Why Is Brad Pitt Always Eating In His Movies?

There are a lot of things about Brad Pitt that make him the star he really is. This, of course, includes his brilliant acting abilities and a distinct charm that he carries but there’s another thing that sets him apart from others: he loves to eat.

It’s not entirely false to say that he constantly has something in his mouth. His Rusty character in ‘Ocean’s 11’ is always putting food in his mouth, according to IMDb. This guy is always eating, whether it’s the hamburger he’s devouring when George Clooney’s character Danny gets let out of jail, the ice cream he licks off the spoon, the sucker, the nachos he nibbles on, or the shrimp cocktail.

Brad Pitt: Journey To Stardom

Brad Pitt was born in 1963, and some of his admirers and followers might be shocked to hear that his first name is actually ‘William’. The actor has come a long way over the years. He is renowned for his imposing good looks and captivating on-screen performances. In 1987, he made his acting debut in the soap opera ‘Another World‘. But over time, he managed to score a ton of important parts and characters. ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, ‘Moneyball’, and ‘Fight Club’ are just a handful of the renowned movies Pitt has been cast in with success.

The actor frequently makes headlines for his relationships in addition to his job. The love triangle featuring Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston was widely followed for many years. Although his skills and talents are undeniable, his admirers and followers have been talking about him for a different, more bizarre reason.

What’s The Reason Behind Brad Pitt’s Constant Chewing In Movies?

The Oscar-winning actor can be seen eating in a variety of films, not just ‘Ocean’s 11’ movies. In ‘The Assassination of Jessie James,’ Pitt stuffs beef stew into his mouth. In the movie ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’, he shoves pot roast down his pie hole. In ‘Money Ball’, he adores French fries and so on. It’s become so popular that Next Movie combined all of the actor’s eating sequences, and Ranker even compiled a list of Pitt’s top eating scenes from every one of his movies. It includes the potstickers he precariously clutches with chopsticks while taking a mouthful and using a cell phone in ‘Ocean’s 13’ or when he eats the peanut butter off the spoon in ‘Meet Joe Black.’

The psychological and voyeuristic pleasure we experience from watching someone eat has been the subject of extensive research, as well as Pitt’s on-screen eating habits. Perhaps there is something there, but Brad wouldn’t discuss it directly when questioned about it. In an interview with JOE, he said, “I like to busy myself, I’m a grazer by nature”. He continued by saying that the reason he was constantly eating in the ‘Ocean’s 11’ films had actually been given considerable thought, “There was actually a method to that, because [his character] was always on the run, always on the move, I figured he could never sit down and have a proper meal. So, he always had to grab something on the run.” Pitt enjoys eating, so while we may find it entertaining, the truth is that he enjoys food just as the rest of us do. Pitt simply excels at it more than others.
