Quentin Tarantino has revealed how he landed Brad Pitt for his new movie – six bottles of wine and a suspicious "smoking apparatus".
The legendary director says he already had a hunch that he and Pitt would get on great.
But, as a way of making him sign on to star in edgy Nazi-hunting movie Inglorious Basterds, Tarantino admits he got Brad drunk, with a "smoking apparatus" to add to the buzz.
"We kind of had an idea that we would like it," the Kill Bill director said. "Whether this love affair is going to happen, it has to be right. So I wrote this part and thought, ‘I think this is the one’. I flew to France to where he lives and had a big talk."
Told that rumour has it he got Brad drunk, the director stressed: "You have to understand something – Brad lives on a vineyard. I did not get him drunk – it’s his wine! We’re popping rose and we’re knocking it back … and then a smoking apparatus of some sort found its way on the table…
"Brad woke up the next morning and he’s like, ‘Ugggh’ – and he sees the smoking apparatus and starts counting the empty bottles of wine. There were six. That’s how you get the most sought-after guy on Planet Earth. You go to HIS vineyard and let him pop the cork."
