Geena Davis and Brad Pitt were they in a relationship?

It’s because of Geena Daviswhich had already been chosen by Ridley Scott and Lou DiGiaimo, the casting director of “Thelma and Louise”, that Brad Pitt’s career took a turn and became the one we know today. The two actors, who live a temporary idyll on the screen, have they therefore brought reality and fiction together?

According to Jason Priestley, there was a secret romance between Geena Davis and Brad Pitt

brad pitt, in his early days in Hollywood, lived small roles and mini-appearances in series while waiting for the role he dreamed of to arrive and change his life. He shares his life with the actress Juliet Lewis and his apartment with a certain Jason Priestley, who will become a superstar thanks to his role as Brandon Walsh in the series Beverly Hills 92010. It is also the actor who reveals that a secret romance would have existed between Geena Davis and Brad Pitt, in his 2014 autobiography, who had met on the set of the legendary road movie. If neither of the two actors has invalidated or confirmed this idyll, there is a link that cannot be called into question.

In effect, brad pitt landed the role of JD in the famous Ridley Scott film because he had been spotted by the one who would become his on-screen partneras he revealed during a convention at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in 2020, “What’s weird is that the role had passed into the hands of a lot of actors, and the shooting had already started when I arrived. I think they were desperate, to tell you the truth. They had already started filming and a week later I was on set, performing.” Geena Davis confirmed this anecdote in an interview with Vanity Fair, also in 2020 “Lou and Ridley were talking about the other suitors: this one exuded a certain brutality, this one looked good… But they never mentioned the last one to pass! So I went to talk to them: “Can I say something? Take the blonde!” It will be even more precise with People magazine, the same year “He had the thing. I immediately understood during his audition that he was extremely talented.” This is probably the reason why, when Brad Pitt received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Quentin Tarentino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, he wanted to thank Geena Davis and Ridley Scott for “giving him a chance”. So romance or not, Brad Pitt and Geena Davis are linked by much more than a “clandestine love affair”.
