Brad Pitt reveals the strangest job he ever had in this week's issue of Newsweek that features a roundtable discussion with several Oscar nominees including Pitt, Helen Mirren, and Forest Whitaker. It turns out Brad paid the bills when we first moved to Los Angeles as a personal chauffeur for strippers.
“I had a job driving strippers around,” he says. “Yeah, my job was to drive them to bachelor parties and things. I'd pick them up, and at the gig I'd collect the money, play the bad Prince tapes and catch the girls' clothes. It was not a wholesome atmosphere, and it got very depressing.”
However, the job ended up being a turning point in his career.
"After two months I went in to quit, and the guy said, 'Listen, I've got this one last gig tonight.' So I did it, and this girl—I'd never met her before—was in an acting class taught by a man named Roy London [a famous acting coach]. I went and checked it out, and it really set me on the path to where I am now.”
He added: “Strippers changed my life.”
