Brad Pitt Eating in Movies

If you saw Moneyball this weekend, perhaps you walked out of the theater thinking, Wow, that Brad Pitt really is a charming and handsome movie star. Or maybe instead you thought, Huh, Brad Pitt eats a lot in movies. The man does not stop feeding. (Except to throw a chair across the locker room, and then: more food.) Popcorn, Twinkies, Christmas cookies, a cheeseburger — it all ends up in Brad Pitt’s perfect mouth. When Terry Gross asked him about this exact phenomenon, Pitt ascribed the tic to the intensity of the real life Billy Beane, but Ocean’s Eleven aficionados will remember that Brad is chowing down in almost every scene of that movie, too. In fact, he eats in a lot of his movies. And so to prove the Brad Pitt Eating in Movies Theory, Vulture put together a list of every single item of food that Pitt has ever eaten in a movie, ever. Click through for the definitive and basically nutrition-less list.

Melissa Etheridge taught Brad to fish

Brad Pitt has Melissa Etheridge to thank when it comes to helping land one of his early big screen roles.

Melissa stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday, where the rocker revealed that she helped school the leading man in the fine art of fly-fishing back in the early ‘90s.

“I love to fish, I grew up in the Midwest and loved to fish, totally a huge fishing and fly-fishing [fan],” Melissa said during the show’s “Three Things You Don’t Know About…” segment.

“I taught Brad Pitt how to fly-fish in my swimming pool,” she continued. “Back when he had to audition. He was up for the part in ‘A River Runs Through It.’ So, he had to learn how to fly-fish. So there we are in Hollywood, in my pool and I’m teaching him how to do it.”

“How’d he do?” Kit asked.

“Well, he got the part. He did great,” Melissa said with a smile.

The former fly-fishing pals have lost touch in recent years, but it appears Brad still holds a special place in Melissa’s heart.

“He’s a wonderful guy,” she said of the leading man. “I haven’t seen him in years. Love you Brad, wherever you are.”
