Brad Pitt reveals ONLY two women have left him starstruck (and it wasn't Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie)
Brad Pitt revealed that only two women have ever left him starstruck. While appearing on Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the F1 actor, 61, divulged the names of the two actresses that truly took his breath away. 'When I first met Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, I was. Yeah,' the two-time Oscar winner admitted of feeling initially starstruck around his former Thelma & Louise costars. He continued: 'I got over it quickly, though.' Pitt's role in the 1991 film, Thelma & Louise, propelled him to stardom as the charming and charismatic hitchhiker, J.D., who sleeps with Thelma (Davis), before stealing her money and vanishing. Previously, the father-of-six praised Davis for being 'so sweet and kind and delicate' during their sex scene during an interview with W Magazine in 2023. 'That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me,' he told the publication. Despite still establishing his name in Hollywood, at the time, Sarandon said the then-rising star 'really impressed' her with 'his sense of humor' in addition to 'his good looks and great body.' 'I thought, "Ah, this guy's interesting, you know, he's not just a really gorgeous face,"' she told Extra in 2021. The Dead Man Walking went on to note that Pitt has 'continued to push the envelope' throughout his career. During his interview with the Kelce brothers, Pitt shared his love for Travis' team, the Kansas City Chiefs. This prompted Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis, 35, to apologize for their Super Bowl loss. 'We got you this year. I let you down,' the tight end told the actor. Pitt replied that hardships were 'what makes sports movies so special.' 'That's what I mean about life. Life throws struggles your way. Sometimes everything goes quiet, it's perfection, it's sublime. Other periods, life throws these struggles at you and it's how you deal with those and how you come back from those,' Pitt explained. On the same episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis confessed to his brother and listeners that he was too starstruck to 'figure out how to ask questions.' Although Pitt refrained from going into any specifics about his personal life, the star recently opened up about needing to 'wake the f**k up' and getting sober while appearing on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, last week. During their chat, Pitt spoke about attending AA meetings and 'trying anything and everything' to turn his life around following his split from Jolie, 50. ''It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting,' he shared. While attending AA, Pitt said he felt nervous about speaking and was inspired by 'everyone [being] so open' about their experiences. 'It gives you permission to go, "OK, I'm gonna step out on this edge and see what happens,"' he explained. 'And then I really grew to love it.' Pitt went on to praise Shepard, who was sober for 16 years before relapsing in 2020, for always being 'so f**king honest.' 'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences with their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humor with it,' Pitt said. As someone born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, the actor explained he was raised around men that always insisted 'everything is great' and didn't complain.

And while Pitt was an up-and-comer at the time of his appearance in the film, he also left his mark on the film's stars. "When I saw the film, the part that really impressed me, in addition to his good looks and great body, was his sense of humor because he really fleshed that part out in a way that wasn't necessarily in the script," Sarandon told Extra in 2021. "I thought, 'Ah, this guy's interesting, you know, he's not just a really gorgeous face.' ' "He took it as a character part and as we can see from his career, he really continued to push the envelope in ways that he really didn't have to when you look like that," she added. Davis was similarly wowed by Pitt's performance in the film, opening up to PEOPLE in 2020 for the iconic movie's 30th anniversary. "He just has 'it.' I could tell when he was auditioning that he was super talented," she told PEOPLE after the actor snagged his first Oscar. "He has done so many incredible things over the years. I don't think that it is unusual for him to be honored. He really is the 'star' of the moment, which is fabulous, and it is just great to see." The Oscar-winning film has long been heralded as a feminist classic as it showed the two women taking ownership of their lives. "Thelma & Louise changed my life. Really, it sent me in a different direction," Davis said in a 2024 panel alongside Sarandon and Mira Sorvino — moderated by PEOPLE. 'After that movie came out, it was completely different in that people wanted to talk to me about it and how many times they saw it or who they saw it with and how it impacted them.'
