5. Viggo Mortensen
This example is a little bit different, as Mortensen got down and dirty for a particular role, but nonetheless his odor definitely offended his companions in Middle Earth.

Well, during filming, he wouldn’t return to a hotel after a long day of work – he would traipse out to the woods and sleep there.
