However, when he realized that Angelina Jolie would still play the lead female role, he joined the film team right away.
Stick to his principles
Brad Pitt sued Damiani International, the company that created his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston's engagement ring, in 2001.

He enjoys producing more than acting
"As a producer, obviously, you're part of a team that brings the story to the screen. It wouldn't be there if you didn't champion it or if you and a group of people weren't championing it. I like that." Pitt told. He also has his own production company called Plan B Entertainment (which was founded in November 2001 by him and Jennifer Aniston).
