Brad Pitt Too Good Looking To Act?
Okay maybe that title isn’t completely true. However, Kevin MacDonald, who is the director of the upcoming movie “State of Play”, has said that he is glad that Brad Pitt dropped out of the role of the journalist because he was just too good looking for the part. Pitt dropped out of the role in pre-production citing script concerns. Russell Crowe took over the role after Pitt’s departure which didn’t upset MacDonald too much. He says, “In a way, I was lucky it didn’t work out with Brad. The relationship between the journalist and the politician was meant to be between somebody who feels inferior, who’s a bit of a schlump, who kind of can’t get a girlfriend, and somebody he’s looking up to and admires - his polished politician friend. That is not the dynamic of a Brad Pitt. He’s not looking up to anyone thinking ‘Oh, I wish I could have your girlfriend’.” Hmm, so not only is Brad Pitt too handsome, but Russell Crowe is just ugly enough. Brilliant!
