So true! I was watching the news earlier, and they had Pitt on, and I have to say, the boy wasn't looking too bad. Of course I didn't have my glasses on, but the pic that the fan posted (on another thread) also shows a more relaxed looking Brad than we've seen for a while. I've posted before that Pitt has been in Toronto many times for the film festival,( met him at one years ago-Seven Years in Tibet) and is usually very friendly. They used to film press conferences for all the films and they were on a local channel-at the Babel press conference he was very funny and charming. I was still pissed at him, but had to admit, he won me over. They thought the sound was off, and you could see the rapport with Blanchett, and the director. He was very accommodating and pleasant.
Last year, different person. Looks wise, miserable, pissed off looking, wouldn't acknowledge random people talking to him. Didn't go to any parties-even the one with Damon and Clooney where he was expected. They were both gracious on the red carpet, but Jolie was clearly soused and they had a public spat in the hotel lobby. She probably drank herself silly and he didn't go-he'd said earlier that he was going.
Last year, you not have seen him out on the street, having a drink, with mere mortals hanging around. Can you imagine Jolie doing that? I just realized how unlikely that would be. What a strange pair they are-insist on procreating but can't look happy together. Cannes, where he wouldn't even look at her? They don't enhance each other-the opposite effect-he showed as much or more chemistry and affection with Cate Blanchett, than I have ever seen with Jolie. (Not thinking anything more than professional friendship with her of course-just saying its weird)
