13. Geena Davis
Here we have one of many cases of Brad Pitt falling in love with the woman he kisses on screen. Geena Davis and Pitt reportedly dated for an entire year but they kept it a secret the entire time. Although their relationship can’t be 100% confirmed, Davis definitely had a thing for Pitt while filming Thelma and Louise, even stating that she often messed up her lines because of his good looks. Even more, while they actually hired a female body double for the now famous love scene, Davis wasn’t having any of that.
It was 1991’s Thelma and Louise that shot Pitt into international fame and established him as a sex symbol in what became a very famous scene in a very classic American movie. At some point during casting, Davis chimed in with “the blonde one!” when a conversation between directors came up about who to cast for the role. He even beat out Mr. George Clooney himself. Another fun fact? Pitt only earned a measly $6,000 for the role.
