'We were just having a great time': Revisiting Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis' iconic 90s relationship

"We were just having a great time": A Blast From the Past with Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis' Iconic Romance

"We're like at the point in love, where we just like to see each other every single day". These words by Juliette Lewis from an L.A. Times interview in '93 encapsulate the sweet bliss of young love she shared with Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt, as reported by InStyle. Let's travel back to the 90s when two young actors in LA rose to fame and captured America's attention - Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis.

"Smoke lots of pot and anonymity in LA"

Before Pitt's abs became a national treasure and Lewis earned her Oscar nomination for Cape Fear, they were just two young actors falling in love in their little bungalow off Melrose, where they would "smoke lots of pot," according to Lewis' 2009 interview with BlackBook. This was a time when fame had not yet come knocking, and they enjoyed the comfort of anonymity and the freedom to just be in love.

The Glitter and Glamour of the Academy Awards

From wearing each other's clothes to walking the red carpet of the Academy Awards, Pitt and Lewis' relationship had its fair share of sweet and memorable moments. The 1992 Oscars stand out, with Lewis sporting a glittering ivory '20s-style gown and cornrows, and Pitt donning a head-scratching ascot and two-tone wingtip oxfords. "I love that there was no styling," Lewis fondly recalls.

"We were trying to be Sid and Nancy or something"

However, the sparkling allure of the Academy Awards could not keep them together. Pitt and Lewis called it quits in 1993 after living together for three years and starring in two films together. Pitt, reminiscing on their relationship in a 1994 interview with Rolling Stone, revealed, "We were idiots. We were just having a great time."

"I still love the woman"

Despite the split, Pitt continued to harbor affection for Lewis, telling Vanity Fair in 1995, "I still love the woman. There's some real genius there. I had a great time with her." Lewis also remembers the relationship fondly and spoke highly of Pitt in an interview with The Guardian.

Where are they now?

Post his relationship with Lewis, Pitt became the poster boy for A-list romance, dating other high-profile celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie. His acting prowess also elevated him to Hollywood's highest echelon, with several iconic movies under his belt, including Se7en, Ocean's Eleven, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Lewis, on the other hand, moved on to marry pro skateboarder Joe Berra and later started focusing on her music career.

As we look back, there's no denying that Pitt and Lewis' relationship had a significant impact on their lives and careers, shaping them into the celebrities we know today. "Huge life changes all occurred, all connected to that person," Lewis recalls, signifying the unforgettable mark this romance left on their lives.
