George Clooney and Brad Pitt finally settle their ‘mullet war’ and reveal who wore the divisive ’80s hairstyle best more than 40 years on

Brad Pitt thinks he wore the mullet ‘better’ than George Clooney.

The Hollywood star, 60, famously wore the  voluminous hairdo 1980s  at the same time that George  had the same look.

But in in a joint GQ interview, the pair discussed their humorous hair rivalry and Brad joked that it probably suited him more.

Brad said: ‘I would say one of the greatest that ever existed…’

George cut in: ‘Was my mullet or your mullet?’

 Brad answered: ‘I’m going to say mine.’

But former ER star George noted that he ‘might say’ his even though ultimately, their dos were both a ‘really good shared experience’.

Brad and George first starred together in 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven, reuniting in 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve and 2007’s Ocean’s Thirteen.

Brad also had a cameo in George’s directorial debut, 2002’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and they starred in the Coen Brothers’ 2008 film Burn After Reading.

They also starred in the 2012 play 8 by Dustin Lance Black that aired live on YouTube with a star-studded cast also including Kevin Bacon, Jamie Lee Curtis and more. 

Their latest venture Wolfs sees the pair portray two stubborn ‘lone wolf’ professional fixers  – whose lives are upended when they are assigned the same job.

It was revealed in 2022 that both Pitt and Clooney both took pay cuts to ensure the film would also get a theatrical release along with its debut on Apple TV Plus.

‘It was an exciting time because it got to be one of those weird bidding wars which happen every once in a while, and it ended up being pretty extreme, and Apple came in with a really big number for Brad and I,’ Clooney told Deadline in 2022.

‘And we said we’d like to take less as long as we can guarantee that we can have a theatrical release, and they said great,’ Clooney added, in a reference to Apple. 

Apple TV+ acquired the rights to the film after winning out on a studio bidding war between up to 10 companies that included Sony, Lionsgate, Annapurna, MGM, Universal, Warner Bros, Apple, Netflix and Amazon.

Wolves was written and directed by Jon Watts, who is best known to many fans for the Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), as well as the supernatural horror film Clown (2014) the road thriller Cop Car (2015).
