Let’s be honest…Brad Pitt and the shirtless scenes are a match made in Hollywood heaven. From Fight Club to Troy, the dude has turned taking off his shirt into an art form. But here’s the thing: one of his most legendary shirtless moments was almost ruined by none other than Quentin Tarantino.

We talk about this unforgettable scene in Once upon a time in Hollywoodwhere Brad’s Cliff Booth climbs onto Rick Dalton’s roof and takes off his Champion t-shirt like it’s just another hot day in LA. The point is, Tarantino had his ideas about how this moment should play out – and he almost blew it.

In a recent episode of Amy Schumer’s 3 Girls, 1 Keith podcast, Tarantino explained how he tried to micromanage that shirtless magic. “I say, ‘So, I think maybe you unbutton the Hawaiian shirt, and you take it off, and then you take off the Champion T-shirt,'” Tarantino said. Seriously, dude? Brad wasn’t having it.

Pitt, usually pretty quiet and shy about this sort of thing, responded with the confidence we all wish we had: “Really? You want me to talk about all this pimple bullshit? I’ll take it off in a moment. And just like that, Brad took control, and Tarantino quickly realized he was dealing with a master.

“I’m like, okay, this guy knows exactly what time it is. Shut up and let the master do his job! » Tarantino admitted. And he was right: Pitt knew how to pull off this scene like no one else could. This is effortless, calm and pure Brad Pitt.

Fast forward, and that shirtless moment has become one of the most talked about parts of the film. Heck, it even won Brad an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But it wasn’t just about pulling off a T-shirt, it was about owning that macho vibe that Cliff Booth and Pitt nailed every time.

Tarantino couldn’t help but praise Pitt for his overall toughness in the film, especially when he donned leather gloves or chewed wire like a true pro. “He just knows what time it is,” Tarantino said. And yes, he does.

So the next time you watch this scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, remember: it could have been a lot less iconic. Tarantino almost got in the way of Brad Pitt’s shirtless wizardry, but in the end, Pitt showed precisely why he’s the king of cool – no buttons, no fuss – just pure, effortless Brad Pitt swagger.
