During an interview with The Project’s Waleed Aly on Monday, the 59-year-old let slip that he didn’t want to pass the opportunity to make out with the Australian beauty.

‘You know, when was I going to get a chance to do this again? And we did it.’
‘I might add too that Nellie (Margot’s character) kisses fifteen people in this movie,’ Robbie explained before Pitt joked that Nellie was probably carrying a few Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Directed by Damien Chazelle of La La Land fame, Babylon stars Brad and Margot as debauched movie stars in the Roaring Twenties.

The duo were previously both in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, but they never actually acted together before Babylon.
The film is packed with wild, Dionysian parties and ribald behavior, largely involving Margot’s character, who is said to be inspired by the original ‘It girl’ Clara Bow.
Margot went viral at the start of the month when she divulged to E! News that she took matters into her own hands and kissed Brad in Babylon.

‘That wasn’t in the script. but I thought: “When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I’m just gonna go for it,”‘ she spilled.
Robbie confessed she was the one to kiss her co-star: ‘I said: “Damien, I think Nellie would just go up and kiss Jack.” And Damien was like: “Well, she could – wait, hold on. You just wanna kiss Brad Pitt.”‘
‘And I was like: “Oh, so sue me. This opportunity might never come up again.” And he was like: “It does work for the character,’ and I was like: “I think so.”‘

Kissing Brad ‘was just great,’ she said, and although the first take went well, the director ‘was like: “No, do it again. That really works.” I was like: “Oh, great.”‘
Offscreen, Margot is married to Tom Ackerley, with whom she co-founded her production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
