Man-cave alert! Back in the late 80s, before they hit it big on Beverly Hills 90210 and cult movie Thelma and Louise, Canada’s own Jason Priestly and Hollywood heavyweight Brad Pitt were struggling actors living together in an LA crash pad. According to Jason, things smelled a lot like Brad’s pits.
During his appearance yesterday on Live with Kelly and Mark, Jason revealed, “We used to play this game, all of us, to see who could go the longest without showering. I think about it now, I’m like ‘Dude, how disgusting! What were you thinking?’”
Of course, this begs the question, who would win these stank contests? “Brad, always Brad,” Jason said. “I don’t think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering.”
Jason detailed that at this time, they were roommates “for a brief period of time,” and “there were three of us living in a two-bedroom apartment in a really crappy part of L.A.”
“Brad wasn’t as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster, but Brad was okay,” he added.
When host Mark Consuelos asked what these three men kept in their man-cave fridge, Jason said the broskies only kept brewskies. “Beer!” he exclaimed.
In 2014, Jason wrote a memoir where he went into a bit more detail about how the Fight Club became his roommate in his West Hollywood pad. He writes, per The Hollywood Reporter, that he came home one day to find a “tall skinny guy” sleeping in his bed, being a friend of the third roomie, and quickly moved in. We lived on ramen noodles and generic beer — the kind that came in white cans labelled 'BEER' — and Marlboro Light cigarettes,” he wrote. “We were all broke.”
We sincerely hope Brad’s hygiene has changed since then!
