Happy Friday, y’all! I know times are tough right now, but I’m here to brighten your day by showing you a ton of shirtless photos of Brad Pitt.
You’re welcome.
If you’re a Brad Pitt fan, then you probably recall every film he has ever taken his shirt off in.
It isn’t something that’s easy to forget.
Fight Club, Troy, Allied, Fury, Snatch and most recently, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Brad’s shirt-removal skills have never been disputed.
If there’s anybody in Hollywood who knows how to take their shirt off in one graceful, fluid motion, unveiling washboard abs, it’s Brad freaking Pitt.
But while filming “Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood”. apparently, Quentin Tarantino had a different vision for how Brad’s shirt should have come off.
On the latest episode of Amy Schumer’s podcast, 3 Girls, 1 Keith , Quentin revealed how that scene went down BTS.
He explained that during the scene where Brad was working on Rick Dalton’s roof, he tried to instruct him on how to take his shirt off, and it didn’t go over well.
Nobody tells Brad how to take his shirt off.
Nobody.
“It was funny because actually in public Brad is kind of shy about things like that,” he said.
“At the same time, he knows exactly what time it is.”
“I go, ‘So, I’m thinking maybe you unbutton the Hawaiian shirt, and you peel that off,'” he recalled.
“‘And then peel off the Champion T-shirt.'”
“He was like, ‘Really? You want me to go through all that button [expletive]?,'” he went on.
“‘I’ll just take it off in one bit. Go !’”
And just like that, the ultimate Brad Pitt thirst trap was born.
It’s a good thing Quentin didn’t stick to his guns, otherwise we may have never gotten this:
Can we just pause for a moment to take this in?
What a work of art.
“I’m like, okay, this guy knows exactly what time it is,” Quentin said.
“Shut the [expletive] up and let the master do his job!,” he added .
He went on, explaining that Brad simply has a way of doing things.
“Even when you see him in the work shed and the way he puts on the leather gloves and puts the wire in his mouth all butch and macho .”
“He just knows what time it is,” he concluded.
BTW, this comes as no surprise, but Brad went on to win every major supporting actor award for his performance in Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood .
He won a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Academy Award.
He has won an Oscar before for his production work in 12 Years A Slave , but his win for “Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood” marked his first Academy Award for acting !
All that to say, not to diminish his genuine talent that made this film a major milestone for him, his epic rooftop scene made it significantly more remarkable for the rest of us.
And at least now, it’s official. He is the master of taking his shirt off.
