Brad Pitt’s first love scene came before he broke out as a movie star.
“I had to roll around in the hay in a barn,” Pitt recalled of the sequence. “I don’t think I had a line. I was just rolling and frolicking.”
The actor also referred to a famous love scene in his 1991 movieThelma and Louise, considered one of Pitt’s breakout roles in the movie industry, as his “entry into the big leagues, I guess.”
“Geena [Davis]was so sweet and kind and delicate,” Pitt recalled of that experience, in which his character J.D. sleeps with Davis' Thelma. “That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me.”
In the interview, Pitt also remembered auditioning three separate times forThelma and Louiseas casting agents “went through a couple of other actors” for the part.
“I just thought, I’m the guy for this,” Pitt told the outlet, when asked if he sawThelma and Louise’s long-lasting impact coming. “But they went through a couple of other actors. I didn’t get the part at first, and then it came back around and I didn’t get it again, and I went, ‘Huh. All right. Moving on.’ "
“And then it came back around again,” he added. “I feel like it was three times.”
