Brad Pitt was once so worried about a spot on his bum he got make-up team to cover it up, new book reveals
ACTOR Brad Pitt was once so worried about a spot on his bum in a sex scene that he got the make-up team to buff his cheeks.
Geena Davis, 66, the hunk’s co-star in 1991’s Thelma & Louise, said he was happy to get his kit off as long as the zit was covered up.
The Oscar-winning actor, now 58, was just 26 when he played a fresh-faced love interest.
She says in her memoir: “Brad, for his part, couldn’t have cared less about all the fuss over his looks.
“He was just embarrassed about a tiny little pimple on his butt that the make-up gal re-covered after each take.”
She also says in the book, called Dying of Politeness, that the film’s British director Ridley Scott, now 84, wanted the perfect scene.

Geena penned: “I was uncomfortable with the projected extent of skin I was being asked to show, so Ridley Scott found himself interviewing a slew of body doubles who were more used to flashing the flesh than I was.
“A line of them snaked through the lot where we were filming, right past my trailer door, and I couldn’t stand it any longer — I’d worked as a model, after all — so I told Ridley I’d do it.
“I needn’t have worried. Ridley seemed much more concerned about how Brad looked than I did in that scene, making sure the lighting was just so, and even personally spraying Brad’s abs with Evian.
Brad, now 58, later vowed to quit getting his kit off so that his six kids with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 47, would not be embarrassed.
