Brad Pitt's On-Set Farting Fiasco: How He Shut Down Filming!

Brad Pitt has confessed that he once caused production on one of his movies to shut down because he couldn't stop farting

BRAD PITT SPILLS THE TEA: A-LIST STAR REVEALS SHOCKING TOOT-GATE INCIDENT ON SET

In a jaw-dropping revelation, Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt has confessed that he once caused a production shutdown on one of his movies due to an unfortunate and uncontrollable gaseous emission. The 61-year-old actor, who's known for his chiseled good looks and charming on-screen presence, revealed the embarrassing incident during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with brothers Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce.

According to Pitt, the incident occurred while he was filming a scene in a small café, surrounded by a crew of 60 people. In preparation for the scene, Pitt had devoured a massive plate of beans and bacon, as his character hadn't eaten in days. Being the dedicated method actor that he is, Pitt opted to eat the food laid out before him, even though it might have been a recipe for disaster.

For a scene, the Hollywood actor had to quickly eat a huge plate of beans and bacon because his character hadn't eaten for several days

"I just powered down this plate of beans," Pitt chuckled, recalling the incident. "Take two, do the same thing. Take three, I do the same thing. Take four... something hit me. There was nothing I could do. I was stuck in that chair, and nature took its course."

Pitt revealed that he initially thought he might have gotten away with it, but seconds later, the entire crew "fled the café" as if they were being chased by a pack of wild animals. The A-list star laughed about the incident, admitting that it was a humbling experience.

"Ever since then, I pace myself," Pitt quipped, adding that he's learned to be more mindful of his dietary choices on set.

While Pitt didn't specify which movie was affected by this...ahem...'creative' contribution, fans might recall that he played the role of J.D. in Tom DiCillo's 1991 film Johnny Suede, where he did indeed eat baked beans. It's safe to say that his character's diet choices may have been inspired by real life.

But Pitt wasn't done spilling the tea just yet. In a separate conversation on the podcast, he revealed some surprising facts about his personal life and career. When asked about his experiences working with iconic actresses Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, Pitt confessed that only two women had ever left him starstruck – both of whom were Thelma & Louise costars.

"I was, yeah," Pitt admitted, when asked if he felt intimidated by the dynamic duo. "But I got over it quickly."

Pitt's comments about his past relationships with Davis and Sarandon have sparked some interesting observations. The actor has previously praised Davis for being "so sweet and kind and delicate" during their on-screen sex scene in Thelma & Louise. Meanwhile, Sarandon has spoken highly of Pitt, noting that he impressed her with his sense of humor and good looks.

But what's truly fascinating is how Pitt has managed to balance his personal life and career over the years. As a devoted father of six, Pitt has had to navigate the demands of Hollywood while maintaining a strong family bond. His comments about sports teams – particularly Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs – have sparked some friendly banter between the two.

Travis Kelce, 35, took to social media to apologize for his team's Super Bowl loss, joking that Pitt "let [him] down." Pitt replied with a witty remark, saying that hardships are what make sports movies so special. The actor explained that it's how we deal with life's struggles and setbacks that truly defines us.

"It's what makes sports movies so special," Pitt said. "That's what I mean about life. Life throws struggles your way. Sometimes everything goes quiet, it's perfection, it's sublime. Other periods, life throws these struggles at you, and it's how you deal with those and how you come back from those."

As the conversation came to a close, Pitt's candidness left listeners in stitches – and perhaps even more intrigued by the inner workings of Hollywood's most beloved stars. Who knew that behind Brad Pitt's charming smile and chiseled good looks lay a secret talent for comedy?
