Brad Pitt’s Shocking Spit
Imagine being so nervous that you accidentally spit on Brad Pitt! That’s what happened to Damson Idris on the set of his new racing movie!
Things got a little… wet when Idris had to scream in Pitt’s face during an emotional scene.
“I was so nervous. And in the middle of a take, I spit in Brad Pitt’s face,” Idris told the anecdote on The Late Show. Such a memorable first meeting moment, wow!
Brad’s calm reaction
What makes this story even more interesting? Brad didn’t seem bothered at all!
While Idris was panicking inside (“Oh my god, I’m going to lose my job now!”), Pitt just continued with the scene, like a true professional.
Idris just watched in horror as his spit was “just dripping down there” onto the face of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. What an awkward moment!
From theater usher to co-star
Before he shared the screen (and his spit) with Pitt, Idris almost met him.
While working as an usher at London’s Lyceum Theater, he once saw Pitt watching a play.
“I saw blonde hair, blue jeans, and tan boots just walking out the door,” he recalled. “And I said, ‘Wow, one day, I’ll work with him.'”
Little did he know that job would get so up close and personal!
Behind the Racing Drama
In F1, Idris plays rookie driver Joshua Pierce, while Pitt appears as his mentor Sonny Hayes.
The film blends spectacular racing sequences and the behind-the-scenes drama of Formula One.
While critics praise the film’s action, the real action happened between takes, with this unforgettable spitting incident proving that even Hollywood’s coolest moments are filled with everyday embarrassment.
Sometimes dreams do come true, just in unexpected—and wet—ways!
