Brad Pitt -Billy Crudup – ‘Almost Famous’
The semi-autobiographical film by Cameron Crowe starred Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson, Frances, McDormand, and Patrick Fugit. It pocketed many awards and nominations and garnered critical acclamation.
Billy Crudup was cast as Russell Hammond, a character that first went to none other than Brad Pitt. Crowe had a feeling that Pitt was right for the role of the rock star. Then, what made Pitt drop out? According to sources, Pitt probably had creative differences with Crowe and he eventually decided to opt out.
After his exit, Billy came in and no one can forget his performance, especially in the iconic ‘golden god’ scene. There isn’t an inch of doubt that Billy did well. But we never know how things would have been if Pitt played this role.
