Despite having worked together happily in the past, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are now direct competitors in Hollywood.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are both famous names in Hollywood. They are both A-list actors, always sought out by talented directors when they have new projects.

Not only that, both of them also own their own film production company, producing many outstanding works in recent years. They co-starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood project in 2019, which was a box office success with a revenue of 371 million USD (more than 9,400 billion VND) worldwide.

The film received many compliments for its acting, direction and nostalgic re-enactment of the golden age of Hollywood. Leonardo was assigned the lead role. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt won an Oscar for his performance as stuntman Cliff Booth in the film.

However, according to Intouch Weekly, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are also fierce competitors in the film industry, often targeting the same roles and directors, leading to conflicts.

“They have no intention of working together again. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was pretty much their only collaboration. After that, they have become fierce competitors. They are targeting the same scripts and directors and often step on each other’s toes. Furthermore, both of their own companies are also competitors. But Brad’s Plan B is currently attracting much larger investment funds that Leo’s Appian Way has not been able to reach,” the source said.

After a happy collaboration, the two continued to become rivals and the conflict increased as they continuously stepped on each other’s toes in many projects.

Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment was founded in 2001. It has received acclaim for award-winning projects such as 12 Years a Slave, Moonlight, Minari and The Big Short. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, meanwhile, was founded in 2004 and focuses on films that reflect social and environmental issues.

The company has mainly worked on projects starring and financed by Leo, such as The Revenant, The Wolf of Wall Street and Shutter Island.

According to insiders, Brad Pitt currently has an advantage thanks to his good relationship with famous filmmakers. “Leo can appear in any Martin Scorsese project, but he is old and does not have many projects ahead. Meanwhile, Quentin Tarantino clearly prefers working with Brad Pitt.

There is a special harmony between them. Moreover, Brad Pitt also has a very good relationship with David Fincher,” Intouch Weekly added. Currently, Brad and Leo have not responded to the allegations of this conflict.
