Brad Pitt and Edward Norton got stoned before the Fight Club premiere because they already knew it was going to bomb Edward Norton: “They made a very strange decision to premiere Fight Club at the Venice Film Festival, and it got booed.” “Brad pulled me aside and asked, ‘How do you think this is going to go?’” “I said, ‘I don’t think this is going to go well at all.’ He said, ‘Me neither. Let’s get stoned.’” “I’m a lightweight, and Brad, at the time, was a pro.” “People were actively booing, and some left in the middle of the movie.” “Brad turned to me in the dark, kind of tearfully, and said, ‘I think that’s the best movie I’m ever going to be in.’”
