More about Geena Davis and Brad Pitt's alleged relationship, as actor talks about being starstruck by her presence
According to The Mirror, actress Geena Davis and Brad Pitt were allegedly in an on-and-off relationship while shooting for their movie, Thelma & Louise. In a 2023 interview with W Magazine, Brad Pitt, who although never revealed having a relationship with Geena Davis, did talk about how much the Emmy-nominated actress took care of him during their short filming scene. He said:
"Geena [Davis] was so sweet and kind and delicate. That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me."
According to The Mirror, Davis was already a well-established actress in Hollywood with films like Tootsie, The Fly, Beetlejuice, The Accidental Tourist, and others under her belt. On the other hand, Brad Pitt was a newcomer to the industry, and his role as the drifter J.D. in Thelma & Louise is often considered his breakout role.
The alleged details about their relationship were revealed by actor Jason Priestly, who was Brad Pitt's roommate in the 1990s, before both of them achieved fame. In his memoir, titled Jason Priestly: A Memoir, published on 6 May 2014, Priestly talked about Brad Pitt visiting the Golden Globe-nominated actress at her West Hollywood home, as she refused to visit him in his shared apartment space.
Previously, during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Geena Davis had praised Brad Pitt for his performance as J.D., adding how impactful his audition was. She said:
"Each of them was very handsome. They all had brown hair and were very talented. I didn't care who it was going to be. Then the fourth one who comes in [and it's] Brad Pitt. He's so charismatic and so incredibly talented that I was like screwing up his audition."
According to Fox News, Davis had allegedly dated Brad Pitt following her separation from husband, actor Jeff Goldblum, in 1991, after being married to him for four years.
