Brad Pitt knows how to make the most out of an uncomfortable situation.

On the most recent episode of the Wtf with Marc Maron podcast, the actor, 56, and Leonardo DiCaprio sat down to talk about their storied Hollywood careers with host Marc Maron. For Pitt, one memory involved the Venice Film Festival world premiere of 1999’s Fight Club, his eventual cult classic that received mixed reactions upon its release.

“For some reason we thought it would be a good idea to smoke a joint before,” Pitt said, referring to his 35-year-old self and costar Edward Norton.

The making of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s 2015 survival drama “The Revenant” was an infamous nightmare, but it could have been even more challenging had the filmmaker gone through with his original plan to stage the entire movie as one take. The decision would have given Iñárritu his second consecutive one-take movie after “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).” Of course “Birdman” is not an actual one-take but a series of long takes stitched together in editing to appear as a single shot.

"I'm just like trash mag fodder. I don't know," he said. "Because of my disaster of a personal life, probably." However, Pitt said he "has some good ones" when it comes to tips for escaping the paparazzi.  "I got some good getaways that I will not reveal here because they're still in play," he said.

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt recently appeared on Marc Maron’s “Wtf” podcast and admitted to not entirely understanding their acclaimed films “Inception” and “Ad Astra,” respectively. Maron asked Pitt about a point of confusion in James Gray’s “Ad Astra” script, mainly how a spaceship stranded near Neptune was able to send energy surges strong enough to impact the Earth. Maron said he did not understand this part of the film, to which Pitt replied, “I’m not going to explain it to you. … I can’t explain it either.” Pitt’s reveal inspired DiCaprio to get honest about Nolan’s 2010 science-fiction epic.

“That’s like ‘Inception’ for me. What happened? I have no idea,” DiCaprio said as the three men laughed. “You’re just focused on your character, man. I do get involved [with the story], but when it came to Christopher Nolan and...
