Geena Davis Claims George Clooney Resented Brad Pitt Over 'Thelma & Louise' Role
Actress Geena Davis revealed during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" that her "Ocean’s Eleven" co-star George Clooney initially harbored resentment toward Brad Pitt. According to Davis, Clooney admitted to disliking Pitt after losing the role of J.D. in the 1991 film "Thelma & Louise" to him. Davis recounted a flight encounter where a talkative Clooney confessed his frustration, stating, "I hate him because he got the part in 'Thelma & Louise.'" Although Clooney and Pitt later became close friends and collaborators, this anecdote highlights early career competition between the two Hollywood stars. Davis also discussed her experience working with Pitt, describing their on-screen kiss as "sublime" and affirming that Pitt secured the breakout role purely on merit due to his superior audition performance. The host, Andy Cohen, agreed that Pitt was the right choice for the character. This revelation provides insight into the professional dynamics and rivalries that existed among major actors in the early 1990s before their eventual camaraderie.
