Have you ever thought about what your favorite celebrities were like before they hit the big time?
Just imagine Pedro Pascal munching on toast in his humble kitchen, Margot Robbie blending in at a hair salon without anyone batting an eye, and the revelation that Brad Pitt used to neglect his shower routine.
According to Jason Priestley, famous for his role on Beverly Hills, 90210, he and Pitt shared a two-bedroom apartment in the less-than-desirable area of Los Angeles while striving for their big breaks.
In those early days of their careers, it appears that personal hygiene was not a top priority for the aspiring actors.
Recalling those times on Live!
With Kelly and Mark with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Priestley disclosed, “We had this competition to see who could endure the longest without taking a shower.
Looking back now, I can’t help but cringe and wonder, ‘What were we thinking?'”
One can’t help but wonder if a little soap and water might have propelled their acting endeavors forward more swiftly.
When questioned about the winner of their unorthodox contest, Priestley admitted, “Brad.
It was always Brad.”
One can’t help but tease Priestley and wonder if his victory would be the same today.
Although Pitt’s personal grooming habits have likely evolved over the years, Priestley reminisced, “I doubt he engages in such practices now, but back then, he could go extended periods without bathing.”
Let’s hope that the now 60-year-old actor has since refined his cleanliness regimen!
Following their rise to fame, the roommates drifted apart, losing contact over time.
Perhaps a reunion is on the cards, complete with a revival of their shower-avoidance challenge for old times’ sake.
