Before he was half of Brangelina, Brad Pitt was a Bible-thumper.
In his self-titled new book, “Jason Priestley: A Memoir,” the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star writes about his friendship with Pitt in the late ’80s and early ’90s, when both were struggling actors in Los Angeles.
After a Christmas visit with his family in the Midwest in 1990, Pitt threw a small holiday party. All the guys exchanged bottles of booze — “except for our host,” writes Priestley.
“Brad had returned from Missouri with a box of Bibles,” he writes. “There was one for each of us … Brad was so pleased with himself he could not stop smiling.”
Pitt, who had recently wrapped his role in “Thelma & Louise,” was carrying on a secret affair with co-star Geena Davis, Priestly writes.
