Logan Lerman has spoken fondly about his experience working with Brad Pitt, whom he described as the “coolest-looking person” he’s ever met. The 33-year-old actor recalled first encountering Pitt as a child in a restaurant, where the Hollywood icon was dressed head-to-toe in leather. Years later, the pair worked together on the 2014 war film Fury, and Lerman said it was a relief to find that Brad lived up to expectations, both in professionalism and personality.

In an interview with Interview magazine, Lerman praised Pitt’s grounded attitude and collaborative spirit, contrasting it with some more difficult personalities he’s encountered in the industry. “I’ve worked with some people, who shall remain nameless, that aren’t like that,” he said. “Brad was so giving.” The actor also joked about wanting to name names but resisted the temptation, instead choosing to focus on the positive example Pitt set.
More recently, Lerman has joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building for its fifth season. Speaking to People, he described the set as “oddly fun”, citing the atmosphere as refreshingly relaxed. Working alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as pop star Selena Gomez, was a highlight. “That’s a really fun show to work on,” he shared. “I had a really good time.”

Although excited about the upcoming season, Lerman remained tight-lipped about his character’s role. Keen to preserve the mystery that drives the hit series, he refused to give away any spoilers. “I don’t want to ruin anything,” he explained, “but I’m excited for people to see it.” With his recent high-profile casting and reflective comments on past work, Lerman continues to earn respect for both his talent and his thoughtful approach to fame.
