Macdonald emphasized that it would have been tough for the audience to comprehend a lonely journalist struggling to find a girlfriend with the handsome appearance of Pitt.
“In a way, I was lucky it didn’t work out with Brad. The relationship between the journalist and the politician was meant to be between somebody who feels inferior, who’s a bit of a schlump, who kind of can’t get a girlfriend, and somebody he’s looking up to and admires – his polished politician friend. That is not the dynamic of Brad Pitt. He’s not looking up to anyone thinking ‘Oh, I wish I could have your girlfriend’.”
