AceShowbiz - Brad Pitt had a "disgusting" hygiene habit, according to Jason Priestley. When making an appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark", the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star made the shocking revelation as he recounted a story when he lived with the "Bullet Train" actor.
In the Tuesday, January 16 episode of the TV program, co-host Mark Consuelos brought up the topic about Jason living in one apartment with the 60-year-old actor. Mark said, "Jason, when you first moved to L.A., I did not know this, you live with roommates um who are also trying to make in the business. Brad Pitt?"
Jason stated, "Yes, yes he was one of my roommates for a brief period of time. There were three of us living in a two bedroom apartment in a really crappy part of L.A." Mark's wife and co-host Kelly Ripa then asked, "What's he like as a roommate?" In response, Jason explained, "Brad wasn't as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster, but Brad was okay."
The actor went on to reveal, "We used to play this game, all of us, to see who could go the longest without showering," prompting the audience members to get shocked. He continued, "I think about it now, I'm like, 'Dude, how disgusting! What were you thinking?' "
Curious, Kelly questioned, "Who went the longest without [showering]?" With no apparent hesitation, Jason answered, "Brad, always Brad," leading the audience to burst into laughter. He added, "I don't think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering."
Before giving an insight into a period of time when he lived with Brad, Jason talked about their friendship. Back in May 2017, he spoke to HuffPost, "Our careers went in such different directions that we sort of lost touch with each other. Brad went off and was making movies all over the world, and I was sort of stuck in one place making a TV show, and it was back in the days before computers. It kind of tore apart our whole group of friends that we had."
He added, "The fact that the two of us went off and got strangely famous, we had a pretty good group of friends and all of a sudden we all sort of dissipated, and it was sad. We were all struggling and all sort of messing around in Hollywood. Those were really fun days, and I think, ya know, those friendships that we all formed and those times that we all had are times that I look back on fondly."
