Brad Pitt is easily one of the biggest movie stars of all time. One of the most popular and iconic films from his career is the 1999 drama ‘Fight Club‘. Directed by David Fincher, it went on to achieve a cult following. However, there was a chance we could have seen Courtney Love in it.
In a recent interview, the talented singer said that she was fired from the film after she refused to let Pitt play the role of her late husband and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Let’s find out what Love said and what exactly happened between them.

Courtney Love Was Fired From ‘Fight Club’ Because Of Brad Pitt
Love is a popular singer, guitarist, songwriter, and actress. She has been a part of several films. One of them could have been the cult classic ‘Fight Club‘ if it didn’t involve Brad Pitt.
In an episode of ‘WTF With Marc Maron’, the singer said that she was officially cast to play the role of Marla which ultimately went to Helena Bonham Carter. The reason behind it is shocking.
Love claimed that she was fired from the film because she “went nuclear” on Pitt and director Gus Van Sant when they approached for a film on her late husband and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt,” she said, noting that she shut that project down. “I don’t know if I trust you and I don’t know that your movies are for profit. They’re really good social justice movies, but… ,” Love told Pitt. “If you don’t get me, you kind of don’t get Kurt, and I don’t feel like you do, Brad.”

In 2005, Van Sant made a film titled ‘Last Days‘ on the life of Cobain. Love maintains that this wasn’t the film they had discussed. She said that she will make a film about him someday.
“My friend Cameron Crowe [told me] Brad Pitt was put on this earth to stalk you for Kurt, which has been going on since ’96,” she said.
