Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
actor
Josh
Brolin
was
left
embarrassed
when
his
pants
ripped
open
while
shooting
his
first
scene
with
co-star
Russell
Crowe
on
the
set
of
American
Gangster.
Brolin
admits
he
was
nervy
about
acting
opposite
Oscar
winner
Crowe
in
the
2007
film,
and
the
untimely
wardrobe
malfunction
made
things
worse.
"I
was
a
little
plumper
than
I
wanted
to
be.
I
justified
it
that
the
character's
tough
and
he
needs
to
be
plumper.
I
came
to
the
set
they
put
the
wardrobe
on
me
and
it
was
tight," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
"I
just
get
through
my
nerves
with
Russell,
and
improvise
a
little
bit.
I
grab
a
chair
and
when
I
sat
down
the
ass
of
my
pants
ripped
right
open.
Usually,
that's
a
great
ice
breaker
but
I
did
the
worst
acting
I''ve
ever
done
in
my
life.
I
was
shaking,
I
was
nervous,"
he
added.
The
40
year
old
actor
revealed
that
he
feared
the
accident
would
cost
him
his
job
but
was
amazed
when
director
Ridley
Scott
appreciated
his
performance.
"I
got
back
to
my
trailer,
took
off
my
pants,
gave
them
to
wardrobe
and
went
to
my
trailer
waiting
to
get
fired.
I
finally
got
a
knock
on
the
door
and
Ridley
says
''Josh,
I
don't
know
what
you're
doing,
but
you''re
bringing
an
incredible
vulnerability
to
this
role.''
"It
was
remarkable...
I
don't
wear
pants
anymore,"
he
added.
