Radar: Brad Pitt wants to work with Cara Delevingne & ‘take her under his wing’

wenn23206453

A few days ago, I finally got around to watching the UK trailer for The Suicide Squad. Unlike the first American trailer, the UK trailer put an emphasis on Enchantress, played by Cara Delevingne. While it’s clear that The Suicide Squad will be Margot Robbie’s major breakout, it will also be a test for Cara’s jump to acting. She hoped that her role in Paper Towns would catapult her to in-demand actress, but people are still rather “meh, whatever” about Actress Cara. So, we’ll see. In the meantime, Brad Pitt likes what he sees. Allegedly.

Brad Pitt has set his sights on a new leading lady in the form of budding actress Cara Delevingne, and RadarOnline.com has learned the father of six is desperately courting her for a role in one of his 40 upcoming movie projects for his film company Plan B. After having already accomplished so much at such a young age, 23-year-old Delevingne says she’s not doing fashion work anymore and turning to acting instead.

“Brad thinks Cara’s talents haven’t been explored properly and he wants to take her under his wing,” said an insider. “He’s hoping she might sign an ongoing deal with his company.”

In fact, Pitt, 52, has already offered Delevingne the lead in his World War Z sequel, but, noted the insider, the model-actress “can’t do it because of schedule conflicts.” Still, “Brad won’t give up” on scoring Delevingne as his “next big thing.”

“He’s opened his contacts book to her and given her numbers of the best acting teachers in Hollywood,” the insider told Radar. “He really thinks she’s got what it takes to win an Oscar one day.”

Hm… I could see Brad offering Cara a part in one of his movies, but I think the rest of it is crap. But it does have the whiff of believability, in that Brad does champion new talent. There were stories that he took Lupita Nyong’o under his wing and made calls to directors and producers on her behalf, and he’s reportedly done the same thing for other actors and directors too. But I just don’t believe that Brad took one look at Cara’s Angry Baby Face and thought “I need to make this young woman into a STAR!”

    whenever I see that last picture, I remember that scene from Mean Girl where Gretchen warned Cady to watch out for Amy Poehler’s boobs…. “They’re hard as rocks”

    • MC2 says:

      Awww….that’s harsh. She had reconstructive surgery after a double mastectomy. It’s not she went out to buy huge boobs. I’d take a wife with rock hard boobs over a dead wife any day.

    • Gina says:

      Whenever I see that picture I’m reminded of how beautiful Angelina’s face is, and how it smokes smokey eyed supermodels that are 17 years her junior.

      Pretty certain this is the main reason some women still love lashing out at Angelina and saying the worst of things. Bitterness is ugly.

      I’m also reminded every day how grateful I am that my mother raised me better than to ridicule other women who’ve had to make difficult medical choices and have life saving double mastectomies. It could be me, or you, our family members, as well as other women on this thread who’ve made these choices. So when you attack her, you’re attacking all women.

      I guess it’s the new Trump era of attacking women that spawns the worst of these comments, then again angry bitter resentful women have been mad for 11 years now. This comment is proof.

      Oh and breast implants and reconstructive surgeries don’t give you permanently ‘hard boobs,’ they’re firm at first, because the skin is taught but they soften. As has been mentioned, this was a Bustier, corseted dress style which probably provided support post surgery.

    • Lotta says:

      I’m just looking at Beyond Borders, and her tits where huge for her frame already before surgery.

      • ladysussex says:

        Yes, it looks like she went with the Lara Croft sized implants when she had her reconstruction.

  2. KB says:

    Cara has scheduling conflicts so she turned down a role in a guaranteed blockbuster? Highly unlikely. She is thirsty and wants to be taken seriously, she’d never turn a role like that down.

    • Lizzie McGuire says:

      Cara needs a guaranteed blockbuster, it could happen with Suicide Squad but the promos I’ve seen have been all about Margot’s Harley Quinn. Still she needs to follow it with another film or she’ll go back to oblivion. She can always go back to modeling if acting doesn’t work out.

    • Gina says:

      Yea, I call bullshi* on the whole claim. Maybe Cara has a PR Rep that is doing a little ‘extra.’

      Highly doubtful that out of all of the marginalized writers, directors, actors of color, etc that Brad has given a leg up to, and that maybe couldn’t have gotten n the door otherwise – that he’d decide to work really hard and go all out for a young white multi millionaire supermodel – one who according to this lame article has better things to do besides plan b films. Right. Yet the piece says despite the rejected part, Pitt is determined to make her a STAH and get her an Oscar. Because Brad is really all about the fame and Oscars. Please, Brad Pitt wouldn’t do that for his own kid, even if his kid was as shallow and superficial as this article makes him out to be. Doesn’t sound like him AT ALL.

  3. Locke Lamora says:

    She was awful in Paper Towns. For someone who photographs so well, she’s suprisingly bland on screen.
    He should champion somone who has talent but no rich parents to buy them a career.

    • Clairej says:

      Yes! I personally think she takes amazing still shots, totally understand her as a model – far more than the Kendalls and Gigi’s of this world. But on screen she totally loses that and is quite bland and doesn’t look half as interesting.

  4. AlmondJoy says:

    … But why?? She doesn’t seem to be a promising actress. Was he so moved by her role in Paper Towns that he just HAS to work with her? I’m not buying this one, Radar

    • KB says:

      I laughed out loud at the thought of him being moved by Paper Towns.

    • Lizzie McGuire says:

      There’s many other actors her age who have more potential than her, so I doubt Pitt is interested in her. What makes me wonder is why Cara’s management chose Pitt & not Clooney or any other producer, unless she wants a part in one of his movies. Lupita > Cara

      • Fa says:

        Because clooney never recruit new comers he always recruit his friends & well established actors compared plan B that always recruit Unknown actors & less established directors for their projects apart “the big short” where they recruited big names

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Agreed, Lizzie. Chloe Grace, the Fannings and many more

    • Kimbers says:

      Maybe he needs a youthful girl that’s trendy to get the youth viewers(who don’t find him cute bc he’s the same age as their dads) to buy movie tickets. I know I haven’t seen a Brad Pitt movie in a long long time.

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Kimbers, now this is a good point. I can see this being the case, especially if he’s trying to attract a younger audience. She has a pretty big following it seems.

      • Gina says:

        @kimbers

        World War Z, The Big Short, Money Ball, Inglorious Basterds, 12 Years a Slave, Tree of Life – I’ve seen them all, and I usually see whatever comes out from BP, as do critics, which is why he stays winning. You should check out his IMDB, whether as actor or producer it’s always quality.

        That said. Your theory makes no sense. Is Cara Delevegne ‘trendy? ‘ if he subscribed to that notion it seems like he’d be trying to make Kendall Jenner or Gigi Haddad or Mikey Cyrus a star before a model who was trending more 3 years ago, than she is today.

        If he wanted a ‘youthful girl that’s trendy,’ why not hire an IT girl actress, like Jen Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, Alicia Vikander or Brie Larson.

        But really, does that even sound like Brad Pitt?! Heck naw.

        Since when has he been about casting for box office? ..and even if he was, why hire a suoermodel that’s not that super these days, who flopped at the box office? If she has such a “big following” why isn’t she in more movies and why didn’t they show up at her last movie?

        This article and the commentary seem designed to slam someone subtly, I just don’t know who.

        This whole thing reads like the antithesis of Brad Pitt. It’s almost farcical. Lol

      • lisa2 says:

        @Gina.

        thank you for actually using LOGIC..

        If Brad was so interested in blockbusters he wouldn’t be making the film he has. And no he is not someone that makes a point of casting his movies. And yes this is all some subtle or not so subtle way for some people to take jabs at Brad. Based on nothing at all . This is the exact story that was written in affect about Selena Gomez.. so now they are substituting Cara for her.

  5. tracking says:

    One of his jobs as producer is to cultivate talent, so sure, but probably embellished as usual.

  6. doofus says:

    “angry baby face”…LMAO

    eh, I could see it. he does seem to try to help young talent, and while I have NO idea if she is or not, he’d be able to recognize it, I think.

  7. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    My husband would have his wing chopped off if I found Cara under it.

    • antipodean says:

      @GNAT, thanks for the chuckle, I needed it today. I thought to myself, “is that what they’re calling it these days?” Although why he would look twice at this entitled bowl of oatmeal is quite beyond me.

    • snusnud says:

      HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH x 10000000000

    • Gina says:

      @GNAT

      Cara’s a lesbian, so I don’t think it’s your husband’s wing she wants under…maybe yours GNAT? Lol

    • kri says:

      GNAT. Please let someone else win the internet for once. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. lisa2 says:

    So this is basically the same story one of the tabloids wrote about Selena G and now they just changed the name.

    OK..

    • Maya says:

      Yep and after 11 years – thankfully, the majority of people ain’t buying it anymore.

  9. Pandy says:

    Yeah not buying 90 percent of the story. Next up: she’s pregnant with his love child.

    • Gina says:

      @pandy

      Cara’s the latest lesbian Brad is knocking up after Etheridge. Lol That was the story yesterday, Brad and Melissa. (Eyeroll)

  10. greenmonster says:

    Will Angry Baby Face win her Oscar before or after Lohan? Or in the same year?

  11. lucy2 says:

    This is a weird, random narrative the tabloids keep trying, Pitt trying to promote the careers of younger actresses. I’d imagine as a producer he’s always got an eye out for upcoming talent, but beyond that, not so much.
    Did he bring Lupita into any of his projects?

    • Gina says:

      @lucy2

      To be honest, much like most of the tabloid coverage of Brad Pitt, it’s spawned by the women in his life.

      This narrative strikes similar ‘Watch out Angie – the ‘homewrecker,’ is about to have her home wrecked,’ chords that they’ve employed at various times with the Jolie Pitts, when they haven’t had Angelina cheating Brad. It’s a subtle dig. Brad’s interested in Gomez, Delavigne etc. – unspoken is what is Angelina to do.

      It’s sly. Tabloids still know who buys them, and who reads b.s. like this with eagerness…those still angry women looking to see Angelina get her comeeuppance. Sometimes i think they’d sell their firstborn, er grandchild, just to see Angie get nannygated, like Gwen and Jennifer Garner. Lol

      They will remain frustrated forever.

    • lisa2 says:

      @ lucy2

      Yes Lupita and David O are doing another movie project for Plan B. called Americanah

      Which I also applaud since he and his company are actually doing something toward more diversity in films. That could be the story instead of the usual tabloid silliness.

  12. Insomniac says:

    Don’t the tabloids recycle this story every couple of years? They just CTRL+V the name of the actress (and it’s always an actress, so there can be the whiff of Brad having a more-than-professional interest) and publish.

    I doubt Brad sees Cara as this huge talent, but who knows? I’d have never looked at Grumpy Baby Face and thought “Supermodel!” either, and yet here we are.

  13. Josefina says:

    Brad has proven to be a very smart producer. Cara’s not only untalented but people are starting to forget about her. If SS isnt a big turn for her, she’s done. Connections only take you so far if youre not profitable.

  14. mom2two says:

    I don’t buy this. Cara’s not very impressive in the little bit she’s seen in the Suicide Squad preview. The whole preview of SS was rather unimpressive, to be honest. The saving grace of that movie might be Margot Robbie and Jared Leto.

  15. Tara says:

    Sounds like crap. Trying to imply some things too. I don’t like that.

  16. sofie says:

    Radar? Says it all. Garbage tabloid site that is by product from star magazine. = load of bollocks!

  17. sofie says:

    @YEPISAIDIT Where there is smoke is not fire but a tabloid intern writing for unhappy women who like to think other people’s misery makes them feel better. The whole reason why tabloids are still making money.

    • Gina says:

      +1 @Sofie. I think @yepisaidit is the market I was referring to a few posts up thread. That tabloid market space hasn’t changed since 2005, they’re just sadder, lonelier and may weigh a lot more. Still looking to see Angelina get hers. It’s dripping off them. Hahahaa.

      Oh, and @yepisaidit sorry to inform you, but Brad wasn’t a known cheater – he was known as monogamous and faithful and a really good boyfriend/husband. If you don’t believe me, ask his exes who say *he never cheated.* If they say he didn’t cheat, and aren’t mad at him (in fact they say they admire, and will love him forever) – why is a stranger like you making up lies to hate him and lash out at his wife and mother of his children?

      Doesn’t that strike you as weird? hahaha As the World Continues to Turn and be Bitter…..what a waste of your time and energy to hold on to such hate for this long. Bizarrrrrro.

      • Polly says:

        I don’t know @gina, your ongoing effort to defend B&A is sweet but a little over the top.

      • lisa2 says:

        @Gina..

        keep defending them as passionately as ever. Because you know there is never a problem when someone is quoting nasty rumor or implying things that are not true.
        That kind of thing is never ever Over the top.

      • Tarsha says:

        As I said a few days ago, it’s crazy that her haters are so obsessed. Very odd and scary. I didn’t see the post and it’s obviously been deleted but Yepisaidit is deeply unhinged and a psychotic Anistonloon who repeats DEBUNKED lies over and over, hoping they will eventually believe it themselves. Not of what they apparently said is remotely true, we all know it’s been proven Brad never cheated on anyone. Rather, he was cheated one twice. By Gwyneth (with I forget who) and Aniston with Matt LeBlanc. Brad has twice been the victim, as we know now, NEVER the cheater. The hate-filled sociopathic Anistonloons cannot accept PROVEN FACTS.

    • Tarsha says:

      PS. A google search shows that “YepIsaidit” is a poster on FEMALE FIRST!! As if their unhinged, deranged and psychopathically obsessive burning HATRED for Angelina and Brad wasn’t proof positive that they are a card-carrying Anistonloon!!

  18. Cakes says:

    @polly I agree wholeheartedly. The word count of that one individual on this thread is kind of disturbing.

    And by word count, I don’t mean I actually counted them. Who has that kind of time?

    • lisa2 says:

      The same people that post things that are ugly.. Just because they are using less words doesn’t make those kinds of comments any less disturbing either. But some people never seem to be bothered by them. That’s interesting on a whole different level.

      • Paige says:

        @lisa2 It’s double standards. That person yesisaidit posts nasty and over the top comments about Brad and Angelina weight, acting, relationship, etc. No one says a thing. He/she loathes Brad. I wonder what he did to her? Lol

      • Tarsha says:

        Yes Lisa2 and Paige, the passive-aggressiveness and hypocrisy of some is galling. Ignore the vile psychopathic unhinged nutcase spewing hate, go after the person defending someone, instead. Because, hey, it is more important to defend a bully and a hater, than do the decent and time-honoured thing of defending a victim from smear and lies. If the ONLY thing they can pick on (and that is only because they cannot argue with the content) is the length of posts, it says to me that not only do they lack the attention-span to read anything longer than 2 lines because they are immature and non-academic, but they are being petty because they know the poster is RIGHT. Anistonloons are infamous for their passive-aggressiveness, pettiness, and spiteful bilious posts. They hate being called out, and will follow you around making passive-aggressive jabs. I like that they look so unhinged and obsessed. And cue some of the usual suspects in 3…2…..

    A post from YepIsaidit on Female First – ”

    Ange’s fans could care less about her. only the illusion

    Postby yepIsaidit » 04 Jun 2007 15:39

    This to all the Angelina fans. How on earth can they call themself her fans. The bottom line is that she is continuing to hang on to Brad Pitt. This man is disrespecting her and can give a damn about who knows it. After that Cannes situation, her fans jumping up and down, sending e-mails to everyone that will listen, and calling it a victory because he kissed her.

    I am in no way a fan of hers, actually I felt she deserves whatever she get from Brad. But, damn, no one deserve to be treated like that. He treats her like S***, she takes it, he would not let her touch him on the red carpet, and a 20 second kiss, so say the fans, in the back of the limo does not erase how he treated her. Angelina’s need to win or prove the world wrong about her relationship may cloud her judgement that this is not worth it.

    As strong as her fans proclaim her to be. They are so hung up on that super hero. Clearly, that person is gone. Angelina weighs 80lbs, and I truly do not think it has anything to do with caring about orphans so she can not eat. Bull. A controlling man like Brad, can cause a person to totally lose themself in the relationship trying hard to please him. She is taking all kinds of hits in the press. And the only man that is speaking up for her is her brother. Brad appears to be putting no effort into this relationship. You can bet, she is taking all kind of hits from him about his career.

    It appears that she just want to be with him at all cost. He do not respect her. I hope that she has not lost herself so much that she becomes the mistress again. I think just like everyone else that loves Brad, she is star struck. The man that she is with has nothing to do with the one she has seen on the big screen. Her self esteem has left. You can see it in her eyes, when her mother died, everytime you seen Brad, he was in his office. He appeared to lose interest during the lowest moment in her life. She did not have a chance to Grieve, because the relationship is about pleasing him.

    Based on the things she continue to say in the press, seems as though she wants to leave but just can not bring herself to do so. He do not love her, he do not respect her, and is this the type of example that she wants to set for her daughters. He is probably already working on the next woman, she needs to get her S*** together, and demand respect from this man. If this results in losing him, then so be it, she had no business with him in the first place. Let his ass go. I am sure it is him that want her to quit working, that is why she keeps saying it, and if you notice, she says it when they are separated for a minute. Get it together and drop his ass. If you don’t, he damn sure will drop you the second he find someone else.”
    0.o o.o YepIsaidit is clearly batshit fukking crazy!! I suspected all along that they were Whamo (an anti-Angelina person who posts on many many blogs and attacks Brad like mad, PRETENDING to be ‘concerned’ for Angelina, and that she can do sooo much better than Brad, but admitted to me that they truly loathe Angelina on another blog post when outed) or some other Anistonloon playing the ‘neutral’/concerned/like AJ-hate Brad bullshit ACT, we’ve all seen ’em on here so many times, over and over again, and most tend to unravel and reveal their true intent 2 or 3 posts in. It is interesting that they are infamously SO TRANSPARENT yet they seriously think they aren’t that obvious and we don’t catch on.
