Brad Pitt gave his long-time makeup artist, Jean Black, a special surprise. How you may ask? The actor joined Drew and Jonathan Scott for their latest TV show ‘Celebrity IOU’ if that gives you a hint.

In the premiere episode, Pitt worked with the Scott brothers to renovate the guesthouse of Black. What we didn’t know is Pitt has a background in architecture.

Pitt proved his passion by getting down and dirty with the Brother’s welding, hammering, and looking over blueprints in the first episode.

Makeup artist, Jean Black, has been by Pitt’s side since the very beginning of his career in the 90s’. So when he knew she wanted these renovations done, Pitt jumped into action.

When they finished, the final product from the renovations is stunning. As the brothers revealed the finishing touches, Pitt started to get emotional on-screen.

“This will mean so much to her,” he said. “I’m the guy whos gonna cry on television. I can’t take it in just yet, what it will mean to her, and all the people she helps, and how much she means to me. It’s just great.”

Black’s shocked reaction when she saw it finished Pitt off. She embraced him in a hug and told him she loves him, which brought the two to tears.

“Celebrity IOU” airs every Monday night at 9 p.m. ET on HGTV with future celebrity appearances by Michael Buble, Viola Davis, Jeremy Renner, Melissa McCarthy, and Rebel Wilson.
