As the interview played out further, the interviewer asked the same question to Brad Pitt as well, and the actor thought of several instances when he was trying to make it into acting. Brad Pitt mentioned that prior to acting, he worked as a bartender and got into acting much later. The actor mentioned that in two years, he had gotten his first screen time and one could see him in the scene from a distance having a mullet hairstyle which Brad was very proud of at the time. The actor later went on to mention the time he appeared in a Charlie Sheen film as a waiter. Brad reveals that back in the day, extras weren’t supposed to say lines if they were not instructed to. However, Brad felt the need to make his screen presence felt and therefore while filming, delivered a line. The entire cast of the film stared at Brad Pitt and eventually, the director yelled cut. Brad Pitt revealed that the makers gave him a stern warning and threatened to kick him out of the project if he repeated this behaviour again.
