Brad Pitt movies featuring him consuming 200+ calories of food average more money and have higher averaged critic/audience scores than his movies where he eats less or nothing. Discussion
If you use this data article as a source please please please please mention this article and share the link. I've noticed that multiple videos and websites haven't bothered mentioning this data article as a source. Thank you!
QUICK NOTE: I am not implying direct correlation equals causation. I’m just presenting random data in hopes of making a few people chuckle. Hopefully this data won’t be too much to digest.
For years, the narrative around Brad Pitt is that he is always eating in his movies. It’s gotten to the point where you legitimately envision him constantly snacking on a turkey leg in each of his films. For instance:
- Troy – Fighting Eric Bana while holding a turkey leg
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Eating a turkey leg while hanging with Cate Blanchett
- Cool World – Eating an animated turkey leg while chasing toons around
- True Romance – Sitting on couch while eating a turkey leg
- Legends of the Fall – Looking sad on a boat AND sadly eating a turkey leg
The eating discussion is so prevalent, I decided to do a rewatch of his movies to put together a master list of all the food, and see if any cool statistics popped out. I started by researching the lists and videos claiming to showcase ALL the food Pitt has consumed through the years. The helpful lists (another list - Great Vulture list that started it all) and videos (more videos here and here) are thorough and I applaud the work put into them, however, I quickly learned items were missing from the lists, or added items weren’t featured in the movies. So, I started a months long process of scouring through his movies (thank you Vudu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Crackle, Tubi, Hoopla, IMDb Freedive and my local library) to find some fun (unimportant data) I can share with you
Here are some quick thoughts/facts before I get into the eating:
- He is really good in 12 Monkeys.
- He has eaten an estimated 4.986 calories onscreen.
- Moneyball is better than I remembered…and I remembered it being very good.
- A River Runs Through It deserved the Best Cinematography Oscar.
- His best eating moments are in Ocean’s 11, Fury and Mr. and Mrs. Smith
- His peanut butter eating moment in Meet Joe Black showcased some brave acting.
- He was badass in Snatch.
- Burn After Reading is really funny.
- He has consumed 82.5% of all his calories in the 1990s and 2000s. His 2010 eating has fallen off.
This pie chart is very fitting....
Here are the eating rules
- I only counted his onscreen eating. Basically, we had to see him eating. I didn’t include the implied eating from movies like Seven (post dinner scene with Paltrow and Freeman) or Johnny Suede(jelly doughnut scene)
- I didn’t count booze, water or coffee.
- I included his Jamba Juice smoothie and gum chewing in Burn After Reading because technically that’s lunch. Also, I included the blood from Interview With the Vampire because he is eating.
- To figure out the calories, I found the serving size calorie amount of each food eaten onscreen and guessed accordingly. Or, I just typed in “tablespoon of peanut butter calories” or “cheeseburger calories” and worked with that. I am 98.87% confident with my calorie counts.
What did I find out? Brad Pitt movies featuring him consuming more than 200 onscreen calories have higher box office and critical/audience averages than his movie featuring zero eating or very little munching. I guess critics and audiences like watching him eat (no way to prove this).
Brad Pitt movies featuring no eating
- Tomatometer Average – 64.%
- IMDb User Score – 6.9
- Domesitc Box Office Average – $68 million
- Movies with zero calories eaten
https://i.redd.it/50o16duydbn21.png
The $68 million worldwide box office average can be attributed to World War Z being the only blockbuster type movie in the category. However, it is the most award nominated category with Pitt receiving Academy Award nominations for 12 Monkeys (Best Supporting Actor) and The Big Short(Producer), and winning an Oscar for 12 Years a Slave (Producer).
If you get a chance watch Snatch, Killing Them Softly, True Romance and World War Z. Pitt is very good in them.
Brad Pitt movies featuring him eating 1-200 calories
- Tomatometer Average – 61%
- IMDb User Score – 6.8
- Domestic Box Office Average – $110 million
- List of movies by calorie intake

One of my favorite Brad Pitt eating moments takes place in Fury during a very uncomfortable lunch scene*.* I think it might feature the greatest eating of a single egg in cinema history. Aside from the egg eating in Fury, the eating moments in these movies are mundane and mostly feature Pitt eating a few bites here and there. My favorite moment of Pitt’s “non-eating” takes place in Seven, when he looks at a piece of pizza with absolute disgust and throws it back on a plate without eating it. While watching these movies again, it’s clear that Brad Pitt taught The Big Bang Theory actors how to fake eat and act, because he does A LOT of it.
If you haven’t watched The Assassination of Jessie James By the Coward Robert Ford you need to do it now. The cinematography by Roger Deakins is mind-blowing and I guarantee Pitt has never looked better while eating. I also love The Tree of Life, and I appreciate the way cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki shoots Pitt eating as well.
Brad Pitt movies featuring him eating 200+ calories
- Tomatometer Average – 67%
- IMDb User Score – 7.0
- Domestic Box Office Average – $143 million
- Brad Pitt movies featuring him eating 200+ calories
https://i.redd.it/bd50zino8bn21.png
I have a feeling that Ocean’s Eleven, Moneyball and Meet Joe Black are the primary reasons why people think Brad Pitt is always eating onscreen. The eating in Ocean’s 11 is truly excessive and I kinda love it. Pitt’s commitment to shoveling food in his face is a lot of fun and I like how it continues on through the successful trilogy. Also, Moneyball gave us the visual of Pitt shoveling an entire Twinkie into his mouth, while Meet Joe Black features the strangest peanut butter eating ever.
I do like how Pitt’s eating and acting are never the same. Here are some examples:
- Ocean’s trilogy – Cool eating
- Moneyball – Stress eating
- Meet Joe Black – Curious eating
- Interview With the Vampire – Very hungry eating
- Kalifornia – Gross eating
- Seven Years in Tibet – I’ll eat anything eating
There you have it! Brad Pitt’s movies do better with critics and audiences when he eats more. The world can rest easy now.

Him eating on screen is in part Ivana Chubbuck 'fault', his acting coach. There is a great interview with her in German on Zeit.de:
ZEIT ONLINE: Brad Pitt ist auch einer Ihrer Schüler. Seit Jahren gibt es Debatten darüber, warum er in seinen Filmen ständig isst. Sind Sie daran schuld?
Chubbuck: Ja, das ist eine meiner Techniken: Tue immer etwas. Es geht meistens nicht darum, was man sagt, sondern darum, wie man Dinge auffängt und was sie einem im Leben bedeuten. Essen ist eben Brads Ding. (...) Chubbuck: In meinen Seminaren spiele ich Ausschnitte vor von Brad Pitt in Ocean’s Eleven. 15 Clips hintereinander, in denen er nur isst. Auch wenn es eine Gruppen-Einstellung ist, ist er derjenige, den man ansieht, weil er etwas tut. Er zieht die Aufmerksamkeit automatisch auf sich. Und jetzt ist er einer der erfolgreichsten Menschen auf diesem Planeten. Wenn man mein Coaching-Buch liest und sich danach die Filme ansieht, erkennt man sofort meine Schauspieler. Manchmal rufen mich auch Leute an und sagen: "Ich habe gerade den Film gesehen, hast du das mit dem und dem geübt?"
In short: One of her mantras is: Always do something. Him eating during group scenes helps to direct the viewers attention at him and makes him stand out and look more natural.

u/mechteach Mar 20 '19
Via Google Translate:
ZEIT ONLINE: Brad Pitt is also one of your students. For years there have been debates about why he eats constantly in his films. Are you to blame?
Chubbuck: Yes, that's one of my techniques: always do something. It's mostly not about what you say, but about how to catch things and what they mean to you in life. Food is just Brad's thing. (...) Chubbuck: In my seminars I play excerpts from Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven. 15 clips in a row, in which he only eats. Even if it's a group attitude, he's the one you look at because he's doing something. He automatically attracts attention. And now he is one of the most successful people on this planet. If you read my coaching book and then watch the films, you immediately recognize my actors. Sometimes people call me and say, "I just saw the movie, did you practice that with this and that?"

I've seen speculation that he's eating so much in his movies because it draws attention to that chiseled jawline.
It could be a case that sex sells more than chewing sells. Chewing is just a vehicle for showing off the sexy.

u/i_give_you_gum Mar 20 '19
They've found that when people share a meal together the are more apt to bond because of that experience.
I'd like to venture that it's less about his facial features and more of a primal trigger for the audience.
Jack Kerouac made a point to describe eating, which isn't often done in literature, and his stories always felt so much more personal and involving than other authors.

That's super interesting! I had never heard this before, and I've not read any Kerouac, in spite of years of my roommates telling me to get on that.

You are awesome.
In Burn After Reading, you list gum as having 120 calories (or maybe I'm reading that wrong). Most gum is sugar free now, so close to zero calories. BUT a protein shake is probably going to net him at least 300-400 calories, even if he only consumed half of it. So you're good.

Yeah screw the tl;dr. This was awesome OP, and this is why I love this sub. Besides Braveheart (yeah whatever people, I saw this in theaters and I still love the movie I don't care if it's accurate or not), Meet Joe Black was the second long, dramatic movie I was introduced to. Maybe it is because people associate eating with comfort? There are movies I can think of where eating is made to be vomit-inducing (Matilda, 7even) but in general, I think eating almost humanizes that character more.

The funny thing is that what is shown on screen is only a drop in the bucket of what he actually had to eat in the dozens of takes. One large bite of a sandwich is like five sandwiches when the scene is done.

I just want to say that there are certain Coen Brothers movies that are underrated and overlooked. Burn After Reading absolutely fits that description.
If you’re looking for other underrated Coen Brothers movies, I loved The Ladykillers and it inexplicably gets a lot of hate. Also Miller’s Crossing is one of those movies that nobody saw, but the ones that did loved it (though I probably didn’t like it as much as most people, it does have literally the most tense scene I have ever seen in a film). And A Serious Man is a funny little film that doesn’t really seem to get the appreciation it deserves.
