Brad Pitt still mocks George Clooney over lost role!
Brad Pitt and George Clooney have been friends for years, but there’s one big point of contention between the two.
Brad landed his breakout Hollywood role in “Thelma & Louise,” a part George also auditioned for—and lost.
“So, I was in TV. I was making a good living, but back then actors would say, ‘Well, I’m a film actor — I just happen to be doing TV,’” he told The Sunday Times Culture magazine. “And I got to the final test for a role in ‘Thelma & Louise.’ And, mother----er, Brad got it.”
He continued, “I didn’t watch ‘Thelma & Louise’ for years, because I was annoyed. The part launched his career in film. He was doing sitcoms and crap before, so when it was the thing that could’ve launched me? F---!”
Of course, Brad knows about George losing out on the role, and of course, teases him about it.
“Oh yeah, he gives me s—t,” he said, adding, “But, of course, when I saw it, I was, like, well it had to be that guy.”
Brad and George have made several films together, including “Ocean’s 11” and its sequels, as well as the more recent “Wolfs.”
And George is a known prankster and Hollywood and has gotten at Brad several times by pretending to be the “Moneyball” star to prank other celebrities.
“I sent [a letter] to Tom Cruise, saying they want to do [Interview with the Vampire 2], but this time Brad wants to play Lestat,” he revealed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
And when it came to Meryl Streep, the former “E.R.” star sent her a gift that “Brad” felt would come in handy for her.
“I sent [a letter] to Meryl Streep with a box of CDs for dialect and I said, ‘This guy helped me with my accent in Troy and I think it could really help you,’” he said.
