Justin Long talked about an experience he shared with his wife Kate Bosworth.

The He just doesn’t like you Actor appeared on the PIE with Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal Podcast on Tuesday, July 16, in which he talked about suffering from food poisoning while on vacation with Bosworth in Mexico.

“I was hooked up to an IV and (Bosworth) had to follow me to the bathroom with the thing,” he explained. “It was like Dumb and Dumber. I just let out my anger in a weird way and then I woke up at some point in the night – and I can’t say it any other way. I can’t get around it. I had shit in the bed. I had shit in the bed and she was in the bed.”

The Barbar The star admitted he was afraid to tell her what happened, but he knew there was no way to avoid it. However, Bosworth handled the situation better than Long initially thought.

“She was standing about two feet away from me with this IV bag,” Long continued. “And she was holding it so patiently and saying, ‘Everything is OK.’ And I thought about how much I loved her. I thought, ‘I just love this person, I’m so grateful to this person.'”

Despite his poor physical condition, Long appreciated Bosworth’s ability not to focus on the dirty sheets or feel guilty about the accident.

“She didn’t judge me, didn’t make me feel weird or bad, and I was just so lucky, you know?” he said. “I was fucking my heart out and she looked at me lovingly and I thought, ‘This is really romantic.'”

The actor then explained what Bosworth asked him to do after she found out what had happened, including telling him to take a shower while she called the doctor.

“She convinced me to take a shower after I, you know, fucked the bed,” he said. “You know where you want to be in bed? But I took a shower, cleaned myself up and then she got on the phone with the doctor and she saw me.”

He continued, “I can count on one hand the number of times she looked at something I did with judgment. But I saw her watching me go to bed, back to bed, to the same bed, on the side. I avoided the spot, but I still fell back into my filth.”

The Jeepers Creepers The actor first announced in an episode of his own podcast that he and Bosworth got married in 2023. Life is shortwhen he called her his wife just one month after announcing their engagement.

“I was there when I really fell in love with my now wife,” Long explained during the podcast. “She came to visit, and I was never comfortable with… scheduled visits, I was never crazy about them. I’m happy to end the relationship.”

Still, he said he enjoyed having Bosworth on set.

“Yes, I loved having her there and we just had the most magical time,” said the Tusk Star said: “It helped me to have her there. She helped me with the scenes. It was the best.”
