Alright, let’s dive back into the wonderfully human world of Brad Pitt, where even A-listers aren’t immune to the occasional… digestive symphony. Turns out, our charming Mr. Pitt has a tale that proves even on a glamorous movie set, sometimes nature calls (and sometimes, it brings an unexpected encore).
In a recent chat on Travis and Jason Kelce‘s New Heights podcast, Brad himself recounted a hilarious “beans” story from his early days in film. He recalled being on a small indie movie with about 60 people crammed into a tiny, hot cafe. His character, having not eaten for days, finally gets a plate of beans and bacon. Method acting at its finest, right? As Brad put it, “And, I was all like, method. You know, I’m gonna do this right. And I just power down this plate of beans.”
He bravely powered through four takes of this bean-binging scene. Then, as he eloquently stated, “Something hit me. There was nothing I could do. I was stuck in this chair, and nature took its course.” Classic! Brad initially thought he’d gotten away with it, noting, “I went, ‘Oh, great. I got away with it. I got away with that one.'”
But alas, the olfactory gods had other plans. As Brad laughingly remembered, “And then, suddenly, the entire crew, the most diabolical something-something descended on the crew in the whole room and they fled the cafe. Fled!” He concluded the tale with a wise lesson learned: “So ever since then, I pace myself.” It seems even Hollywood legends have their “oops, did I do that?” moments, especially when beans are involved.
The NFL brothers on the mic lost it—and Jason Kelce couldn’t resist applauding, “You should be proud… clearing a room that’s a feat.” Pitt admitted that pacing has become a serious onscreen necessity ever since.
All this over a plate of humble beans! Honestly, between this and his legendary ice‑cream‑sundae snacking in Ocean’s Eleven, Pitt may just be Hollywood’s biggest—and perhaps most aromatic—gastro‑talent .
