During the filming of the iconic movie Thelma & Louise, Brad Pitt found himself in an embarrassing situation that left him feeling self-conscious.
Co-star Geena Davis revealed that Brad was so ’embarrassed’ about a spot on his b*m that he had to bare for a scene in the film.
In the 1991 hit film, Brad Pitt played the role of JD, one of his early roles in his career.
However, while shooting a s** scene, the actor had to deal with a ‘pimple’ on his b*m, causing discomfort and embarrassment.
Geena Davis, who portrayed Thelma Dickinson alongside Susan Sarandon’s Louise Sawyer, shared details from her new autobiography, Dying of Politeness.
She mentioned how a make-up artist had to cover up the spot on Brad’s buttocks after each take, as Brad himself was more concerned about the pimple than his overall appearance.
Reflecting on her experience during the filming, Geena admitted feeling initially uncomfortable with the amount of skin exposure required.
Director Ridley Scott even considered using body doubles for the scene, but Geena eventually took on the challenge herself after reassurance from Ridley.
In her book, Geena described Ridley’s meticulous attention to detail, particularly in ensuring Brad’s appearance was flawless for the scene.
From adjusting the lighting to personally misting Brad’s abs with Evian water, Ridley went above and beyond to capture the perfect shot.
Thelma & Louise follows the journey of two friends seeking an escape from their mundane lives on a road trip, only to encounter unexpected challenges along the way.
Brad Pitt recently expressed his gratitude for being cast in the film, acknowledging that he had little to showcase except for his dedication to his work.
Looking back on his role as JD, Brad humorously commented on the pitch of his voice and the nerves he felt during filming.
Despite feeling tense and inexperienced, he acknowledged the filmmakers’ decision to take a chance on him and believed they were somewhat desperate at the time.
Representatives for Brad Pitt chose not to provide any comments on the matter.
