Brad Pitt was always special: Susan Sarandon

London: Veteran actress Susan Sarandon always knew Brad Pitt would be something special when they appeared in `Thelma & Louise` together.

The 67-year-old actress said in the 1991 hit film Pitt made his performance flawless at such an early stage of his career, reportedly. "He`s told stories about how professional I was and how I made him a professional -- I don`t remember any of that! It seemed like it was absolutely, absolutely easy for him. When I saw the movie and I saw him in the scene in the police station, that`s when I knew that he really was something special. There was really something there. He`s a very smart guy," she said. Meanwhile, Sarandon`s co-star Geena Davis, 58, said she found it difficult shooting a love scene with Pitt. "It was very challenging! I just didn`t know how to get into it," Davis said.
