Courtney Love recently claims she lost a role in Fight Club alongside Brad Pitt because she refused to allow him to be cast as Kurt Cobain

Courtney Love says she was almost in Fight Club.

In fact, the rocker said on Monday's episode of WTF With Marc Maron that she was officially cast to play Marla — the role that ultimately went to Helena Bonham Carter — in the 1999 cult classic. Love claimed that she was fired from that movie after she "went nuclear" on Brad Pitt and director Gus Van Sant when they approached her around the same time about a project based on her late husband, Kurt Cobain. She shut the whole thing down.

"I wouldn't let Brad play Kurt," Love said.
