Brad Pitt may be a renowned star today, but his journey to the pinnacle of Hollywood was not without its challenges and humorous moments.

Although he is a celebrated two-time Oscar-winning actor, his early career was marked by smaller independent films, one of which is now remembered for an unforgettable and rather embarrassing incident.

“We were filming in this cramped little café, packed with crew members, totaling about 60 people,” Brad shared during the July 2 episode of Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. “The atmosphere was stifling. You could hardly breathe, and my character was starving, having not eaten for days, before receiving a hefty plate of beans and bacon.”

Emphasizing his commitment to the role, the 61-year-old actor adopted a method acting technique to truly embody his character’s struggles.

“I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to fully immerse in this experience,’” he continued. “I devoured this plate of beans, then went for take two, and again, I repeated the same thing for take three and take four.”

Then, unexpectedly, Brad recounted, “I felt something come over me.”
