Susan Sarandon talks about working with Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise

In an interview with Extra, Susan said that she thought it was so fun to be part of the movie. She added that the movie was kind of a cowboy one except there were women and trucks instead of horses and guys. Talking about watching Brad's performance, she said that when she saw the film, the part that really impressed her apart from his good looks and great body was his great sense of humour. Giving reason to the same sentence, the actor said that Brad really fleshed the part out in a way that wasn't even a part of the script. She then thought to herself back then that the guy is interesting and not just a really gorgeous face. 

Further, she talked about his character in the movie. Brad played the role of a cowboy drifter which was also his first major on-screen role. Susan continued that he took it as a character part and that people can see from his career that he continued to push the envelope in ways that he really didn't have to when someone has a look like him.
