Pitt’s Ladybug in upcoming Bullet Train is the ‘most fun’ role of his career

Hollywood star Brad Pitt says he found the “most fun” role of his career in Ladybug, “a chump” of an assassin, in the upcoming action film, Bullet Train.

The Oscar-winning actor headlines the Sony project directed by Deadpool 2 filmmaker David Leitch, who previously served as Pitt’s stunt double in many movies such as Fight Club and Troy.

Pitt said Bullet Train came to him at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic and felt like a breath of fresh air.

“When this script came along, it was like five- six months into the pandemic. There was this air of depression, we were all getting a little crazy and this film was a really funny piece,” he added.

“Also concurrently, it was with an old friend of mine David Leitch. We had an actor-stuntman relationship. He was my stunt double for Fight Club, Mexican, Troy and Mr and Mrs Smith. So it was really to come back around a full circle. But this time Leitch, my man, was the boss,” Pitt said during a virtual global press conference of the film.
