And it\u2019s safe to say the embattled star <em>really<\/em> didn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Pitt revealed that he has a hard time watching adult film \u2014 and his reason has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Oscar winner simply can\u2019t get past what he considers bad acting.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, Pitt opened up about his love of movies and television while discussing his lengthy career in Hollywood. <\/p>\n<p>The 62-year-old actor admitted that poor performances can quickly take him out of whatever he\u2019s watching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBad acting drives me crazy,\u201d Pitt explained.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Db3iRbImyaz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p>And then came the rather unexpected confession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s why I can\u2019t watch p-rn,\u201d Pitt said.<\/p>\n<p>Pitt also compared the subject to another type of performance that leaves him scratching his head: soccer players dramatically hitting the ground after relatively minor contact.<\/p>\n<p>The actor joked that he would like to give some of the sport\u2019s biggest stars \u2014 including Brazilian megastar Neymar \u2014 acting lessons, suggesting that their theatrics could use some serious improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gonna start a class for flopping, because these guys are terrible. It\u2019s some of the worst acting I\u2019ve ever seen. I know drawing a foul is part of the gamesmanship, but man, they need a lot of help,\u201d the actor explained, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m going to start with (Brazilian star) Neymar, because as balletic as he is on the pitch, man, he needs some help. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Db3iRbImyaz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to show him how to sell it, do it with understatement, how not to do it too often so it reads as real.
