For people who may have wondered what it's like to live with a big movie star, Jason Priestley has given a first-hand account of when he once lived with Brad Pitt years ago. Yesterday, Priestley sat down with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos for an interview in which he gave some insight into the experience.
Consuelos reiterated that Priestley moved to Los Angeles when he was still trying to make it as a star and had roommates with whom he lived. Priestley then confirmed that one of these people was none other than Pitt.

Of the two cohabitating, albeit briefly, the 54-year-old revealed: "There were three of us living in a two-bedroom apartment in a crappy part of LA." He then delved into how they got along and compared the two roommates he had.
Regarding how Pitt fared as a roommate, Priestley divulged: "Brad wasn't as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster. But Brad was ok. But we used to play this game...to see who could go the longest without showering, which...I mean, I think about it now, and I'm like, 'Dude, how disgusting.'"

When Ripa asked who the person was that went the longest without taking a shower, Priestley said it was Pitt. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star said: "I don't think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering."

Priestley isn't the only celebrity with something to say about Pitt's hygiene. Two years ago, comedic actress Chloe Fineman briefly mentioned loaning Pitt one of her wigs for an "SNL" project and disclosed: "I immediately smelled it...He smells great."

Years before Priestley and Fineman's comments, Pitt spoke about his odor, specifically related to the physical intensity of filming action movies. While discussing his then-new movie "World War Z," Pitt said: "You don't always smell so nice with a thousand extras — me included, by the way."

Brad Pitt said that while the smell was somewhat unpleasant, the project was still fun to film. Despite a few times when his odor might not have been the most appealing, Pitt, as confirmed in recent years by Fineman, smells immaculate.
