Brad Pitt could relate to his Babylon character. The 59-year-old actor stars in the 1920s set film as the world-weary silent film star Jack Conrad, and Brad shares a similar viewpoint to his alter ego.
‘Sadly enough, that melancholy may be my natural mode of being, some congenital melancholy,’ the Oscar-winning actor told W Magazine’s Great Performances issue. But no, I think there’s a weariness that takes over with the character as he moves on. There’s a world-weariness that I can certainly relate to a little bit,’ the ex of Angelina Jolie added.
Brad continued, ‘At this time, more of us are trying to tear each other down than help each other up. I get a little weary. The Troy actor explained that he immediately connected with the script from director Damien Chazelle.
Pitt said, ‘I’d been following Damien since Whiplash. The script came, and it was 180 pages. I said, “This thing is a masterwork. But what’s going to get cut?” Because it’s really hard to get 120 pages in there.
‘And he said, “Nothing. I’m going to pace it a minute a page. I’m going to have it moving.”’
Brad praised the filmmaker for the way he tells the story and pointed out that his musical background has an influence on his approach behind the camera.
