Former Beverly Hills 90210 actor Jason Priestly admitted to playing a "disgusting" game with Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt when they were roommates before becoming major celebs.

On Tuesday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Priestly dished on the dirty secret, explaining that he and Pitt once used to live in a “two-bedroom apartment in a really crappy part of LA.”


While Priestly said he and the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star were compatible roomies and that "[Pitt] was okay," he did reveal they participated in a weird flex that Priestly now looks back on in disgust.

The 54-year-old confessed:

“We used to play this game to see who could go the longest without showering."
"I think about it now and I’m like, ‘Dude, how disgusting, what were you thinking?’”

Fans, too, wondered what they were thinking.

Curious to hear more about their unhygienic hijinks, Kelly Ripa asked, “Who went the longest?"

Priestly replied without hesitation:

"Brad. Always Brad.”

One could only imagine the olfactory assault of Brad's pits upon entering the apartment during that tomfoolery.

He continued, saying of his buddy:

“I don’t think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering.”

Ripa accentuated the positive and commented:

"Well, you did your part for water conservation."

Social media users, however, couldn't get past the unclean shenanigan.





According to the Hollywood Reporter, Pitt was crashing with Priestly's roommate in their North Hollywood flat in the 80s when they first met. Priestly said he came home from a shoot one day and saw a “tall skinny guy” sleeping in his bed.

Pitt eventually moved in and they became buddies.

Priestly recalled:

“We lived on ramen noodles and generic beer—the kind that came in white cans labeled BEER—and Marlboro Light cigarettes."

He said of their days as struggling actors trying to make it big in Hollywood:

“We were all broke.”

It wasn't long before Priestly became a major teen idol by playing the "sanctimonious Brandon Walsh" in the globally popular TV series Beverly Hills 90210 in 1990, for which he was nominated for two Golden Globes and went on to executive produce until the show ended in 2000.

Pitt rose to stardom with his supporting role as a small-time criminal who befriends Geena Davis' character Thelma in Ridley Scott's 1991 road film Thelma & Louise. His breakthrough performances came with Interview with the Vampire and Legends of the Fall in 1994, followed by 1995's Seven.

The rest is history.
