Quentin Tarantino isn't playing dumb when it comes to the sex appeal of a certain iconic shirtless Brad Pitt scene. Everyone remembers where they were when they first saw the clip of Brad Pitt stripping off his shirt in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The iconic scene was included in the movie's trailer, giving audiences months to prep their diaphragms in preparation for all the hotness they'd see in theaters.
Turns out Tarantino is well aware of the thirst he created around the globe when he directed Brad Pitt stripping off his shirt on the roof. Tarantino chatted up Amy Schumer on her podcast when he said of Brad Pitt's shirtless scene in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood:
Wow, this is actually the closest to homoerotica I’ve ever filmed. Alright? This is a, this is very Joe Gage. Alright? Very 1970′s uh, uh, a handyman guy in the roof.
For those who don't know Joe Gage is a famously smut-tastic director in the 80's. Tarantino then explains that it was actually Pitt himself who ultimately decided just how he was going to take off his shirt:
You know, so it’s like uh, um, I go, ‘Okay, so I’m thinking maybe like, you know, okay, you unbutton, you unbutton the Hawaiian shirt, and peel that off.' And then peel off the champion t-shirt. And he’s like, ‘Really? Want me to through all that button bullshit? I just, I just take it off in one big go.’
Legends. Supporting. Legends. The fifty-six-year-old Brad Pitt literally refuses to age, and his body looks truly unbelievable in this scene. Call it movie magic. Call it homoerotica. Call it gay porn. We don't care what it's called, we're just glad it rang.
