Before Jason Priestley lived in Beverly Hills, 90210, he lived in a bad part of Los Angeles with Brad Pitt. That’s right. Back when the actors were unknowns, they were roommates.
What was it like when they lived in a two-bedroom apartment with another guy? Priestly told Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, on Live with Kelly and Mark, that they used to have contests who could go the longest without showering. Who was the winner? Pitt!
Now we know why it took the Pitt so long to make it. His auditions literally stank.
Before Brad Pitt was all about playing casino games in the Ocean’s movie, he was into learning basketball on Another World. He hasn’t aged a day since he was 23 in that 1987 episode.
As we know, Brad Pitt starred in Thelma & Louise with Geena Davis. Today, when the Oscar winner was on The Graham Norton Show, she revealed that the actor was up for the role against three other leading men.
However, Pitt stood out to her because he was so charismatic and talented. So much so that the actress kept forgetting her lines. So, when he left, she told casting that he was her favorite of the four that auditioned.
Who were the other three? They were Mark Ruffalo, Grant Show, and an actor she forgot about it until they sat next to each other on the plane years later. George Clooney was so forgettable during that audition that he had to remind her he was the fourth person.
So whenever someone says, but they are no George Clooney, they should be saying he is no Brad Pitt. Well, to everyone but Angelina Jolie. Too soon?
When you think of Brad Pitt, what do you think he would do in his spare time? I would think he would work on cars or work out. But he does something else.
The actor told Good Morning America’s Chris Connelly that he is into pottery and ceramics. What does he make? He makes candle holders and stuff like that.
Now, I am picturing him taking a bath surrounded by candles in the candle holders he made. Oh, and he needed the bath because we just recreated that scene from Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, and we made a mess.
Sean Penn asked some of his new friends to do a virtual table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High to raise money for his charity. Core does a lot of amazing work like providing COVID-19 testing sites in hard-hit areas.
I say new friends because he didn’t ask any of his co-stars from the original movie to do it. Instead, he had Julia Roberts read Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Stacy, Jennifer Aniston was Phoebe Cate’s Linda, and a stoned Shia LaBeouf filled in for Penn.
Who played Brad? Brad Pitt, of course. Shortly before the table read went live, Judge Reinhold, who originally held his part, I mean the part, asked his fans to watch. When it came to him talking about Pitt filling his huge pirate hat, he said, “I think Brad Pitt, is playing me, which would only make sense, cause the resemblance is uncanny.” Yes, it is.
Is it just me, or does Reinhold look better now than he did in the 1982 film that never gets old?
