Javier Bardem flirted with Brad Pitt to get a job

Spanish actor Javier Bardem flirted with Brad Pitt so he could get him a job.

The Oscar winner admitted last month to having a 'man crush' on Pitt and yesterday while appearing on US talk show The Tonight Show, he explained why.

The 41–year-old husband of actress Penelope Cruz told host Jay Leno: "I mean, who doesn't have it?"

"I had the chance to meet him and he is very nice, very sweet... I mean, great body, great face - I was like, alright!"

And Javier put his feelings for Brad, 46, to good use - to score him a job on Julia Roberts' new movie Eat Pray Love.

Bardem added: "He was a producer of Eat Pray Love, so I was flirting with him so I could get a job. I wanted to make him believe that I could fall in love with him so he would give me a job."
