Combat Preparation
Many actors learn various skills for different roles. Common ones include horseback riding, fencing, speaking in different accents, but martial arts often rank high on the list. Pitt was never afraid to get his hands dirty in preparing for a role, and some of his roles were quite physically demanding.
For his iconic role in the aforementioned film “Fight Club,” Pitt prepped (and he really prepped), as the film involved quite a bit of, well, fighting. To ensure he was ready for the screen, Brad trained in grappling, boxing, and Taekwondo. The training and effort certainly paid off.
