Are Courtney Love and Brad Pitt mortal enemies? That’s what she seems to think!
In the latest episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast out on Monday, the singer claimed the Once Upon a Time In Hollywood star had her fired from Fight Club after she refused his request to make a Kurt Cobain movie! Yeesh!
According to the Hole frontwoman, she was originally cast as Marla in Fight Club, opposite her then-boyfriend Edward Norton. Around that time, she got a call from director Gus Van Sant and Brad who wanted to make a movie about her late husband. (FYI, this wasn’t Last Days, the biopic-lite that Van Sant eventually made which was loosely based on the Nirvana frontman.)

At the time, the 58-year-old actress wasn’t thrilled with the idea and said she “went nuclear” on them — a decision she now regrets. As a result of the phone call, she claims Fight Club director David Fincher FIRED HER! Why? She argued:
Damn! He had her axed?! She must have pissed him off! The role ended up going to Helena Bonham Carter, FYI. If this is true, it probably did a lot to derail Courtney’s acting career, which was going really well after The People vs Larry Flynt.
Innerestingly, despite this explosive encounter with Brad back in the day, she says that wasn’t their last interaction. Courtney says he tried his hand again two decades later, claiming his production team, Plan B Entertainment, actually reached out to her again in 2020 about wanting to produce a Cobain biopic. She rejected him again. She didn’t hold back this time either, telling the actor:
Oof.
