Flemyng claims Pitt is "hindered" by looks

Jason Flemyng has claimed that Brad Pitt is being "hindered" by his looks.

The Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels actor recently finished working with Pitt on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is expected to be released early next year in the UK.

Flemyng has suggested that Pitt does not get enough recognition for his "phenomenal" performances in films - because people prefer to discuss his appearance.

"I think his looks have hindered him. Not in terms of the parts he's got, but in terms of what people think of him," Flemyng explained. "When you think of Seven or Kalifornia, you think, 'This guy's a phenomenal actor.' Then you see Ocean's Eleven or Thelma & Louise and you think, 'He's a good looking b*****d.'"

Speaking about their time on set, Flemyng revealed: "He's great fun. He jokes around all the time and has a real quality about him. On set the director called me over and said, 'Jase, just watch him. Watch him move.' Instead of walking, Brad literally glides. It's incredible."
