Although she was fired because she “wouldn’t let Brad play” Cobain in a separate film about the Nirvana front man.

He who died by suicide at age 27 in 1994. In the end, Helena Bonham Carter played the part.

Love said of her reaction to Pitt’s idea, “I went nuclear.” She said she told the actor, who is now 59, “Who the f—- do you think you are?”

Love said that Edward Norton, though he was her boyfriend at the time and co-directed Fight Club with Brad Pitt.

He told her that she would no longer be working with the two of them. “He starts sobbing. … And he said, “I’m not strong enough!” “she told me.

A person who worked on the movie told  that Love “auditioned for a role in Fight Club that was never given

” The source also says, “A job you didn’t get can’t fire you and We all know that the director, not the other actors, decides who plays what role.

meanwhile director said that” Reps for Love and director David Fincher didn’t respond right away when asked for comments.

Love confessed, “I still kick myself for not having the shark instinct.

‘” He said that Pitt has been working on a project about Kurt Cobain since 1996.

Even though there were problems with the casting, the Hole singer praised Bonham Carter, 56, calling her “a genius.” However, she said, “I’ve never seen that movie.”

Love further went on to say that she and Pitt talked about a possible Kurt Cobain project in 2020.

Fight Club, both the movie and Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 book, has been discussed and contested for its anarchy and capitalist themes.

Pitt was astonished because by the film’s reception. In 2020, he stated he remembers people “slowly getting up, no one chatting, and disappearing from the movie.”

In a podcast interview, he said, “I looked at Fincher and thought, “Oh my God, what did we do?” Why? Liked it.” He worked with Fincher on Seven (1995) and Button (1999). (2008).
