Brad Pitt

In a recent episode of Marc Maron's podcast, Hole singer Courtney Love claimed Brad Pitt had her fired from 'Fight Club' over a Kurt Cobain biopic.

“I felt Pitt would not stop pursuing Kurt – unless I said it in public,” she said. It’s that I said NO on the Zoom and that was not enough, and I was not heard. The singer continued: “It’s not just the Zoom I had with Brad in 2020 where I said no to [Plan B Entertainment] and Brad producing it. The idea that Love was even given the role was then later disputed by a source close to the project, which Love also clarified: “On the podcast, I recount the day Brad & Gus Van Sant called me from lunch and tried to blackmail me over my role, for the rights to a film about Kurt. “I don’t know if I trust you, and I don’t know that your movies are for profit,” the Hole singer claims she told him at the time. She has spoken further on the claim in the new social media post, clarifying that “I am not here 22 years later bitching about losing a part playing someone’s side piece in a movie.”

Brad Pitt was "embarrassed" by a scene in the Ridley Scott film 'Thelma & Louise' with Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen and more.

Written and creatively masterminded by screenwriter Callie Khouri, who would win an Oscar for her debut piece of work, the film is a Western-inspired, venomously-spiked escape to Mexico, avoiding Texas at all costs. Detailing her experience with Pitt in her memoir Dying of Politeness, Davis explained how the actor felt embarrassed by a small pimple on his bottom, insisting that it was covered up throughout filming. Iñárritu, Terrence Malick, Spike Jonze, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam and Adam McKay, Pitt has one of the most impressive filmographies in all of modern cinema.

According to Love, the actor and director phoned her with a pitch that bordered on blackmail. She alleges Fight Club director David Fincher phoned her shortly after her conversation with Pitt and Van Sant and fired her over the phone.

I told the story because I felt Pitt would not stop pursuing Kurt – unless I said it in public. ‘On the podcast, I recount the day Brad & Gus Van Sant called me from lunch and tried to blackmail me over my role, for the rights to a film about Kurt. Plus, I heard Pitt was dealing with the same demons. I enjoy him as a movie star immensely. Not so much as a biopic producer.’ I lost my shit on them, and by 7pm I was fired from Fight Club.
