Brad Pitt's New Role Pays Tribute To Hollywood

In his role in the new film, the A-lister pays tribute to Hollywood and the industry that made him a star

Given his relationship history, it’s perhaps fitting for Brad Pitt to be playing a guy who flirts with danger and disaster. However, it’s not an ex-wife whom the actor has to move on from in his latest drama flick, but Tinseltown itself !

In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Brad plays Cliff– a washed-up TV star’s stunt double, who’s trying to make ends meet among Hollywood’s rich and famous in the ’60s.

Here, Brad, 55, talks about risking it as a stuntman, his thrill at working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin and how Hollywood has changed…

What drew you to Quentin’s film?

I thought it was a great idea and combination.

The longer I do this, the company I keep becomes as important as the project itself. So when Quentin calls and Leo, Margot and the rest of the cast are involved, you’re going to do it.

What was it like pairing up with Leo?
