The Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott just launched a brand new show on HGTV, Celebrity IOU, and scored themselves a VERY special guest for their premiere episode -- Brad Pitt! The new series has been years in the making will allow celebrities "to give the gift of home to the special people who have touched their lives". Stars making an appearance this season include, Jeremy Renner, Michael Bublé, Melissa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, and Viola Davis. Now that's an A-list lineup!
In the series premiere, Pitt makes his HGTV debut as he works alongside the Scott brothers to renovate the guesthouse of Jean Black, a longtime friend and Hollywood makeup artist whom he considers "family". The two-time Oscar winner took it upon himself to surprise his pal with a special renovation while she's out of town, and he's not afraid of getting down and dirty in the process.
Pitt didn't just stand back and watch, the star was seen knocking down walls and putting his muscles to use in order to make the dream a reality. When the renovation was complete, Pitt couldn't fight the emotion and shed a few tears of joy when revealing the special surprise to his pal.
Pitt seemed to have an absolutely blast on the show and the Scott brothers had nothing but praise following their interaction. Jonathan stated, "Brad… I was blown away! Drew and I were both surprised." The brothers went on to marvel at how down to earth they found the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star, adding, "He wanted everybody to feel like he was spending some time getting to know them and at the very end he remembered every single person’s name on the production crew and on the construction crew. He remembered everybody and wanted to make sure that they knew how grateful he was for what was happening. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word."
Pitt later made an appearance on Good Morning America and discussed his experience on the show. The actor stated, "It's fantastic! I've been waiting so long to see something like this happen to that dump."
