Brad Pitt rose to prominence as a cowboy hitchhiker in Ridley Scott’s road movie, 1991’s Thelma & Louise. He has received several accolades, including an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award. Obviously, the actor will determine who he will work with and who he will not work with.
Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson claims that his co-star Brad Pitt has a “good” list and a “sh*t” list of actors with whom he will and will not work. The two stars in “Bullet Train,” directed by David Leitch of “John Wick” and “Deadpool 2.” The actor spoke about working with Pitt while promoting his latest film at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.
The actor described Pitt as a “humble and gracious human being,” telling Variety, “He is in a new chapter of his life, I think. He just wants to bring light and joy into the world and be around people who are there to have a good time,” Taylor-Johnson, who has previously starred in action films such as “Kick-Ass” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” stated. He further expanded on this “sh*t list.”
“You work with many actors and after a while, you start making notes: ‘I am definitely not working with this person ever again.’ Brad has this list too: the ‘good’ list and the ‘sh*t’ list.”
Taylor-Johnson was hospitalized after suffering significant injuries on set during a fight sequence from the film, which was released in the United States on Friday. The actor fainted due to “low blood sugar levels” shortly after sustaining a hand injury after implementing a “crazy mad Keto diet” in an effort to get “scrawny and lean” for the film.
“We were in a fight sequence and I get drop-kicked across the room. And the one sharp bit of the corner where there wasn’t any padding took a chunk out of my hand. I literally went wham, passed out.”
“Then I came back and was like ‘Should we go again?’ and they were like ‘No, no, no. You gotta go get stitches at the hospital.’ So then I spent the night in the hospital.”
“When you sign up for a David Leitch movie you know you gotta get a couple battle scars, some war wounds.”
We can be sure that any actor we see in a Brad Pitt film has his approval. That is true power in Hollywood, but Pitt’s proven track record obviously gives him that major perk. To get the latest updates, keep an eye on Thirsty.
