Brad Pitt cracks a rare smile on the set of his Cliff Booth movie following the passing of his mother

by

On Tuesday, Brad Pitt returned to work at the film set where he’s currently working, about two weeks following the passing of his mother.

61-year-old actor is currently involved in the production of David Fincher’s movie titled “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” which serves as a follow-up to the Academy Award-winning film “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood” on Netflix.

The multi-talented individual donned a costume from the ’70s, sporting a brown suede jacket, gray denim pants, and a necklace adorned with white Pooka shells.

During his promotion of F!: The Movie this past summer, the actor seemed to be donning a blond wig, sporting a clean-shaven face with just a mustache visible.

On the given day, it seemed the filming was happening in a publicly accessible area, with security personnel visibly putting in extra effort to ensure spectators remained at a safe distance from the celeb.

The actor maintained his usual level of professionalism, even amidst the personal tragedy, according to the report from People.

Pitt didn’t speak publicly about his mother’s death at the age of 84, which occurred on August 5th, yet he was reminiscing about her while promoting Formula One on Today in June.

‘I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning,’ he told the hosts.

He then blew a kiss following it with ‘To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom.’

In the film “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” Pitt will once again play the character of Cliff Booth, the trusted stunt double for the popular television actor Rick Dalton, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio.

On the IMDb page for the show, Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t credited as a cast member. Instead, it’s suggested that Cliff Booth’s past will be further explored in his new role as a Hollywood troubleshooter, as outlined by the plot description.

It appears that Timothy Olyphant may have secured a role in the upcoming project, hinting at it during an interview on Conan O’Brien’s podcast on August 7th. However, he has not yet officially confirmed or denied being hired for the part.

‘I’m hoping I’m in it,’ the Justified star said, adding, ‘You never know. It only is what it is.’ 

Quentin Tarantino, the 62-year-old filmmaker who was nominated for an Oscar for his direction and screenplay in the 2019 drama about show business, won’t be taking on the role of director for this particular production.

In a recent interview on the Church of Tarantino podcast, Quentin Tarantino shared that while he penned the script, he handed over directing responsibilities to his friend, the esteemed filmmaker David Fincher who is 62 years old. When discussing their directorial talents, Tarantino expressed a belief that he and David Fincher are among the top two in the field.

To put it simply, David Fincher’s desire to adapt your work indicates a high level of commitment and respect for your creativity, which I believe is crucial to consider.

Quentin Tarantino opted against directing this movie since he had decided that his upcoming film would serve as his final work, and he didn’t wish for this project to be mistakenly regarded as his farewell production.

He shared that the recent film left him feeling somewhat disinterested. It seemed as though he had lost his bearings, finding himself in unfamiliar waters once more.
