Courtney Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, who was the lead singer of Nirvana, spoke on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast about how she was fired from the movie Fight Club, when she denied Brad Pitt the chance to do a biopic about her late husband.
After the strong statements, he also wrote a message on his Instagram, where he made his position on this situation clear, since he stressed that he does not like the way the Bullet Train actor does business or exercises his power; and he assured that it was not that he was complaining about the paper that he lost.
Podcasts with celebrities have become a showcase where stars feel more confident and end up talking about things they may not have planned to say; but the singer and guitarist of the band Hole, not only made controversial statements with Marc Maron, but she also used her Instagram to add fuel to the fire.
Hello. Regarding a story I told on the @marcmaron #wtf podcast. A story he was never going to tell. Brad pushed me too far. I don’t like the way he does business or wields his power. It’s a simple fact, and it started during the production of Fight Club.
I understand how much of a game of roulette is. I’m not here 22 years later complaining about losing a role playing someone’s supporting part in a movie. On the podcast, I recount the day Brad & Gus Van Sant called me from lunch and tried to blackmail me for my role, for the rights to a movie about Kurt. I turned them down, and by 7:00 pm I was fired from Fight Club. Every word of this is a fact. This was always a well-kept secret.
It is a movie. In fact, I broadcast better roles than that. Who cares? The point is, Brad kept stalking me about Kurt.
For now, the protagonist of Troy has not given any statement in this regard, despite the fact that Cobain’s widow has painted him as a stalker; Let’s hope that soon they can settle their differences, because we would all love to see a movie about the legendary Kurt Cobain, especially told with that vision of not disguising the truth, just as the producer also did with the biopic of Marilyn Monroe, Blonde.
