Brad Pitt was so tired of having to work with his stinky co-star Eli Roth on the set of their new movie Inglorious Basterds, that he forced him to wash with baby wipes.

The pair play Nazi-hunting soldiers in Quentin Tarantino’s new movie and were forced to get close together during violent action scenes. And Eli confesses he often didn't have time to shower, and found his lack of personal hygiene stinking out the set and annoying Brad.

He says, "He shared that when you're sweating and don't have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits.

"After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're ripe.' I said, 'I didn’t have time to shower.' He said, 'Baby wipes, man, baby wipes.'

"He said, 'I got six kids. All you've got to do is just take them, a couple quick wipes under the pits. Man, I'm getting pissed on all day. I don't have time to take a shower.'"

Eli adds, "I thought that was the greatest tip. My character is called the Bear Jew. If I ever started to smell like a bear, I would just use a couple baby wipes under the armpits, and it made it safe for everyone else to act around me."

Anyone who’s got kids can identify with Brad’s elegant, quick-fix solution to personal hygiene!
