Brad Pitt opens up on ‘gay experience'
In a wide-ranging interview with fellow actor Dax Shepard, on his Armchair Expert podcast, the F1 star explained he believes he "missed the window" to be with a man. 'You know, I've never had a gay experience. I kind of missed that window.' Brad 61, who is currently dating Ines de Ramon, 32, jokingly added that Dax would not be his first choice for a same-sex partner. 'But if I did, it wouldn't be you'. Elsewhere in the interview, Brad reflected on growing up in 1980s Missouri, explaining the messaging and comments he received about masculinity were strongly homophobic.

Brad PItt confirms return as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character Cliff Booth - but Quentin Tarantino will not be directing
Brad Pitt has confirmed he will be reprising his role as Cliff Booth from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in a new film for Netflix. The 61-year-old actor starred as Cliff, who is the stuntman for Leonardo DiCaprio's alter ego, faded Western star Rick Dalton, in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 comedy-drama which is set in Los Angeles in 1969 as the Manson Family murders loom. Pitt will be back as Booth for the new movie which has been written by Tarantino but will be directed by Zodiac filmmaker David Fincher. Speaking to Deadline at the premiere for his latest movie, F1, Pitt said: "This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. It's an episode, not really a sequel, of the character from Once Upon a Time. "He didn't want to direct it at this point, so our friend David Fincher stepped in. We're gonna start in July, it's gonna be really fun.' The Adventures of Cliff Booth will have a reputed $200 million budget, making it one of the most expensive streaming original movies ever made. As well as Pitt, new cast members include Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Tarantino, 62, will earn $20 million for writing the script, which is believed to be based on his The Movie Critic script — a project he once teased as being his final film before he shelved it. The project is the first official sequel to one of Tarantino's original movies. The movie also sees a reunion between Pitt and Fincher, 62, who previously collaborated on acclaimed films Se7en, Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Brad Pitt 'misses the window' to have a 'gay experience'
Brad Pitt has "missed the window" to have a "gay experience". The 61-year-old actor - who is currently dating 32-year-old jewellery executive Ines de Ramon - believes his chance to spend some intimate time with another man is long gone. Speaking on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, he said: "You know, I've never had a gay experience. "I kind of missed that window." However, if Brad does ever indulge in a homosexual experience, the star joked he's unlikely to pick podcast host Dax. Brad quipped: "But if I did, it wouldn't be you." The Bullet Train actor has been married twice before, but both ended in divorce. He wed actress Angelina Jolie in 2014, but they split in 2019 and their divorce was finalised in 2024. Brad was also married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005. In 2018, Gus Van Sant, who had been due to direct Brokeback Mountain, which starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as two homosexual cowboys, revealed Brad, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Ryan Phillippe all rejected the chance to appear in the motion picture. Speaking to Indiewire, he said: "Nobody wanted to do it. I was working on it, and I felt like we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast. "That wasn't working out. I asked the usual suspects: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe. They all said no. "What I could have done, and what I probably should have done, was cast more unknowns, not worried about who were the lead actors. "I was not ready. I'm not sure why. There was just sort of a hiccup on my part. There was something off with myself, I guess, whatever was going on." The movie - which was eventually helmed by Ang Lee - broke barriers for casting heterosexual actors Gyllenhaal and Ledger as the two main characters, Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar.

Justin Baldoni drops plans for amended claims against Blake Lively
He will not be proceeding with refiling claims in his countersuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds amid their It Ends with Us legal feud. Two weeks after Judge Lewis J Liman granted motions to dismiss the $400 million (£294 million) countersuit Baldoni originally filed against Lively and husband, the actor-director's lawyer Bryan Freedman announced they were not submitting any amendments. The judge had noted that Baldoni could still amend his claims for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract.
