Here’s the Lowdown On the Hunkiest Man in Hollywood, Brad Pitt

Banned

People with global fame often seem like they have the world at their feet, but that is not always the case. Brad Pitt was, at one time at least, banned from entering China. Why was this? The Chinese government highly disapproved of his 1997 film “Seven Years in Tibet” because they believed it portrayed the People’s Republic of China in a negative light and the Dalai Lama in a positive light.

But, at last, after nearly twenty years, Pitt’s ban was lifted and he could enter China. He was even able to promote his 2016 film “Allied”, in the country.

Recasting Kidman

When most people think of actress Nicole Kidman, they probably assume that just about any actor would want to star alongside her. But not Brad Pitt. When it came time to film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, Kidman was in the running to star opposite Pitt but he felt that he had no on-screen chemistry with the actress and was not convinced to do the film.

However, things changed dramatically when Angelina Jolie was cast instead. No one in their right mind could say that the stars lacked chemistry. (Even without knowing that the two became a couple thanks to the movie.)
