Courtney Love Clarifies Comments About Brad Pitt Getting Her Fired From Fight Club

A few days ago, Courtney Love was a guest on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, and their conversation was an absolutely wild ride. Love said a lot of things during that interview, and one of them was a story about losing a role in Fight Club to Helena Bonham Carter. On the podcast, Love said that she was all set for Fight Club — she even says that she might’ve introduced David Fincher to the original Chuck Palahniuk novel — but that she lost the role after an explosive argument with Fight Club star Brad Pitt. Pitt had apparently wanted to play Love’s late husband Kurt Cobain in a Gus Van Sant biopic — a different project from the Cobain-inspired Last Days, which Van Sant made later — and Love wouldn’t let it happen.
