Brad Pitt is not above indulging in some frat boy humor, and I'm sure nobody on the set of Babel minded. To lift the mood on the sweltering set, Pitt told writer Christine Spines in Entertainment Weekly that he'd give himself wedgies and run around to relieve “frenetic anxiety” during filming:
“I thought it was going to push me over the edge.” Suddenly, the 42-year-old actor leaps to his feet to demonstrate that crucial survival tool. With a hint of dramatic flourish, he grabs hold of his belt loops and yanks his jeans up to his armpits, giving himself a deep-impact wedgie of what must have been the most painful sort. “Throughout the movie, I'd walk around like this,” Pitt says, thrusting out his backside and waddling around like a duck. It must be said that watching Pitt transform himself into an Urkel-like superdork is a sight so perplexing, it could divert a person from just about anything. “You've gotta find things to make you laugh during the shoot. Cate [Blanchett] called it the Hungry Bum.” He pauses and chuckles to himself. “When your bum's so hungry it's trying to eat your pants.”
That would certainly lift the mood. Important and completely gratuitous photo illustration follows after the jump…
