Acting is not everybody’s cup of tea, since the profession not only comes with a lot of pressure but also brings a ridiculous amount of reward and fame, that only a few can handle. Even for Hollywood megastars like Brad Pitt, the profession of entertainment becomes a little too much, once in a while.
Having a fair share of torturous productions, training routines, and filming schedules, Brad Pitt also enjoys magnanimous popularity. But more often than ever, the actor finds it difficult to achieve fruitful results for his dedication. At times, Pitt claimed he hated his projects and even had a miserable time, like he had while filming his 1994 movie.
Brad Pitt Played The Role of Vampire in His 1994 Movie
Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt, who is known for his myriad of acclaimed movies and accolades, initially rose to fame through less renowned roles. Often known for his groundbreaking appearance in Moneyball (2011), the actor cemented his status as a multi-layered actor with A River Runs Through It (1992).
But while most people are aware of his renowned roles, one might miss out on his lesser-known 1994 movie, Interview with the Vampire. Neil Jordan’s gothic horror based on Anne Rise’s 1976 novel by the same name, featured Brad Pitt as a vampire alongside Tom Cruise.
The movie tells the story of a Spanish lord Louis (Brad Pitt), who is turned into a vampire after the death of his wife and daughter, by Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise). The movie later unravels how Lestat converts a plague-ridden girl (Kirsten Dunst) to keep Louis by his side.
Brad Pitt Hated His Film And Had a Miserable Time on Set
Brad Pitt’s 1994 film Interview with the Vampire, is one of his rather unknown movies that even the actor hates discussing. Apparently, while filming the gothic horror, Pitt had a miserable time in London. Speaking with EW, the actor elaborated on his experience and discussed how it was torture for him.
“I am miserable. Six months in the f*cking dark… We get to London, and London was f*cking dark. London was dead of winter. We’re shooting in Pinewood, which is an old institution…There’s no windows in there. It hasn’t been refabbed in decades.”
Almost having a nervous breakdown while filming the movie, Brad Pitt mentioned how it was completely dark and chilly cold in London. Having trouble adjusting to the new place for business purposes, Pitt recalled having a miserable time.
“You leave for work in the dark — you go into this cauldron, this mausoleum — and then you come out, and it’s dark. I’m telling you, one day it broke me.”
Admitting how he had a breakdown Brad Pitt mentioned missing the warmer climes of California. The sun and the heat were something that he couldn’t get over while freezing in the dark winters in London.
