Quentin Tarantino was on Howard Stern’s show yesterday to talk about his movie, Inglourious Basterds. He shared entirely too much information about the movie’s star, Brad Pitt. To recap: Pitt admits to being a former pot smoker, but claimed to have given it up once he became a dad. Yeah, he lied — kinda like when he told Wife #1 that he was “just friends” with Angelina Jolie. I totally believe Tarantino’s version of this story even though I’m not a huge QT fan — well, not since his non-speaking part as an Elvis impersonator during Season 4 of The Golden Girls. Here’s a transcript of part of his conversation with Howard which, incidentally, this is a great site if you want to see what transpired on Stern’s show and you don’t have satellite radio:
Howard asked if Angelina had come home while he was visiting with Brad. He said that she was in the hospital at the time having twins. Howard asked if they have help there at their house because Brad and Angelina claim they don’t. Quentin said they do have friends that help them out.
Quentin said he was at Brad and Agelina’s until about 3 in the morning. Howard asked if he ever worried that he was annoying them by staying so late. Quentin said that he had flown all the way to France to visit them so he didn’t think that would come up.
Quentin said that things eventually ended and he went to his hotel. He said that Brad had this big brick of hash and he was going to give him some for the night. He said that Brad whipped out a knife and cut up a big sliver for him and the stuff was pretty good. He said that he asked for a pipe to go with it and Brad handed him a Coke can to use instead. Quentin said that would make for a great scene in a movie and he may have to use that.
Quentin said that he doesn’t get paranoid when he smokes hash. He said that he does with pot though. Howard said he would get paranoid if he smoked that stuff and he’d have to run out of the room if he did. Quentin said that people can bond by doing stuff like that and he really doesn’t get paranoid smoking hash. Howard wondered why that is because he gets paranoid on either one.
So, you know, whatever, Brad Pitt’s a pot head who likes to keep a brick of hash hanging around the house. I always thought he was a stoner when he was with Jen, so this isn’t a huge revelation, but I’m sure Brad is just so appreciative that Tarantino is sharing the deets of how they sparked one up.
More importantly, what will happen when Angie finds out?
