Mad Men actor Vincent Kartheiser doesn’t own a toilet. Drug addictions and rampant infidelity aside, this has to be one of the most severe reactions to fame on record. Man Men’s Vincent Kartheiser doesn’t own a toilet because he’s sick and tired of all the shallow gift-giving in Hollywood and wants to rough it for a bit.

Kartheiser told the UK Observer that he’s very happy to live in a wooden box without a toilet or a bed.
“I don’t have a toilet at the moment. My house is just a wooden box. I mean I am planning to get a toilet at some point. But for now I have to go to the neighbours. I threw it all out…It started a couple of years ago,” he says. “It was in response to going to these Golden Globe type events and they just give you stuff. You don’t want it. You don’t use it. And then Mad Men started to become a success on a popular level and people started sending me stuff. One day, I looked around and thought ‘I don’t want this stuff, I didn’t ask for it’. So I started giving it to friends or charity stores, or if it is still in its box I might sell it for a hundred bucks. I liked it so I didn’t stop.”
You know, a minimalist lifestyle when you make a generous salary in Hollywood is quite noble. Really, it is. But using your neighbor’s bathroom? C’mon now — even Angelina Jolie and Mia Farrow wouldn’t go to that level.
