There was a time when Brad had some stinky Pitts, despite his clean-cut image nowadays.
The actor, 60, used to go days without showering before he was famous, according to his former roommate Jason Priestley.
Jason, 54, dished on what it was like living with Brad during an interview on Live with Kelly and Mark on Tuesday.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos of living with the now-superstar: ‘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 LA.’
Jason insisted Brad was an ‘okay’ roommate, despite having a stinky habit.

He said: ‘Brad wasn’t as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster, but Brad was okay.
‘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?”‘
As Kelly questioned Jason more about the filthy game, asking who would go the longest without showering, he admitted: ‘Brad, always Brad. I don’t think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering.’
This certainly isn’t the first time the showering debate has been discussed in the world of showbiz.
Back in 2021, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis hit headlines after saying they only washed their kids – daughter Wyatt, now nine, and son Dimitri, seven – when they were dirty.
The pair have since poked fun at the controversy surrounding their remarks by sharing a video of themselves washing their kids, joking about how ‘ridiculous’ it was to be ‘trying to melt them’ with water.

Ashton previously said on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast: ‘Now, here’s the thing: If you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point.’
The same principle applies to his own hygiene habits as he only cleans his armpits and crotch.
He explained: ‘I wash my armpits and my crotch daily, and nothing else ever. I got a bar of Lever 2000 that delivers every time. Nothing else.’
Amid the online frenzy at the time, Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard – who share daughters Lincoln, 10, and Delta, nine – agreed with Mila and Ashton.
In a joint appearance on The View, Dax previously said: ‘We bathed our children every single night prior to bed as their routine, then somehow, they just started going to sleep on their own without their routine and we had to start saying [to each other] like, “Hey, when was the last time you bathed them?”‘
Kristen added: ‘I’m a big fan of waiting for the stink. Once you catch a whiff, that’s biology’s way of letting you know you need to clean it up.’
She continued: ‘There’s a red flag. Honestly, it’s just bacteria; once you get bacteria you gotta be like, ‘Get in the tub or the shower.’ So, I don’t hate what [Mila and Ashton] are doing. I wait for the stink.’
