Brad Pitt drew inspiration from Elvis Presley for his latest movie role.
The Hollywood hunk voices superhero Metro Man in new computer-animated film Megamind.
Will Ferrell voices the evil eponymous character, who gets bored once he realises he has no more rivals to fight.
The movie is directed by Tom McGrath, who was impressed with how seriously Brad took his role. He worked hard to get it just right, and based the character on the legendary smooth-talking singer.
“Brad Pitt was fantastic to work with, he's the perfect Metro Man,” McGrath said.
“He really got into it with his Elvis swagger. In fact, when we recorded him he didn't want to sit behind a podium, he wanted to walk around the stage holding this mic and it really suited his character.”
McGrath was equally as happy with Will’s portrayal. He explained the American comedian ad-libbed many of his lines, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the cast and crew.
He was continually adding in his own jokes, often making the others giggle so much it caused problems.
“We laughed so hard in the control booth I had to cover my mouth,” McGrath said.
