12 Monkeys Inspired Dog Names

The film 12 Monkeys boasts an impressive cast of actors and actresses such as Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt. At the time, Pitt was not yet the A-list leading actor that he was now. In fact, director Terry Gilliam did not originally want him for the role of Jeffrey Goines but was eventually persuaded by the film’s casting director. By the time the film was released, however, Pitt had already starred in other blockbuster hits such as Legends of the Fall, Interview with the Vampire and Se7en, which made him one of the most billable actors at the time. Thus, he helped draw attention to the film and helped boost its success in the box office.

Pitt’s performance as Jeffrey Goines played a huge part in the film’s critical success; his acting skills were singled out and he collected several nominations, including Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards and Saturn Awards. He also received a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jeffrey Gaines.

At present, Brad Pitt is considered one of the biggest Hollywood actors of all time; most of the movies he was involved in have gone on to become box office hits. He has also ventured into producing and filmmaking, having produced and directed several films under his belt. Everyone knows how good Pitt is in his craft but what not a lot of people know is that he is also one of Hollywood’s biggest dog lovers.

Brad Pitt owns an English Bulldog named Jacques. Because Pitt values his privacy a lot, not much is known about his personal life, including that of his family. As such, there’s little information about his dogs, too. Every now and then, some photos of the Pitt clan would be published where he and his children are photographed strolling with Jacques. Fans also got a little insight into Pitt’s pooch thanks to his 2017 interview with GQ Magazine. According to the write-up, Jacques was the “best thing” about the interview.

Amidst his high-profile divorce with Angeline Jolie, he broke his silence about the issue with the tell-all for GQ magazine. In the interview, he shared some interesting facts about him, such as his journey to sobriety. He also had different musings about life wherein he featured Jacques as the “hero” of the story. Now that he lives on his own, Jacques serves as his only companion and helps him forget any loneliness he feels. One of the takeaways from this interview is that when things start to fall apart, you can count on your dog to bring some joy into your life.
