Say what?!

Jason Priestley is opening up about his early days in Hollywood in his upcoming book, Jason Priestley: A Memoir.

In it, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star recalled when he shared an apartment with none other than Brad Pitt in L.A. in 1987.

And while he doesn't spill the details about how he was as a roommate, Priestley did share a funny story about a little competition the two actors shared.

"Just for fun, we used to have competitions over who could go the longest without showering and shaving," the former soap star explained.

OK, gross, but now we're ever so slightly curious as to who would win the big prize—which we hope was an extra-long shower.

"Brad always won," he continued. "Having to go on an audition meant cleaning up, which is what usually put an end to the streak."

Priestley also keeps it real when discussing his co-stars Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty.

He wrote about his first encounter with the actress in 1990 when they were sent on a last-minute trip to New York City on a private jet in order to meet with advertisers for their show.

"I could not believe my ears at Shannen's very first words after she boarded. Her butt had barely hit her seat before she said loudly to the PR person, 'Really? A town car? You send a town car to take me to the airport, not a limo?' She sighed a very put-upon sigh," he shared.

"I laughed, as I couldn't really tell if Shannen was kidding or not."
