Overview

• On July 2 on the New Heights podcast, Pitt said he once method-acted by consuming four full plates of beans and bacon for an early film scene in a crowded café.
• He recounted that after the fourth take, uncontrollable flatulence forced roughly 60 crew members to leave the set in search of fresh air.
• Pitt did not specify which early production staged the beans incident but described the cramped café setting and intense heat on set.
• The mishap prompted him to adopt a self-imposed rule of pacing himself during on-camera meals to avoid repeat disruptions.
• He shared the anecdote as part of his promotional tour for F1, building on his trademark on-screen “grazer” persona that dates to his 2001 role in Ocean’s Eleven.
