Rub-a-dub-dub, Jessica Biel’s in the tub — and her strange bath time habit had Whoopi Goldberg raising an eyebrow.

The longtime actor dropped by “The View” to discuss an array of topics — including one not-so-common act she does in the name of efficiency: eating while bathing.

Being a mom is often described as a beautiful gift — but one that comes with a side of chaos, particularly when you’re juggling schedules, caretaking, and, in Biel’s case, breakfast.

During the panel discussion, host Alyssa Farah Griffin brought up a viral moment from Biel’s past, asking, “Are you still doing it?”

Co-host Joy Behar interjected with: “What exactly do you eat?”

Biel explained that the habit was born out of a multitasking necessity — and a little social media pressure.

“My social team said, ’Listen, you got to send us some content,’” she revealed, after stating that it would not be an easy task since she’s “keeping people alive.”

She admitted her day-to-day life is “boring,” one of which viewers may not be particularly intrigued with. That is, until she found herself towel-clad and hungry, enjoying a bite in the shower — and decided to hit record. The result? Viral fame.

Biel described “a little ledge” in her shower that makes casual eating there doable. But she confessed to having “boundaries,” and not eating sandwiches or steaks during her bath time rituals. Still, she revealed she really enjoyed her morning cup of joe in the shower.

Co-host Sunny Hostin offered support, telling Biel the practice “makes sense.” Goldberg, on the other hand, didn’t hide her skepticism.

“I know, Whoopi, I’m sorry,” Biel said, laughing. “Now you don’t want to be friends with me anymore.”

But Goldberg clarified it wasn’t judgment but confusion, as she tried to wrap her head around “a lot of multitasking.”

“Because not only do you have to get away from the water, you have to get the food in your mouth, and then you got to get a towel because some little kid is about to come in,” she explained.

Biel responded saying, “She’s just going what she’s got to do to get out on time,” which prompted Goldberg to say, “I understand.”
