In 2009, Cate Blanchett discussed working with Brad Pitt on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a film directed by David Fincher in 2008. The movie follows the story of Benjamin (played by Brad Pitt), who ages in reverse. Born looking like an old man in his eighties, he gets younger as time goes on.
The film portrays a man's unique life, filled with deep connections, unconventional time travel, and the joys and challenges of his circumstances. It also features a captivating love story between Benjamin and Daisy Fuller (Blanchett).
In a candid interview with The Telegraph, Cate Blanchett shared an amusing and slightly sardonic insight into her experience working alongside Pitt. She revealed that the greatest challenge wasn't the long shooting hours, but rather Pitt's unmistakable adoration for his then-girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.
“Honestly, to see how in love with Angelina he is, it was really quite disgusting. Awful in fact. It’s in my contract now: I won’t ever work with him again,”
During the filming of the movie, several sources, via MoreMojo, reported that Pitt did not want to kiss Blanchett during the movie’s filming due to his loyalty to his wife.
