Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling are two very well-known actors. These Hollywood stars have been in a number of high-budget films. However, now, it seems as though Pitt is going after Gosling. The two are allegedly in pursuit of the same role in an Ocean’s Eleven prequel. How serious will this little war get over this one role? Will Pitt back off and let a new face enter the franchise, or will he continue to fight to remain in control?
According to Radar Online, with a little boost from George Clooney, Brad Pitt is fighting hard to regain control over the Ocean’s series. The script for this new film was allegedly written to lure in Ryan Gosling and his Barbie co-star, Margot Robbie. It seems they were to be the new faces of the series. It seems as though Ryan is actively picking up roles that were offered to Brad first. The source continues by saying that copycats have always been a big problem for Pitt in his career. However, it may just be that he is “insecure about his stardom.”
Brad Pitt Seems Furious With Ryan Gosling for Trying To Steal His Roles
When another actor picks up the roles that were offered to Brad, “that gets his attention.” It really gets him going if it happens multiple times. Pitt may be thinking that he doesn’t have a lot of movies left in him as he is already 60 years old. However, Brad may also be upset that another star is getting to the cash cow that is Ocean’s Eleven. Especially if it is someone that Brad somewhat respects, like Gosling. Pitt was a very vocal cheerleader for the Barbie movie. Now, with these latest developments, Brad seems to be “sharpening knives.”
Brad Pitt has been the center of a lot of drama lately. It is no secret that he and his family are on horrible terms. Pitt’s kids want nothing to do with their father. After his divorce from Angelina Jolie, she took their children and is now their primary caregiver. Brad still has visitation with the younger ones. However, his older kids have even gone as far as to drop his last name. This battle with Ryan Gosling, on top of all of that, may just be the final straw.
If Brad Pitt does not land this role in the Ocean’s Eleven prequel, there is no telling what is next for the famous actor. Ryan Gosling seems to be the correct choice to take over things in the franchise. Gosling is a top talent and is almost 20 years younger than Brad. However, nothing is set in stone. It will be an interesting race to the finish.
