Aaron Taylor-Johnson couldn’t help but gush over working with Brad Pitt on the new film Bullet Train — and he’s trying to avoid on the actor’s “s–t list.” “He is in a new phase of his life, I think,” the U.K. native, 32, said of Pitt, 58, during the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland earlier this month, per Variety.
Taylor-Johnson went on to praise the Oscar winner for being “humble and gracious” to fellow cast members during the filming of the action comedy, which also stars Sandra Bullock, Joey King, and Brian Tyree Henry.
“He just wants to bring light and pleasure into the world and be with people who are there to have a good time,” the Nowhere Boy actor continued. “You work with many actors and after a while, you start making notes: ‘I am absolutely not working with this person ever again.’ Brad has this list too: the ‘good’ list and the ‘s–t’ list.”

Bullet Train was directed by Pitt’s longtime stunt double David Leitch and boasts a star-studded roster of performers — and Taylor-Johnson isn’t the only one who loved learning from the Fight Club actor. During an interview with Comic Book before of the movie’s premiere, Henry, 40, pondered going off against Pitt in the hilarious comedy.
“It’s extremely — let me tell you, something incredibly distracting [is] Brad Pitt’s hair,” the Atlanta star said. “It’s incredibly annoying. Like, the very final part of the movie where we’re in the train car together and, you know, Aaron’s character has smashed through the glass, we’re supposed to be going, like, 200-something miles an hour and there’s this wind fan that’s just perfectly placed for Brad Pitt and so I would literally forget some of my cues because I’m so busy lost in this wheat blond, beautiful hair.”

The Emmy nominee said, “He’s so good at hair control that, like, he knew just when to whip it, and it just made me want to hit him in the face more.” Pitt, for his part, told Complex that it was “a joy” to work with such a diverse bunch of actors who were ready for a challenge.
“I’m going sincere on this one,” he hinted during a joint interview with Henry and the Kick-Ass star. “I mean, I have a lot of respect for everyone who signed on for this. Aaron was one of the first. We saw his tape and we said, ‘Oh, we’re up and running. We got this. This thing is going to work.’ I don’t know, there was just so much levity. It was just so nice to be around people.… Everyone held their own.”

Additionally, the Golden Globe-winning actor has become a media sensation due to his continuing court fights with ex-girlfriend Angelina Jolie. Despite being granted legal single status in 2019, the ex-couple is still embroiled in a bitter custody fight, two years after they divorced. They have five children together: Maddox (age 20), Pax (age 18), Zahara (age 17,) Shiloh (age 16), Knox (age 14), and Vivienne (age 14).
The Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-stars also disagree over who owns their winery, Château Miraval. Pitt is doing his best to be optimistic in the midst of the public back and forth, and he is moving on to his next chapter.
A source told Us Weekly earlier this month, “He’s going out on dates and having fun.” “He is surrounding himself with a small group of trusted friends and family, and he tries to take breaks whenever possible. … Brad keeps his dating life very private between himself and whoever he’s dating, especially if it’s casual. But when it’s serious those closest to him will know.” Stay tuned with us only on Lee Daily
