Brian Cox on working with Brad Pitt on “Troy”: “I’m straight, but what a beautiful man”

“I’ve never looked for anything,” Cox said. “I have always allowed the roles to appear the way they appear. I knew the role was available and I knew I was perfect for the role. I offered to fly to London to meet Wolfgang Petersen. He was a great cast.”

Getting the role meant being able to see Brad Pitt on set with his own eyes, which is a sight that left Cox stunned. As the actor recalled, “I remember at one point I was excited about Brad. I’ve never worn a costume like this… Brad walked onto the set and my jaw dropped because he was so incredibly beautiful. I’m straight but I thought, ‘Wow, my God! This guy is awesome. What chance does one have on screen against this beautiful, beautiful man?

“Troy” it grossed just under $500 million at the worldwide box office and was nominated for an Academy Award in the costume design category. Cox and Pitt starred alongside a cast that included Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Brendan Gleeson, Peter O’Toole, and Stephen Buttigieg.
