Talking about their infamous prank war, the actor further added:
“I sentMeryl Streepa letter from him with a whole stack of dialect coach CDs saying that they may help her for her role inThe Iron Lady. I have sent letters to lots and lots of people from Brad and I don’t tell either of them what I have done for a year or two and they are like, ‘Are you kidding me?'”
