Geena Davis revealed that an A-list actor hated Brad Pitt because he was jealous that Pitt landed the role of “Thelma & Louise” ahead of him.
On an episode of “The Graham Norton Show,” Davis, who starred alongside Susan Sarandon within the 1991 Ridley Scott flick, recalled Pitt’s audition to play her love interest JD.
“Each of them were very handsome,” said the “A League of Their Own” star of the 4 actors reading for the role.
“All of them had brown hair and were very talented. I didn’t care who it was going to be. Then the fourth one is available in, and it’s Brad Pitt. He’s so charismatic and so incredibly talented that I used to be screwing up his audition.”
Davis shared that she was so taken with the blonde hunk that she forgot her line — but she gave him her endorsement for the role.
She didn’t know the opposite JD hopefuls on the time, but they were Mark Ruffalo and Grand Show from “Melrose Place.”
She had a likelihood encounter with the fourth candidate on a flight from Europe to Los Angeles.
“This gentleman was very friendly and great,” she recalled.
“And at last he said, ‘You understand, I hate Brad Pitt.’ I said, ‘No, you don’t — he’s, like, a very good friend of yours.’ He said, ‘No, I hate him because he got the part.’ ”
“I said, ‘Oh, did you would like the part?’ And he said, ‘You couldn’t tell once I auditioned with you?’ And it was George Clooney.”
Clearly, time softened Clooney’s hatred of the hunk since the pair went on to grow to be great pals, starring together in “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise and “Burn After Reading.”
And in a September interview with Vogue, he called the ER star “probably the most handsome man on the planet.”
