Justin Long confessed that after contracting food poisoning, he accidentally pooped the bed while Kate Bosworth was in it.
Justin Long has a confession.
The 46-year-old actor appeared on Tuesday's PIE With Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal podcast episode in which he confessed that he dropped a No. 2 next to his No.1, wife Kate Bosworth.
He recalled the story of contracting food poisoning on a trip to Mexico City with Bosworth -- whom he wed in May 2023 after ET confirmed their engagement in March 2023 -- and shocking her when he accidentally pooped the bed the two were sharing.
"I was hooked up to an IV, and [Kate] was having to follow me to the bathroom with the thing," he explained. "It was like Dumb and Dumber. I was just, like, really comically unloading, and then, at one point that night, I woke up, and there's no other way to say this, I can't dance around it: I had s–t the bed. I had s–t the bed, and she was in the bed."
But Bosworth, 41, didn't run away. Instead, she helped to nurse her husband back to health.
"She was, like, two feet away from me with this IV bag," Long continued. "And she was holding it so patiently, and she was like: 'Everything's fine.' And I thought about how much I loved her. I was like: 'I just love this person, I'm so grateful to this person.'"
Although the stinky situation was an embarrassing moment from Long's perspective, Bosworth understood that he was battling an illness. He praised her for her compassion.
"She was not judging, not making me feel weird, or bad, and I just felt so lucky, you know?" the Barbarian star said. "I was s–tting my brains out, and she was looking at me lovingly, and I thought: 'This is really romantic.'"
Bosworth takes her "in sickness and in health" vows seriously. She sweetly helped Long clean himself up so he could get some rest, but may have judged him when he got back into bed.
"She convinced me to take a shower after, you know, s–tting the bed," he said. "You know where all you want to do is be in bed? But I got myself in the shower, I cleaned off, and then she was on the phone with the doctor, and she saw me."
He continued, "I could count on one hand how many times she’s had a judgmental approach to something that I was doing. But I saw her watch me get into bed, back into bed, into the same bed, onto my side. I was avoiding the spot, but I was still getting back into my filth."
While other partners might have run for the hills after the pungent wake-up, Bosworth stayed by Long's side. Even Long's ex, Drew Barrymore, has remarked how they're the "ultimate couple."
In January, Bosworth explained how her relationship with Long works in an episode of Hollywood Houselift With Jeff Lewis.
"I always say like, he is the flow and I am the structure and those things work really well together," the actress said of her relationship. "If you were working with him, he'd be like, 'Yeah, whatever, go for it.' He's the complete opposite. So we're a good balance that way for sure."
