Brad Pitt, a renowned actor and twice an Oscar laureate, shared on a podcast his experience of being starstruck by some of his co-stars during the filming of his breakthrough role in “Thelma & Louise” (1991). This iconic movie, directed by Ridley Scott, significantly boosted Pitt’s career.
Brad Pitt was starstruck by his Thelma & Louise costars
In a recent confession, Emmy-winning actor Brad Pitt admitted that he was left in awe by his co-stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon during the filming of their iconic roles in Thelma & Louise back in 1991.
During his chat on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Pitt reminisced about encountering renowned actresses like Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon. “Upon first meeting them,” he confessed, followed by a chuckle, “I was initially taken aback, but I soon got over it rather swiftly.
The road movie marked a pivotal point in Brad Pitt’s acting journey, transitioning him from an up-and-coming talent to a popular heartthrob in Hollywood. In this film, the esteemed actor portrays J.D., a charismatic drifter who captivates Thelma (Davis) and eventually deceives her by robbing her.
Earlier, Pitt expressed affectionately about Davis taking good care of him during the intimate scene in Thelma & Louise. He shared with W Magazine that “Geena [Davis] was incredibly sweet, kind, and gentle. That love scene, I believe, lasted for two days of filming, and she took great care of me.
Additionally, he shared his story of securing the role. Brad Pitt, from Fight Club, reminisced, “I felt I was the perfect fit for this part. However, they considered other actors initially. The role didn’t originally go to me, and then it came back a second time, but not to me again. I shrugged it off, thinking, ‘Well, it seems not meant to be.’ But then, it came back a third time. It feels like fate was at play.
During the interview, he shared that there was a particular actor who left him awestruck when he first started out in his career. He went on to express his excitement over meeting John Cusack just a week after moving to Los Angeles, who happens to be the former spouse of Angelina Jolie.
At a Fishbone concert in the valley, the actor from Ocean’s Eleven remarked, “I spotted John Cusack there. That was my first encounter with anyone in the movie industry – it felt quite surreal, sharing the same space as someone I used to watch on the big screen.
