Justin Long Pooped in Bed Next to Wife Kate Bosworth amid Food Poisoning: ‘She Was Not Judging’

Kate Bosworth loves every piece of Justin Long  — literally.

On the Tuesday, July 16 episode of the PIE with Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal podcast, Long, 46, candidly discussed how he was forced to poop in bed next to his wife, 41, after getting food poisoning during a service trip to Mexico City with Smile Train, a charity benefiting children with cleft lips and palates.

"I was hooked up to an IV, and she was having to follow me to the bathroom with the thing, so I was having to just — it was like Dumb and Dumber," recalled Long. "I was just like really like comically unloading and um, 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--- the bed."

"I had s--- the bed, and she was in the bed," he continued. "And I had to just face all of these fears, and by the end, I was like not even thinking about it."

Long said watching Bosworth "patiently" hold on to his IV bag and assure him everything was okay made him love her even more.

"I was like, 'I just love this person. I’m so grateful to this person,'" he said. "She was not judging, not making me feel weird or bad, and I just felt so lucky, you know? I was s---ting my brains out, and she was looking at me like lovingly, and I thought, 'This is really romantic.'"

The trip is one he looked back at fondly. In May, he told PEOPLE that while the food poisoning occurred on the day he and his wife "were meant to tour this incredible hospital," his sickness only lasted for a day.

“I actually got to witness firsthand how great these doctors were and the level of excellence at this hospital. I was the direct recipient of all of this great, important funding from Smile Train," he said.

The couple officially announced their ambassadorship with the organization that same month.

"This partnership has been months in the making, and we’ve had the opportunity to see their work first hand :)," they said in a joint Instagram post.

Long and Bosworth got engaged in March 2023 about a year after they sparked relationship rumors. They married about two months later.
