Tarantino reveals Brad Pitt improvised his shirtless scene in 'Once Upon...'

Explore Business Standard

Quentin Tarantino says he almost messed up Brad Pitt's famous shirtless scene in "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood".
In one of the most memorable scenes of the film, Pitt's Cliff Booth climbs to the roof of Rick Dalton to fix an antenna. Booth removes his shirt since it is a warm Los Angeles afternoon.
Tarantino, during the latest episode of Amy Schumer's "3 Girls, 1 Keith" podcast, recalled how he tried to tell Pitt how he should take off his shirt.
"It was funny because actually in public Brad is kind of shy about things like that. At the same time, he knows exactly what time it is. I go, 'So, I'm thinking maybe you unbutton the Hawaiian shirt, and you peel that off, and then peel off the Champion T-shirt.' He was like, 'Really? You want me to go through all that button bullshit? I'll just take it off in one bit. Go!'"
