Brad Pitt has talked about being dumped by ex-fiancée Jill Schoelen while he was still a struggling actor.
Pitt recalled how he spent the last of the money he had paying for a plane ticket from LA to Hungary to visit her on the set of a movie.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I lost most of my money on a crazy trip to see my then girlfriend who was working on a film in Budapest. This is something I wish I knew at 18 - or any age. I should have seen it coming a mile away - in neon.
"She called me up in Los Angeles and was crying on the phone. She was lonely and there was a huge drama. At this point I had $800 to my name and I spent 600 of it getting a ticket from LA to Hungary to see her.
"I got there, went straight to the set where she was filming and that night we went out to dinner. She told me that she'd fallen in love with the director of the film.
"I was shocked and said, 'I'm outta here'. I picked up my bag and got a cab to the station. These were the days when Hungary was still Communist. I spent my night in Budapest, sitting on a bench, smoking, with just a local bum to talk to who couldn't speak English."
Pitt added: "These are the days and nights you remember when you have success."
