Although Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt are close collaborators, they allegedly had one moment where they disagreed while filming 2019’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.”

The anecdote comes via co-star Bruce Dern, who spoke with People while celebrating a new documentary about him debuting at Cannes Film Festival named “Dernsie.” A “Dernsie” is the name given to little lines or moments Dern has improvised in order to enhance his onscreen performances.
