Was Brad Pitt’s True Romance Character Based On Real Life?

As one of the world’s biggest stars, we rarely get an insight into Brad Pitt’s life. At the moment, it seems pretty good, but according to the 49-year-old actor, it used to resemble that of Floyd – his character in the cult hit, True Romance.

“For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f***ing off,” Pitt told Esquire U.S. in his rare and candid interview. “But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change… This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany.”
