Brad shared that in the movie, his character was eating a large plate of beans after not having food for several days. He shared that he wanted to be seen as a serious actor and during each take, he did exactly that and finished the entire plate of beans in front of him.
“We’re shooting in this little tiny cafe. It’s full of the crew, so there’s about 60 people in there. It’s hot. You can’t breathe,” Brad recalled on the podcast. “My character hadn’t eaten for days, and he gets his big plate of beans, first plate of beans and bacon. And I was all like, Method, you know? I was like, yeah, I’m going to do this right. I just powered down this plate of beans. Take two, do the same thing. Take three, I do the same thing. On four, I do the same thing.”
He went on to say that after the fourth take “something hit [him]” as podcast hosts Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce laughed along with his story.
“I was stuck in this chair and nature took its course,” Brad said on the podcast episode. “Then there was nothing. I went, oh, great. I got away with that one. And then suddenly the entire crew… The most diabolical something… Something descended on the crew in the whole room and they fled the cafe.”
If you missed it, Brad gave some solid advice to young actors – and it wasn’t about not eating on set.
