Washington D.C.: Not only common people but even celebrities have their fan moment when they see their favourite actors. Similarly, two Hollywood bigwigs Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were also star-struck when they worked with the late actor Luke Perry for the first time.
In a recent interview with a leading publication, DiCaprio and Pitt couldn't stop gushing about Perry. The duo reminisced working with the late actor while sharing their 'Butterfly' moment.
Recalling the late star's first day on the set of 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood', Leonardo said, "I remember my friend Vinny, who is in the film as well, we walked in and we both had this butterfly moment of like, 'Oh my God, that's Luke Perry over there!'"
Pitt couldn't agree more as he shared that he practically yelled looking at the late star, "That's Luke f--king Perry!"
"We were like kids in the candy shop because I remember going to the studios and [Beverly Hills, 90210] was going on and he was that icon of coolness for us as teenagers," Pitt explained.
"It was this strange burst of excitement that I had, to be able to act with him," he added.

"Man, he was so incredibly humble and amazing and absolutely committed. He couldn't have been a more friendly, wonderful guy to spend time with. I got to sit down and have some wonderful conversations with him," Pitt revealed.
