Brad Pitt - Pitt Admits Dicaprio Envy

Hollywood star BRAD PITT is demanding more masculine film roles after confessing to feeling envious of LEONARDO DiCAPRIO's recent movie successes. DiCaprio garnered a Best Actor Oscar nomination yesterday (23JAN07) for his role as a South African mercenary in BLOOD DIAMOND, while his other blockbuster THE DEPARTED is up for Best Motion Picture. He plays an undercover cop in the crime thriller. Now Pitt is keen to match the critical acclaim he's attracted by signing up for more macho parts, like his TYLER DURDEN character in FIGHT CLUB. He says, "I caught myself on the phone the other day. Leo has been playing some real strong men these last few years and I found myself saying, 'I want to play more of a man.' I got off the phone and I thought, 'No, live like a man, and the movies will follow.'"
