Brad Pitt is a name that needs no introduction. He is one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood. But there was a time in the early years of his career when he felt like leaving a film. The film in question here is 1994’s Interview With the Vampire, which also featured Tom Cruise alongside Pitt. The film was directed by Neil Jordan. Keep scrolling to know why the actor was desperate to quit the film and what brought him around.

The American gothic horror did quite well at the box office and it was a treat for the audience to see young Brad and Tom together in a movie like that. The film was reportedly shot in New Orleans and London. Problems for Pitt started to emerge when the shoot shifted to London.

As per The Things, Brad Pitt recalled the problems he faced while shooting in London and it was not pleasant at all. He said, “But then we got to London, and London was dark. London was dead of winter. We’re shooting in Pinewood, which is an old institution — all the James Bond films. There’s no windows in there. It hasn’t been refabbed in decades. You leave for work in the dark — you go into this cauldron, this mausoleum — and then you come out and it’s dark.” Shooting in those conditions had an impact on the actor’s psyche, so much so that he even considered quitting the film.
