See how the ‘Tropic Thunder’ movie exec made the famous tighty-whities scene a reality. By Jocelyn Vena In honor of the upcoming 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Les Grossman (of “Tropic Thunder” fame) is sharing some “Great Moments in Movie History,” starting with a behind-the-scenes stroke of genius on the 1983 set of “Risky Business.” As we hear the intro of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” we’re ready for a pants-less Joel Goodsen to come sliding out — only this time, he’s wearing khakis. Grossman makes it clear that he is not a fan of the chinos. “Did anyone else see this? Someone just took a dump in my eyes!” he shouts at the crew before tearing off the pants. “This is a teen movie, and teens love a–. Now dance, monkey! Let’s roll on this.” With that last-minute decision, movie history was made. Grossman is the latest high-profile name to get involved with the MTV Movie Awards promos. Justin Bieber recently hooked up with the show’s host, Aziz Ansari, and “The Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner, who yelled at the pop star to “relax on the chips there, cowboy.” Also, former Movie Awards host Sarah Silverman , along with Zac Efron, Diddy and Kristen Bell, gave fans a history of Ansari in a promo. “There was this Halloween once,” Zac Efron said of Aziz’s past displays of heroism. “Someone needed to step up and dress like a pumpkin, but no one wanted to do it except Aziz. He saved a lot of lives that day. And that’s why I’m glad he’s hosting the MTV Movie Awards.” Don’t miss the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , airing live from Los Angeles on Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
