Why is Brad Pitt always eating in movies? The actor has an interesting explanation

Brad Pitt is one of the most famous actors in the world — but one little detail that has often caught the eye of fans is that he is almost always eating something on screen.

From a rooster's leg in "Troy" to macaroni and cheese and a Bloody Mary in "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," food is often a part of his roles.

This phenomenon is no coincidence. In fact, in more than 60 films, Pitt has been filmed consuming food. One of the most famous examples is “Ocean's 11,” where he appears to be eating throughout the film.

During a promotional interview for “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” Margot Robbie asked him directly about this habit. “I’ve noticed that he eats a lot in movies,” she told him, while Pitt replied, “I like to eat something every now and then. I like to be busy with something.” Robbie added that she also likes to have an extra action during filming.

But for Pitt, it's not just a personal habit. In the case of "Ocean's 11," the decision also had character logic. He explained that his character was always on the go, didn't have time for a full meal, so he had to grab something to eat on the go. A simple detail, but one that helps create character.

This action has become a kind of "signature" for the actor. Fans have noticed that he also eats in films such as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "True Romance", "Legends of the Fall" and "Cool World". Their comments are numerous: "He always eats something!", "It's just his signature", or "Eating on stage gives you something to do".

So the next time you see Brad Pitt with something in his hand in a movie, don't be surprised. It's part of his unique style and maybe... a way to feel more comfortable in the role he's playing. /Telegraph/
