The Screen Actor’s Guild Awards were this past Sunday and on the red carpet Brad Pitt spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio. The two starred in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood together and Pitt said the bond was instant and the friendship was easy.
But, then he revealed that DiCaprio’s nickname for him is….lover. Yes. You read that right. Pitt said, “It’s a bit confusing but I just roll with it.” I couldn’t agree more! I would never call my friends ‘lover’ regardless of their gender so…why? Is there a story behind this? Some behind the scenes joke? If Brad Pitt is confused I doubt any of us will ever figure it out.
How would you feel if your non-romantic friends called you Lover? Do you have any weird nicknames? Let us know!
