Quentin Tarantino: ‘Brad Pitt became his Inglourious Basterds character off-screen’
Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino said Brad Pitt became his character off-screen while preparing for the movie.
Tarantino, 46, directed the new movie starring Pitt, 45, as Lieutenant Aldo, a Jewish-American soldier.
Tarantino said: “He [Brad] has such a strong character in Lieutenant Aldo. More than anybody else, he would stay in character throughout the day. Not in some weird kind of way. Once he’d get Aldo, he didn’t let him go. It wasn’t about having him and putting him down and picking him up once the camera started rolling. If I wanted to hear from Brad, I had to talk to him early in the day in his trailer.
“Once he showed up on set, he was Aldo. One of the wonderful things about that was that I really got to know my character. I could ask Aldo about a cup of coffee and he’d make a little joke. It was an Aldo joke.”
