Geena Davis on who's hotter: Pitt vs. Clooney


We think it's a toss-up.

But for Geena Davis, it was Brad Pitt that caught her eye. Because in case you didn't know it, both Pitt AND George Clooney auditioned for Thelma and Louise. Pitt got the part, of course, thanks to his cute, cute face (OK, and fine acting chops, we're sure).

“There were five guys reading and the four before were great, wonderful, and then Brad came in and I was awestruck, it's embarrassing to say… because he was so cute!” Davis tellsAccess Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. “I was like, 'get the blonde guy!’”

“I was sitting on a plane next to George Clooney a couple of years ago, and all the flight attendants are like, 'Guess who you’re sitting next to?’ I’m like, ‘Guess who he is sitting next to!’”

“So he says ‘you know, I'm still mad at Brad Pitt.’ I said, ‘Why? I thought he was your great friend.’ He said, ‘Well, he got the part in “Thelma and Louise.”’ I said, ‘Did you want to be that part?’ ‘Well, yeah, remember my audition?’

Umm, no she did NOT! “He was one of the other guys that read with me!” says Davis. Bush and Hoover informed her that Clooney has admitted to auditioning for the role FIVE times.

But apparently, he had nothing on Pitt!
