Hollywood star George Clooney has opened up about a career-defining moment from his early days, recalling how he lost the role of drifter J.D. in the 1991 classic Thelma & Louise to Brad Pitt, a casting decision that left him frustrated for years, according to People.

Thelma & Louise is a 1991 comedy-drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri. The film stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon as Thelma and Louise. The supporting cast includes Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, and Brad Pitt.
