Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes in 'F1: The Movie'
From burgers to Twinkies, Brad Pitt has eaten a lot of food onscreen. But it was a plate of beans that gave the F1: The Movie actor stomach troubles.
Making a pit stop from F1 promo, Pitt swung by the New Heights podcast to talk with hosts Jason and Travis Kelce about his new film and other highlights in his career. During the conversation, the Kelce brothers asked the actor about the best food he has eaten for a scene.
While Pitt laughed at his reputation for eating in his movies, he shared that his favorite dish on set was an ice cream sundae. He also revealed a more unsavory experience that he had while eating for a scene.
During one of his first films, Pitt said he was shooting in a cramped cafe with 60 people on set. He had to scarf down a big plate of beans and bacon for the scene because his character hadn't eaten for days. He decided to go "method" by pounding all of the food.
"I just powered down this plate of beans," he said. "Take two, do the same thing. Take three, I do the same thing. Take four, I do the same thing. Something hit me. There was nothing I could do. I was stuck in this chair, nature took its course."
Pitt thought he got away with passing gas on set, but soon, the entire crew "fled the cafe."

He added, "Ever since then, I pace myself."
Pitt didn't specify which movie set this incident took place on, although he did eat baked beans in 1991's Johnny Suede.
