Melbourne
(ANI):
American
actors
Brad
Pitt
and
George
Clooney
were
once
the
best
of
mates,
but
it
took
only
a
role
in
the
remake
of
My
Fair
Lady
to
bust
them
apart.
The
two
Hollywood
heartthrobs,
who
have
been
quite
successful
with
their
reunion
in
their
latest
movie
Burn
After
Reading,
are
now
fighting
over
who
gets
to
play
the
role
of
Henry
Higgins
in
the
remake
of
the
classic.
"We
both
badly
want
a
particular
role
and
neither
is
backing
down,''
News.com.au
quoted
Clooney
as
having
told
a
friend.
For
Pitt,
landing
the
role
of
Henry
Higgins
would
be
a
dream
come
true,
as
he
has
been
fascinated
by
the
story
since
he
was
a
child,
and
he
has
even
gone
so
far
as
to
tell
Clooney
to
back
down
and
give
the
role
to
him.
The
Troy
star
is
so
enthusiastic
about
the
movie
that
he
wants
his
wife
actress
Angelina
Jolie
to
play
the
part
of
Eliza
Doolittle.
But
Clooney
has
no
intentions
of
backing
down,
as
he
too
is
eager
to
land
the
role.
"It's
sort
of
become
an
intense
competition
between
us
now
and
it
just
keeps
escalating.
For
now
we''re
both
so
angry
we''re
not
even
in
contact
any
more,''
Clooney
added.
The
feud
between
Pitt,
44,
and
Clooney,
47,
has
definitely
turned
their
previously
united
front
around.
