Brad Pitt Leonardo DiCaprio interview
by Freddenver: Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are talking about their early days where both nearly got kicked out of shows. Leo recalls being in a kid show when he was 5 and almost getting kicked off because he misbehaved. Brad says he worked as an extra for movies for almost two years, mentioning that they tried to get in line so they could get their sad card since you can't be an actor without a sad card at least at that time. He also says he was an extra in a Charlie Sheen movie and was a waiter there. Brad described the situation as no man's land and said he came up with the bottle he was supposed to pour champagne. He poured a young actress a glass of champagne and asked if she would like anything else before the director went cut.
