Geena Davis has claimed Brad Pitt was so 'embarrassed' about a spot on his bottom that he begged a make-up artist to cover it up.

The actress, 66, who starred alongside the Hollywood superstar, 58, in 1991's Thelma & Louise joked that he was happy to strip off for a raunchy scene, as long as the zit was concealed.

In an excerpt from her new book, Dying of Politeness, obtained by The Sun, Geena wrote: 'Brad, for his part, couldn't have cared less about all the fuss over his looks.'

Geena continued: 'He was just embarrassed about a tiny little pimple on his butt that the make-up gal re-covered after each take.' 

While discussing the movie recently, Brad said he was 'really grateful' to director Ridley Scott and Geena for '[giving him] a shot' and choosing him for the role of J.D.

 'I had nothing to show for myself, except for my work as an extra, and they took a chance on me,' explained the 56-year-old actor in an interview published by The Sun.

Though he is thankful for his breakthrough role, Pitt admitted that he cannot help but cringe at the 'high voice' he put on for the character.

'I'm more aware of how high my voice is in it. My a** must have been clenched so tight, being the first one,' joked the two-time Academy Award winner.

Pitt also believes producers of the 1991 film 'were desperate' to cast the part due to its production schedule.

'I think they were desperate, to tell you the truth. They were already shooting because a week later I was on set, working.'

At his final audition for Thelma & Louise, he was going head-to-head with 'five other actors,' one of which was George Clooney.

According to Brad, it was his co-star Geena that plucked him out from the bunch.

'The blond one . . . hello!' gushed Geena at the time.

Brad officially landed the role in 1990 and the film went on to premiere in theaters in the spring of 1991.
