Clearly, Brad Pitt is self-conscious of his own looks and even his butt. The actor was embarrassed about a pimple on his butt while filming his 'Thelma & Louise' sex scene. His embarrassment even forced him to demand a make-up artist touch it up between takes, his co-star has revealed.
Geena Davis, 66, made the uncanny claim about her co-star from the 1991 film in her new autobiography 'Dying of Politeness.' She also pointed out how the film’s director Ridley Scott sprayed Brad's abs with Evian water during the shoot.
“Brad, for his part, couldn’t have cared less about all the fuss over his looks," Geena said in an excerpt from her memoir. "He was embarrassed about a tiny little pimple on his butt that the make-up gal re-covered after each take,” The Sun reported.
Furthermore, Davis even recalled how she agreed to reveal more skin than she wanted in the intense scene. “I was uncomfortable with the projected extent of skin I was being asked to show, so Ridley Scott found himself interviewing a slew of body doubles who were more used to flashing the flesh than I was," she wrote.
The 66-year-old actress continued, “A line of them snaked through the lot where we were filming, right past my trailer door, and I couldn’t stand it any longer – I’d worked as a model, after all – so I told Ridley I’d do it. I needn’t have worried. Ridley seemed much more concerned about how Brad looked than I did in that scene, making sure the lighting was just so, and even personally spraying Brad’s abs with Evian.”
Not long ago, Brad had said that he was ‘grateful’ for the chance given by Scott and Geena to star in ‘Thelma & Louise', which featured him playing the role of a conman who robs Geena’s character Thelma and forcing her and Louise, played by Susan Sarandon, 76, to embark on a doomed journey of theft and disaster that ends with them driving off a cliff, reported Meaww.
The Hollywood actor also shared that he was picked for the part at his final audition among five other candidates, including George Clooney. Brad recalled how Geena picked him after exclaiming, “The blond one… hello!”
