Brad Pitt Had to Spend Sleepless Nights for His Snatch Role

Although the actor thought that he could master the accent before the shoot, it did not turn out as he expected. It was only after he consulted with his close friend, that he was able to crack the code for his Snatch accent.
“I play this Irish gypsy, and the dialect is unintelligible, contrary to being trained to be clear and understood. And so, I was working on the accent and trying to be clear and understood, and it wasn’t working. I went to him the day before and I said, ‘Guy, I’m gonna f**k up your movie.”
“My friend kept saying, ‘You can’t understand it.’ Literally, at midnight, that clicked in, and I called and woke Guy up and I said, ‘Are you okay if you can’t understand your beautifully written dialogue?’ And he said, ‘Yep.'”
Snatch, the crime comedy film directed by Guy Ritchie, was a critical and commercial success and it was Ritchie’s second feature film, following Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The film starring Jason Statham, Brad Pitt, and many others grossed over $83.5 million at the worldwide box offices against a budget of $10 million.
