Brad Pitt has reacted to Margot Robbie, revealing that she gave him an unwritten kiss while filming her new movie Babylon.
Margot’s candid confession sparked debate online about how the issue would be received if the sexes were reversed, especially in the wake of the me-too movement.
However, Brad, 58, is relaxed on the subject, telling Entertainment Tonight, “There’s always room for character interpretation.”

The film is packed with wild, Dionysian parties and lewd demeanor, most notably involving Margot’s character, who is said to have been inspired by Clara Bow, the original It-Girl.

“It’s the best thing I’ve ever seen”: The smoldering heartthrob added, “Believe me, that’s the tamest thing she does about it,” she gushed, “She’s dying for it.”
“It wasn’t in the script. but I thought, ‘When else do I get a chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I’ll just try,” she spilled.
The duo both previously starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, but they never actually acted together before Babylon.
Margot recalls, “I said, ‘Damien, I think Nellie would just go up and kiss Jack.’ And Damien said, ‘Well, she could — wait, wait. You just want to kiss Brad Pitt.”
She said, “And I said, ‘Oh, sue me. That opportunity may never come again.” And he said, “It works for the character,” and I said, “I think so.”
