical-free way to stop odor. O’Connell, 52, was clear about its performance. “The crystals under the arms doesn’t work,” he said.
Then came the part that got attention. “Now I don’t mind the way my wife, it doesn’t offend me. I actually, this is gonna get a little dirty, I kind of like it when I can smell my wife’s body odor.” He tried to explain. “It’s kind of like, yeah, she’s alive, we’re alive, we’re living. It’s, like, a little kicking and like, it’s a little funky town.”
Earlier in the same conversation he had said, “No offense to the roll-on deodorant industry, I don’t think it works as well as spray.”
Social media splits
The clip spread on social media, and users did not agree. “Marriage goals: loving the funk,” one wrote. Another joked, “Dinner tonight’s gonna be fun.” Others had little patience. “Is this suppose to be funny,” one asked. “He gets worse every interview,” said another. A third offered advice: “Ummm sometimes saying less is more.”
The couple married in 2007 and will reach their 19th anniversary on July 14. Their twin daughters, Dolly and Charlie, are 17. Their romance began in 2004, the year Romijn’s first marriage, to “Full House” star John Stamos, ended.
O’Connell has a role as a vice principal in the Tubi family comedy “Summer’s Last Resort,” out this week. Romijn returns as Mystique in “Avengers: Doomsday” and is finishing her run as Number One in the last season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.”
