“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt”said Love, adding that he told Pitt: “I don’t know if I trust you and I don’t know if your movies are for profit. They’re great social justice movies, but… if you don’t understand me, you don’t understand Kurt, and I’m sorry you don’t, Brad.”
It was after rejecting Pitt’s Cobain movie that Love was fired from The fight Club, said. According to Love, Norton broke the news to him. The two were a couple at the time. “Start sobbing,” Love told Maron. “And he was like, ‘I don’t have the power!'”
A source close to the film confirmed to the portal Variety that Love auditioned for the role, but said she was not offered the role. “You can’t get fired for a job you didn’t get”the source added. “It is well known that the roles are not decided by other actors but by the director.”
Fincher reportedly called Love afterwards to confirm that she was not in the movie. Bonham Carter took over the role in the film, which originally flopped at the box office but has since become a staple in Fincher’s filmography.
