Brad Pitt has been in numerous sex scenes throughout his career, but the Hollywood heartthrob has now revealed specifics of the first time he had to strip naked on screen for Dallas.
Brad joined the cast of Dallas in 1987, playing Randy, the boyfriend of Shalane McCall’s character Charlie Wade, who was Jenna’s daughter (Priscilla Presley).
He may have only featured on four episodes, but he remembers his time on the show fondly because it was where he had his first public affair.
Appearing on the cover of W magazine’s Best Performances issue, Brad has spoken about that notable moment of passion from nearly 40 years ago.
‘It would have been in the show Dallas,’ he told the publication when asked about what his first ever sex scene was.
‘I had to roll around in the hay in a barn. I don’t think I had a line. I was just rolling and frolicking.’
He did, however, get a chance to say a little more when he stripped naked in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise, in which he had a memorable sex scene as J.D beside Geena Davis’ Thelma.
‘Yeah, that was my entry into the big leagues, I guess,’ he added in the interview.
‘Geena was so sweet and kind and delicate.
‘That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me.’
In the years after, Brad has had many more on-screen encounters like these, and notably later went on to have a relationship with Angelina Jolie after meeting on the set of spy film Mr And Mrs Smith in 2005, which had lots of steamy scenes.
Whilst they navigated plenty of sex scenes together on screen, Angelina, 47, once said filming them together felt ‘absurd’.
‘Love scenes are strange anyway, but when you’re doing a love scene with a person that you really have sex with? The only way to get through it was for us to all talk about the absurdity of it and make sure no-one was feeling awkward,’ she said while being interviewed by ET to promote their 2015 film By the Sea.
Dallas is streaming on Apple TV.
