Brad Pitt has been turned down by his prospective co-star Jodie Comer.
In its Dec. 21 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Pitt wanted to work with Comer so badly in the Bullet Train.
However, the Emmy winner turned Pitt down because she didn’t think that the role was the right fit for her career.
A source claimed that Comer wants to follow in the footsteps of Helen Mirren and not Margot Robbie when it comes to her career.
And Comer prefers to star in another TV series or a small film in the United Kingdom than to appear in a blockbuster project.
The tabloid, who couldn’t provide a reputable source for their claim, admitted that Pitt and Comer didn’t confirm their allegations.
And it’s unlikely that the actors ever will because the casting for Bullet Train is officially complete.
Last month, Collider confirmed that Lady Gaga has signed to appear in the movie. The singer will be working closely with an ensemble of great actors including Joey King, Zazie Beetz, Masi Oka, Andrew Koji, and more.
Bullet Train is based on Kotaro Isaka’s Japanese novel, Marie Beetle. And the story revolves around a group of assassins whose paths will cross while embarking on different missions while onboard a train in Tokyo.
As of late, Gaga’s role hasn’t been confirmed. But last week, the “Poker Face” singer made headlines after National Enquirer claimed that she and Pitt are interested in dating each other.
A source told the tabloid last week that Gaga and Pitt are looking forward to getting to know each other when they’re in Tokyo.
And the A-listers also want to see if their onscreen chemistry will also be there in real life.
The insider also said that Pitt is thrilled to be traveling to Japan with the singer because he can’t wait to get away from his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
Pitt is, allegedly, stressed with his ongoing custody battle with the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil star.
However, Gossip Cop debunked the tabloid’s claim by saying that Pitt and Gaga are not interested in each other romantically.
The publication also claimed to have spoken to a rep for Pitt and Gaga and was told that the two don’t have any romantic link to each other.
Gaga is in a relationship with Michael Polansky. Pitt, on the other hand, just split from his much younger ex-girlfriend, Nicole Poturalski two months ago.
