In 2013, while shooting the World War 2 movie, Fury, he was considered at risk for developing trench foot, so a Podiatrist was employed to take care of his feet:
Brad Pitt’s feet “are a mess” after spending hours in mud filming his new movie.
Standing in mud up to his knees has left Brad with nasty feet and producers have apparently hired a chiropodist to ensure their leading man doesn’t get trench foot.
While shooting the movie, Troy in 2004 playing the Greek demigod, Achilles, he partially ruptured his achilles tendon:
The gods, it seems, were not pleased by this fleet-footed choreography. Brad came down hard and – bitter irony, this – injured his Achilles tendon.
“Look at his face when he lands,” says director Wolfgang Petersen. “There’s a second you can see something’s wrong. Great for the scene, terrible for the movie. Brad was hobbling around for months and we had to come back later to finish the last scene – which, ironically, was another big one-on-one combat scene, the one between Brad and Eric. We shot the first few frames, when they size each other up, in September. But it wasn’t ’til December we shot the rest.”
