With the Oscars just a week away, Brad Pitt’s former co-star Geena Davis is all praises for him. The actress was at the Casting Society of America’s Artios Awards at the Beverly Hilton. Speaking to HollywoodLife exclusively, she said: “I wish him all the best. I’m so thrilled with all the attention that he’s getting and I adore that movie and him in it. He’s just a great guy.”
The Oscars might be a big night for Brad with his nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category for his acclaimed role in Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood. Brad and Geena acted together in the Ridley Scott direction, which released nearly 30 years ago. In the film, Geena’s character Thelma falls for J.D., Brad’s first major movie role. “I got to tell you when he was just auditioning I was so impressed. He had so much star quality and so much charisma it was incredible,” Geena continued. “Seeing it on a big screen you remember how cinematic it is. It’s so beautiful, the skies and the scenery really made the story epic in that sense,” she concluded.
The two kept in touch over the years and meet every award season. “I saw him about a week ago at a party. It was so great. I’ve run into him here and there at events and things,” Geena said.
Brad already won several awards for Once Upon A Time, including the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.
