Brad Pitt is in this movie!

I saw Hunk when I was a young boy and enjoyed it, so I decided to get the DVD last year. When I was re-watching it, I noticed a guy in the background, just one of those non-speaking, uncredited extras. I swear to God it's Brad Pitt! If I recall, he's in the scene when Bradley first meets the snooty Trivial Pursuit people on the beach, before he plays volleyball with them. Brad is lounging with a female, and he might be to the right of the screen behind Skeet (or was it the other guy?) when it cuts to him talking. I'll have to post some screenshots. Anyway, just thought I'd let the fans know.

I'M SO EXCITED! I'M SO EXCITED! I'M SO...SCARED!!!

It is Brad Pitt. It was when he first moved to Hollywood, and worked as an extra. You can also see him as an extra in "Less Than Zero" & "No Man's Land"

I didn't keep a look out. I'll try and see next time I watch it.

That is cool to hear! Now that I own the DVD I will have to check it out to see if I can see him in that scene or not of HUNK.

Hey, thanks for sharing. I'm sure it was a blast to be an extra.

Thanks for the heads-up! I wish I had read your post before I watched this, but I'll look for him again. Did you ever get around to those screen shots?

I just saw the movie tonight after YEARS. It was actually one of my favorites as a child. lol. Shocking, I know, but it's really kind of a cute movie. I wouldn't have noticed Brad Pitt had I not checked out this forum after watching. Pretty cool!

[–] WarpedRecord 13 years ago

Thanks! He's difficult to spot unless you're really looking for him ... and even then you might miss him.

Never knew Brad was in this, thanks for the info.

Very interesting! Good shot on the DVD at around 16m50s (when the scene cuts to Skeet). Brad is sitting behind a girl. They're both lounging on what appears to be an inflatable bench & drinking from red plastic cups.

Another good one, @ around 17m05s, when the scene cuts back to Skeet for the second time. This time we can get a partial look at his chest -- his shoulders & pecs, anyhow!

Update: I'm also pretty sure that Brad appears again when Hunk meets Skeet & company (~36m30s & again ~36m57s). This time he's sitting in a yellow & white lounge chair like those of the main actors. Could someone confirm?

You have a good eye, Madness! I do think that's him. I bought the DVD specifically because of Brad, and I'm watching the extras to catch glimpses of him. He is certainly in the earlier (16 min.) scene, and I agree that that is him in the later (36 min.) scene also. Incidentally, isn't it funny that all the beach chairs in that scene are the same? Must've been a good sale at Rose's that week lol!
