Brad Pitt, Robert Downey, Jr and Keanu Reeves are a few of the most famous faces in Hollywood, who have a massive fan following all across the globe. While they never worked together on a single screen, there have been many roles which were passed on from one actor to another. However, there was one particular role for which all three of them auditioned and failed to get the role. To everyone’s surprise, the role went to William Baldwin.
While it may sound shocking for the current generation, back in 1991, all three of them auditioned for a role in the action thriller film directed by Ron Howard titled, Backdraft. The movie also featured Kurt Russel supporting the lead actor.
An audition clip of Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Robert Downey, Jr and Keanu Reeves has been circulating where they are seen reading lines for the role in the movie, Backfire. As the Iron Man actor is seen giving a goofy, smirking energy for the audition, it is seen that he has given tough competition from fellow competitors.
