Brad Survives Bear (Hug) Attack
Somebody must have been asleep at the velvet rope.
Brad Pitt was shaken but not stirred Sunday when an overzealous fan managed to get by security and throw her arms around the actor as he walked the red carpet with Angelina Jolie at the Venice Film Festival.
"It was a scary moment," a witness to the impromptu embrace told reporters at the scene. "The security team must have been embarrassed that somebody got so close to him. She could have been anyone. Brad didn't look too happy."
Security stepped up immediately following the breach, however, to escort the woman—who insisted that she only wanted to hug the movie star—off the premises.
Pitt was at the Italian fest to promote the long-gestating The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, in which he stars as the Wild West icon and Casey Affleck plays said coward. The drama-gangster flick hybrid is in competition for the event's top prize, the Golden Lion.
But although James' life story doesn't have a happy ending, Pitt has said—fittingly, it turns out—that the public attention the infamous outlaw received mirrors the type of scrutiny facing many modern-day celebrities, including himself.
"The funny thing to me is that it doesn't seem that different today as it was then, in the sense that a lot of it was manufactured, a lot of it was sensationalized, very little of it was based on truth and even after his death, like we just saw with Anna Nicole Smith, the melee that ensues from it," Pitt told Associated Press Television Monday in Venice.
Being famous today is "really quite similar, there's just more of it today," he said.
This musing on the nature of celebrity came just a day after Pitt told an Italian television station that he and Jolie are ready for baby number five, putting to bed the recycled rumors that he and his live-in paramour are on the outs.
"It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain…I've ever experienced," the 43-year-old actor, who fathered daughter Shiloh and is sharing adoptive parenting duties with Jolie for Maddox, Zahara and Pax, said of fatherhood.
"I love it and can't recommend it any more highly—although sleep is nonexistent."
