When Brad Pitt was told that he would be playing a boxer in Snatch (2000), Pitt became concerned because he just finished Fight Club (1999) and didn’t want to play same type of role again. Pitt took role anyway because he wanted to work with Ritchie so bad

“Snatch” is one of my favorite films. Such a gem:

TheDamnSkippy1 year ago

Upgraded “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” Both are enjoyable.

It’s a much different role. He’s still a little hard to understand when he’s speaking like that.

Sébastien Tertrais1 year ago

In this movie, he’s so close to the Tinkers, it’s astonishing. I know these people, and he portrayed them so realistically.

Eric Pellinen1 year ago

He made a great choice.

Luke1 year ago

The accent was so thick, even Brad Pitt said he didn’t know what he was saying in Snatch (2000). Guy Ritchie kept it barely understandable — to roast critics who complained about accents in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Brad Pitt really wanted to be in Snatch, but he just couldn't master the British accent to solve this, Guy Ritchie created the famously incomprehensible "Mickey" character specifically for him.

In 12 Monkeys (1995) director was afraid that Brad Pitt wouldn't be able to pull off the nervous, rapid speech. He sent him to a speech coach but in the end he just took away Pitt's cigarettes, and Pitt played the part exactly as director wanted.

Snatch (2000) Brad Pitt called Guy Richie asking him if he could be in the film. Guy immediately offered him the lead. Pitt struggled with the London accent but could pull off an Irish one, so Mickey and the Irish storyline was added to the movie specifically for Pitt.

Brad Pitt publicly hated Troy (2004) and regretted taking the role. Pitt took the role because he needed to fulfill a commitment after withdrawing from another Warner Bros. project. To avoid legal and financial penalties, Brad Pitt agreed to star in Troy instead. He called it "a commercial kind of thing," saying the storytelling lacked mystery because the camera was always focused on him as the hero. Even so, he committed fully to Achilles. Pitt spent nearly 6 months training in sword fighting, boxing, sprinting, and weightlifting, gaining around 10–15 pounds (4.5–7 kg) of lean muscle to resemble ancient Greek statues. While filming, he ironically tore his Achilles tendon during a battle scene, delaying production. Looking back, Pitt admitted, "I chunked that scene... I blew that scene. It could be better. I would love another shot at it." Ironically, many fans and critiques believe that the flatness actually works for Achilles in the film — a character who doesn’t care about anything except winning battles.

Brad Pitt produced The Departed (2006) and was originally set to play Colin Sullivan. He stepped away just before filming, feeling he was too old to play a fresh police recruit, and personally suggested Matt Damon for the role instead.

Brad Pitt’s near-gibberish accent in Snatch (2000) was by design. Guy Ritchie wanted a cheeky answer to critics, and Pitt, dreading a London accent, borrowed it from a character in the Irish sitcom Father Ted.

When Brad Pitt delivers final lines to Hans Landa, Quentin Tarantino encouraged him to lean into dark humor. He wanted the scene to feel both like a Western standoff and subtle comedy. Pitt enjoyed so much he did slight improvisations in different takes

In FIGHT CLUB (1999), Brad Pitt really was punched in the ear. The script called for a punch to the shoulder, but David Fincher secretly told Edward Norton to hit Pitt in the ear instead. Pitt’s shocked reaction and, “You hit me in the ear!” were completely genuine.

Brad Pitt was so cocky that he stopped a take without Tarantino’s permission in mid scene and Tarantino almost lost it “The look on Quentin’s face, I mean, he was insanely grave.” “Brad, what did you just do?’” Tarantino asked Pitt. Pitt said, ‘Well, I cut the camera.’ Tarantino said, ‘Never again in your life will you ever cut a camera or you’ll be dead in this business. That’s my domain. Don’t stop behavior.’”

During the filming of the Interview with the Vampire (1994), Brad Pitt wanted to quit because he hated the long night shoots, itchy contact lenses, and the entire gothic vibe. He went to producer David Geffen and asked, “How much to get me out of this?” Geffen replied, “Forty million dollars,” due to an escape clause in his contract. Pitt laughed, realized he was stuck, and finished the film. It later earned two Oscar nominations.
