Wilson — who owns three pooches — made the awkward admission while responding to the question: “What’s the worst thing you’ve put in your mouth?”

“It’s probably dog s – t,” the star declared. “I’m sure, in my quest to pick up dog crap, that I have licked the bag to open the bag, and then it’s on my hand and I have dog s – t in there, too.”

And, when asked about his least favourite smell, the Little Children star also brought up his beloved canines.

“You’re talking to a guy that spends a good portion of the week cleaning up dog s – t in his yard,” he quipped. “But I’m sort of immune to that now.”

Wilson also revealed in his interview with Empire that he has a three-inch scar on his hand from when one of his dogs bit him.

The Hollywood hunk frequently shares snaps of his rescue pooches — Mabel, Louise and Eddie Van — on his popular Instagram page.

Wilson has been married to Polish-American actress, Dagmara Domińczyk, 45, since 2005, and the couple share two sons, Kassian and Kailin.

In December 2020, Wilson revealed his kids chose the name Eddie Van as a tribute to the late rocker Van Halen.

“Merry Christmas from all of us Wilsons … including this new guy, Mr. Eddie Van Wilson. Named by my kids … but I didn’t object.” the actor wrote beneath an adorable Instagram snap.
