``Twelve Monkeys'' Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt threw themselves into Gilliam's world for a cheap price.

From “the sexiest man” to a high-spirited man with his butt exposed

Brad Pitt, on the other hand, was named ``Sexiest Man Alive'' by ``People'' magazine during this period, and starred in ` `A River Runs Through It '' (1992), `` Legends of the Fall '' (1994), and `` Interview. ''・With the Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles '' (1994), hit works that established the so-called ``Brapids image'' continued smoothly.

As a wise man, he decided to appear in Seven (1995), a decisive blow in his career, at a time when he would have been flooded with similar offers. I want to work with you!'', he sent a love call.

He originally wanted to play the lead role of Cole, which Willis had played, but Gilliam said, "The role of Cole needs to be played by an older actor," and instead offered him the role of the eccentric Jeffrey. Brad Pitt quickly changed his mind and accepted the role. Thus began his challenge to take on a more high-tension role than ever before.

To play the polar opposite of this character, Brad Pitt, who is known for being quiet in real life, worked with a voice coach to train his tongue and lips to get the unique accent Gilliam wanted.

But problems also arose. Gilliam, who was skeptical that Brad Pitt could really pull off this performance, instructed him to record his progress on tape and send it to him from time to time, but Brad Pitt ignored this request. During that time, time passed without them being able to communicate with each other, and Gilliam said that blood rushed to his head with anxiety and anger. Rather, it seems to come from frustration and anxiety.)

In fact, this training period also coincided with the time Brad Pitt was filming ``Seven'' (no wonder he couldn't send tapes). On the one hand, he threw himself into the role of the main character of a traumatic suspense story while sacrificing his soul, and on the other hand, he was also receiving special training in the art of eloquence in order to become the strangest and most excited man in the world.

Brad Pitt appeared on set just as filming for ``Twelve Monkeys'' was about to begin, and despite Gilliam's concerns, he played the role of Jeffrey perfectly. From there, Gilliam began to have great trust in him, giving the young star great confidence as an actor and teaching him the joy of proposing ideas on his own. As a result, he aggressively cuts his hair in irregular shapes, shows his butt in high tension for acting, and boldly presents ideas that are tens of thousands of light years away from ``the sexiest man alive.'' It is said that he began to do so.

As a result, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for this performance. It also became the first film to be nominated for an Academy Award. Through Gilliam's boot camp, Brad Pitt was also able to rapidly grow into a unique actor unlike anything he had seen before.
