As per Marca, Brokeback Mountain director confirmed this news a couple of years ago and said he did approach Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt before casting Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in the roles that went on to become iconic. He said, “Nobody wanted to do it. I was working on it, and I felt we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast. That wasn’t working. I asked the usual candidates: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe. They all said no.”
Now, whether is for either of the role or both coming together to romance each other isn’t clear, but chances of the latter are high since Gus wanted famous stars to headline the movie. Both the superstars must be regretting passing on the movie considering what cult it has become now.
