Brad Pitt Once Cleared Out a Film Set With His 'Diabolical' Fart
Brad Pitt's flatulence once cleared out a film set — and it was nothing short of "diabolical."
While chatting on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce on Wednesday, July 2, the 61-year-old recalled a hilarious, and kind of gross, moment from the early days of his career.
Pitt recalled how he was filming an independent movie in a small café filled with around 60 crew members. Pitt's character, which had "not eaten for days," ordered a large plate of beans. 'I was like, 'I'm gonna' do this right,'' the actor recalled. 'I just power down this plate of beans. Take two, do the same thing. Take three, I do the same thing. I do the same thing. … Something hit me.'
Though he was stuck on set during the scene, the effects of the beans were undeniable. Pitt called the smell 'diabolical," and revealed that "the entire crew fled the café," after he broke wind. "Ever since then, I've paced myself,' Pitt quipped.
The conversation all started to a recurring theme in Pitt's career — his penchant for eating on screen. It all started with his role as Rusty Ryan in Ocean's Eleven, where he constantly snacked as the "consigliere" of the group. Pitt explained, 'He's got to eat on the run. That's where this came from. There was thought behind it.'

'When I first met Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, I was. [startstuck],' he admitted. 'I got over it quickly, though.' The trio appeared in the 1991 film Thelma & Louise together, which also happened to be Pitt's breakout role.
Pitt's new movie, F1: The Movie, is currently playing in theaters.
