Brad Pitt makes first public outing in six weeks & he’ll attend ‘Allied’ premiere

Since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in September, Brad Pitt has been in the wind. We heard that he was basically hiding out in one of his LA homes, but no one really knows for sure. Some people even theorized that he shuffled off to rehab for a month or so. But Brad did make a semi-public appearance two nights ago, at a special screening for Moonlight. Brad produced Moonlight, and it’s a film that’s getting a lot of Oscar buzz. He wants to encourage it, and he wants to celebrate the film and make sure that he’s using his name to promote this kind of film.

…Of course, it also works out that this is the week when the promotional tour for Brad’s film Allied is supposed to start. Just a few days ago, The Sun reported that Brad had canceled every appearance on behalf of Allied, and his people were trying to ensure that Marion Cotillard didn’t get a ton of questions about the Brangelina split. Well, the premiere is tonight. And Brad will be there. People confirmed it yesterday.

Brad Pitt will make his first red carpet appearance since his split from Angelina Jolie at the premiere of his new film Allied Wednesday night, PEOPLE confirms. The premiere for the World War II spy drama, which also stars Marion Cotillard, will take place Wednesday night in L.A.’s Westwood neighborhood.

Pitt has kept a low profile since Jolie filed for divorce, and even skipped the premiere of his film Voyage of Time on Sept. 28, explaining in a statement that he preferred to stay “focused on his family” at the time.

[From People]

People Mag’s story wasn’t the first to claim that Brad actually is going to keep some of his commitments – Page Six reported yesterday morning that Brad will not only attend the premiere, but that he’s “maintaining multiple commitments for the film. He doesn’t usually do much press anyway.” So, that means he’ll do the premiere tonight… and what else? One big interview with Diane Sawyer? Or something lighter, something he can control from top to bottom? What would that even be at this point? Anyway, my guess is that Brad will walk the red carpet tonight and stop for every photographer… but he won’t speak to any entertainment journalists. Or maybe he’ll just give Entertainment Tonight a quote about the movie and that’s it. And then everyone will be like, “Oh, Brad is so professional, we hate Angelina so much!”

    The trailer for Moonlight looks really good, I’d really like to see it.

    And if the last few hours thaught us anything is that NOTHING can hurt tje image of a straight, rich, white man.

    • Malibu Stacy says:

      Yes! I’ve been excited about this movie for months. The New Yorker wrote a really insightful article about the movie so if you get a chance, look that up. Can’t wait to watch it!

    • Kate says:

      It’s a brilliant film, by far one of the best this year.

    • Tallia says:

      Moonlight is the most amazing film I have seen this year.

  2. Nemera77 says:

    Brad is professional.. and we don’t hate Angelina.

    • Nacelle says:

      As if this attention whore would miss a red carpet.

      • Swak says:

        A little harsh, don’t you think? People were slamming him when reports came out he wouldn’t attend the premiers and now your saying he’s an attention whore for doing the red carpet and promoting the film.

      • Maya says:

        Umm attending a premier for a movie you acted in is not called fame hungry – it’s called being professional.

      • Nacelle says:

        @Swak What he did to Maddox was more than a little harsh.

      • Nemera77 says:

        Really.. the man has been unseen for over 2 months. Hardly attention seeking.. Angie has been out of sight too.

        Supporting a movie you produced or going to your PREMIER is not Attention Seeking.. It is REACHING on your part.

        @Nacelle.. we don’t know what was done do we.

      • Nacelle says:

        @Nemera77 He admitted to fighting with him.

      • Nemera77 says:

        @Narcelle..
        I don’t recall him admitting to fighting with him. I understand that he and Angie were fighting. I’ll wait for them to say what actually happened and not gossip speculation. It is a sad situation for all involved. And I’m sure they are all having a difficult time.

      • Sage says:

        He’s being professional not an attention whore. He committed and he’s sticking to it.

      • Tanguerita says:

        and you know that how,@Narcelle?

      • swak says:

        @Nacelle, we do not know what exactly happened on that plane. And as others say, until we get it straight from Brad or Angelina’s mouth, I will take everything that is being reported with a grain of salt. My comment was on the fact that you were talking about him being a fame whore, not on what transpired with Maddox.

      • Turro says:

        swak says: we do not know what exactly happened on that plane.

        @swack Really, not exactly. But some shit happened, and a serious one, because 2 months later He still is under DCFS investigation with a list of recomendations. One of them: monitored vistitations with his own kids.

      • nudiedoula says:

        people are killing me. everything is SPECULATION. and has no one heard about the DCFS? they can be downright criminal. I’d be afraid to ever call them. on anyone. they can be far more corrupt and terrifying than an abusive parent can, sadly. all that aside, the more I think about how Jolie said he was just so wonderful and down-to-earth…she praised him like there was no tomorrow. that’s not the way a battered woman acts, especially if she wants to protect her kids. I would know. we keep our mouths shut in terror, but we don’t praise them in public. especially if we have millions and the ability to get help to get out.

      • squee says:

        Nudiedoula – If you’ve been there yourself you’ll know that perhaps people respond and behave differently in those situations. I used to sing my ex’s praises to my family and friends, even making thing up to make him sound good. Why? Because I didn’t want them to see what was really going on. So it’s not helpful to say ‘battered women don’t act like that’. Also, having millions doesnt necessarily mean anything – I was supporting my daughter and him (he had no job, and too lazy to even claim benefits) so I was the one with the financial advantage, and it made no difference to the feeling there was no way out. I am not in the slightest suggesting that is the nature of A & B’s relationship or making any comment on their relationship, i’m just responding to your post.

      • norah says:

        what a horrible comment to make about brad – he still makes very good movies regardless of what his personal issues are

  3. Louise177 says:

    Did anybody actually believe he wouldn’t go to the premier or not do any promotion? I do think he’ll dial it back but Allied is a major film that he’s the star of. The studio wouldn’t just allow him to blow off promotion.

    • Kate says:

      Right? Apart from anything else PR wise it would be a disaster for him to be totally hidden away while a major film of his is released.

      • Yepisaidit says:

        No, actually it would look like he’s putting his children above himself. He’s not doing that. Brad is all about image and career and promoting a movie that he had very little to do with proves that. De de Gardner and Klein are the producers of moonlight. Brad is in name only like most of the movies he takes credit for.

  4. Malibu Stacy says:

    It’s so hard to muster the strength to care about this given the presidential outcome. But I welcome the attempt to distract from the tragedy. I hope Brad and Angie can find peace. They loved each other so much.

    • Maya says:

      Sadly I think they still love each other but his alcoholism ultimately came in between. Alcohol has taken down some good men and has ruined hundred of families.

    • Hejhej says:

      This. Hopefully he can become sober and they can reach a peaceful solution for everyone.

    • Actors and actresses have CONTRACTS they have to fullfill. Sometimes those CONTRACTS are ironclad. They HAVE TO promote the movies, just like normal people still have to go to work when they get a divorce too.

  5. fatty says:

    Divorce looks good on him.

  6. Maya says:

    I have always thought that Brad was a wonderful man, partner and father. But if he doesn’t realise a statement soon about his alcohol and anger issues being the reasons for the divorce, I will lose all respect I have for him.

    He has seen with his own eyes how much hatred Angelina got when they got together and even now, she is the one being villianized by the media and public.

    If he has any love for Angelina and his children then he will put a stop to it immediately with a single statement.

    I have been a fan of Angelina’s for 17 years and she hasn’t let me down yet. Even though this whole divorce she has behaved in a classy and dignified way. She has taken all the hatred thrown at her in silence because of her children. She deserves to have someone else do the same for her.

    • detritus says:

      He loves his reputation more I think.

      • Nemera77 says:

        oh please….

      • mini says:

        He is all about Hollywood. Praying for Angelina because all the hens will be slamming her and trying to get on Brad’s good side. He is single again. But hey so is Angelina and she is still the most beautiful woman in the world imo. Bless the kids.

    • jinni says:

      He spent years being just fine with being seen as the golden goose that his ex and Jolie fought over. Or the stories of the wicked witch Jolie making him cry. Hell he even used that same story when news of the divorce broke of him crying to his parents because Jolie was such a meany. He had problem letting both of them get dogged out by the media. Sure he was dismissive of the tabs when it was brought up in interviews but I don’t recall him ever flat out saying that them attacking the mother of his kids is f-ed and they really need to stop.

      Pitt strikes me as very self-centered ( most celebs are) so I don’t think he’s now going to give any statement that may ruin his rep (since there are still some that thinks he didn’t hit his son which is a load of bs but let them keep living in their dream world) in order to protect Jolie or the kids.

    • Lalu says:

      I thought this was kind of his way that he did things. Isn’t he always the innocent when he leaves a relationship?
      I thought when he and Angie got together people said it was because he wanted children

      • Claudia says:

        @Lalu

        +1

        2016: “Poor Brad, all he wants is to be a father, but his unstable, crazy bitch, evil wife won’t let him see his kids”.

        2005: “Poor Brad, all he wants is to be a father, but his career obsessed, selfish wife won’t let him have a family.

      • Foreing girl says:

        @Claudia THIS X1000

      • sage says:

        @Claudia..LMAO.

  7. Sage says:

    That’s nice that Julia came out to support him. I suspect he will publicly receive a lot of support from his Hollywood friends now..

    • Turro says:

      yes! He is a modern version of Prodigal son: the father “Hollywood” runs to meet the son as soon as he sees him coming home…

  8. Fa says:

    Noticed tabloids trying to undermine angelina official statement about their legal agreement by sending his sources to all tabloids and saying its an extended one so he is not denying officially but off the record sources don’t stick and official statement stick and report by legit news

  9. Adorable says:

    Mmmm….I know he’s all h/wood but in my mind I wanted to see him all fat,messy & bloated & still wearing his wedding ring with “A guilty look”..instead he looks great!…Love her & like him but I too have been disappointed with his actions!..defend your woman(ex)..Fight for your family!…DO SOMETHING!

    • Sage says:

      Brad Pitt will not be defending anyone. He didn’t defend Goop, Aniston and he sure as hell will not defend Jolie.

      • SaraR. says:

        Why would he defend Goop? Angelina is the mother of his six children, so there is a reason for that, but I agree, he will not say anything.

        It is hard to care today about anything except what happened in America last night, but I just want to say that Angelina doesn’t need his defending. She is a strong woman and she will be fine. She is used to things being thrown at her all the time and she never needed anyone to speak for her or defend her. For sure, she will not be crying in the media and throwing pitty parties for herself. She is taking care of her children and I am sure they will all be fine eventually.

      • Ana says:

        After her past divorces Angelina always made her public appearance looking more beautiful than ever. I bet that’s what she is going to do. Looking absolutely stunning in her first official Public appearance just to say f….y…. Brad

    • crogirl says:

      He lost the bloat while ago, he looked great at the racing event and in Croatia. But here, and maybe I’m projecting, he looks like he aged 30 years. He may be smiling but I don’t see a happy man in this photo. I think he lost the best thing that ever hapenned to him…

      • Maya says:

        I agree completely – he has been looking good for months now.

        Yep there seems to be a sadness within him and hopefully he realises he lost the best thing he ever had.

      • norah says:

        I like them both but right now very annoyed with him. but i just hope that they will make it all work esp with the kids

    • Turro says:

      The man needs a new woman and quickly! Someone who provides him a new look, a new hair colour, etc. Remember all the fashion choices, like twins with Paltrow, Aniston and Jolie. Very weird and a little pathetic

      • Ennie says:

        Paltrow cut her hair like him. He was very blond and Aniston got her hair lighter and she got slimmer when with him. So, they changed for him, too. With AJ, he changed his hair often, mainly because of movies. He got that ugly beard that he also had with Aniston.
        I saw a pic where he looked… not so well, like if he slimmed down too fast and his face showed it… he was bloated, probably the munchies and alcohol have been stopped. He also was smiling like he wanted to congratulate himself with the cameras, widely but like if it was too much. I hope that he and his behavior do get better and he then gets to have the children. They need two good parents.

      • Foreing girl says:

        @ennie oh poor brad all these crazy women obsessed with him. Not really.

  10. chaine says:

    Can’t summon up any energy to care about Brangelina today.

    • Antonym says:

      I hear you, but at the same time I’m desperate for anything non-election related. I need an escape from the terrible reality.

  11. Ana says:

    The sunset of a movie star. Is what he looks like.

    • Turro says:

      @Ana not even close. Industry, media, avarage people and women (!?) loves him. he will be, always, the perfect golden boy. I’m sick of this man and his tactics to maintein an imagen of good dude.
      I don’t buy his shit any longer

      • Claudia says:

        @Turro I agree, I think what we are going to see is the sunset of Angelina Jolie, Pitt is the golden boy of Hollywood and Angelina is the f****d witch who distanced him from his friends and family and just want to destroy him .. And Jennifer Aniston did not want to have his children … Poor Brad…

      • crogirl says:

        Yes he’s got the industry on his side probably, and he knows it. His eyes just seem dead to me…

      • jinni says:

        @crogirl: His eyes look dead because he has yet to find the new woman whose personality/persona he can take as his own and pretend to be the male version of. Once he finds a new woman’s skin to wear he’ll look “alive” again.

      • Ana says:

        claudia
        No, Angelina has something special. Even those who hate her can’t resist her magnetism. It’s something that was born with her, or you have it or you don’t. The haters will always want to see how she looks, who will be her new lover. You can love her and you can hate her but never be indifferent to her.
        Just wait for her nest movie and you will see it. And Angelina is a master in re-inventing herself.

      • KB says:

        Are we looking at the same photo? How can you possibly tell if his eyes look dead? We can’t even see them.

    • TheOtherSam says:

      He looks fantastic, actually, Physically at least. Look at the photos again.

  12. crogirl says:

    @claudia
    I think we’ll still see great things from Jolie, hope she lives hollywood in the dust and move on to better things.

    • Meandyou says:

      Jolie will be at exactly the same level of dame she was pre Brad if she doesn’t milk that relationship and the fall out from it further like Aniston did. I think she’s better than that.

      If Brad is so devoid of personality that he takes on the personalities of the people he’s with, how come we all move on with him to the next woman he’s with? How come he’s more famous and has more star power than Goop, Aniston or Jolie? Please. Give the man some credit. You’re all selling him way short.

  13. smiles says:

    It would be great to see more of his friends come support him though. He needs them right now.

    • Yepisaidit says:

      Really? He’s the one who caused his family to be destroyed… Angelina and kids have to deal with the consequences but poor Brad needs his friends. What a joke.

      • Candies says:

        He can still be a father and they can adjust to new normal and be family. Kids are not weapons. Otherwise another generation of the same. Don’t do this to your kids as much as its hard .my opinion.

  14. Libra girl says:

    This movie looks great. Personal issues aside, I’d like to see it.

  15. BonnieJean says:

    I am going to see Moonlight — looks so good. Brad looks fine & I see relief in his face. As far as him being an attention whore…no. This is called work. His work. He’s got a family to feed & care for.

    • Yepisaidit says:

      Dude, he ditched his family. Angelina keeping full custody is what’s going to continue and he’s fine with that as long as it’s not made public cause then people will question whether or not he even cares about those poor kids. Brads a joke !!!

      • BonnieJean says:

        AJ with full custody is only temporary. He will get joint physical/legal custody sooner than later. I haven’t read anywhere that he ‘ditched’ his family. If that were true, why has he filed for joint custody?

      • Yepisaidit says:

        Bonnie, I think it’s going to be permanent but Brad and his team don’t want that to be public. He’ll publicly pretend he has joint custody while filming movies in London and his kids will be in LA with their mom. Angelina’s new team is not going to let her take the fall and will let us all know she has custody lol this is new for Brad as he is used to Angelina taking the fall for him

      • BonnieJean says:

        This is CA. It would be really unusual for him to not get joint custody & he did file for joint. I don’t think he is playing a pretend game. I do agree with you as far as Brad letting the women in his life take the fall — look at Jennifer Aniston.

      • Yepisaidit says:

        Did you read the statement her people put out ? I believe it was supposed to be kept under wraps but her team spilled the beans as a way to clear her name. Funny how that works- he abused his family but Angelina needs to clear her name.

    • Carmen says:

      Once the custody issue is settled, I don’t think Brad will bother to visit his children more than once a month, if that often. Brad is all about himself.

  16. Gwen says:

    Brad looks handsome but very thin. His jeans look like they are falling off him. And in that pic with Julia Roberts, his smile says one thing but his eyes say something different.

    • Sage says:

      You’re right, he looks thin but I think it’s cause he stopped drinking. In Allied, his face looks really puffy. Depp thinned out a little too after his crisis with Amber.

  17. jerkface says:

    Go away Brad. No one cares. We’ve got a human cheese puff with access to the nukie codes you are officially off the radar. BLAH

    • Sage says:

      @jerkface
      That is so scary! Donald Trump is THE President of the United States of America. It still has not sunk in.

      • jerkface says:

        Come with me. Let us play on the banks of a river named Denial. Swim swim swim.
        No but seriously don’t worry too much I’m sure something else crazy will happen. I keep mentioning aliens. There is STILL a chance that space aliens could get involved at some point. All the fun conspiracy shows say aliens guard our nuclear business and this is why people see UFO’s in certain areas. hahaha Anything can happen. Thats been proven yesterday.

      • lissanne says:

        I like that conspiracy about the aliens protecting us. That and a little wine should get me through the evening!

  18. molly says:

    Can”t stand j roberts. She’s a phoney american sweetheart. Acting like she & brad are besties. All he needs is M etheridge by his side & he’s back to his former life, while his wife & kids move forward without him in their life. So sad! Don’t choose this life over your family brad! Fight for them.

    • sage says:

      I like Julia. She’s an alpha female. I think Angelina and Julia have a few things in common.
      Though, It’s funny how she never received any hate or boards dedicated to her demise for supposedly home wrecking her husbands marriage.

      • LAK says:

        It was pre-social media so no comment boards for people to record their displeasure.

        That said, it is frequently rehashed so she didn’t get away with it.

  19. Candies says:

    I don’t think they wiil ever reconcile after both filed…its gonna be new era for both but you never know though…he looks nice.

  20. Lalu says:

    Best he’s looked in a long time. Maybe they just needed to admit it was over and move forward. I think this relationship made them both miserable. They were both looking awful.

    • Gwen says:

      Brad doesn’t look his best right here. He looks gaunt. His appearance shows everything he’s been through in the last two months.

  21. Jo says:

    All the 90s heartthrobs turned out to be disappointments ugh
    This man is 53 years old, go get your family, Brad.
    These friends supporting him will go home at the end of the day to their families.

    • Foreing girl says:

      @Jo are you familiarized with ‘mid-life crisis’ concept?
      all their are turn out at theirs fifties years

      Agree with you “These friends supporting him will go home at the end of the day to their families.”

    • Sage says:

      Keanu is still hot!!

      And, these friends will provide a shoulder to cry on. I think it’s nice Julia is there to support him. I’m sure Angelina has been depending on her brother for support.

      • Jo says:

        My apologies to keanu, his still hot and seems like a decent dude.

        Friends supporting you can be nice, but at 53 I would rather go home to a full house than an empty one. ( Specially if I had 6 children)

      • Foreing girl says:

        My apologies to Keanu, too. He always will be hot.

  22. crogirl says:

    KB “Are we looking at the same photo? How can you possibly tell if his eyes look dead? We can’t even see them.”

    @KB There is another picture where he and JR are hugging and he is smiling but to me his eyes look dead…

  23. Nicole says:

    Nobody has a clue what really went down in their relationship, or on the plane. People have obligations and work even through divorce. Her custody is temporary. Why is everyone acting like they have never made a mistake in life? We all have, unless everyone here is psychic and has more knowledge of the situation. Show some empathy for these people experiencing massive grief. Both of them deserve it, even if you feel they don’t. All humans make mistakes and hopefully he will be unlike my father and care and actively fight to heal himself and his family.

  24. TheOtherSam says:

    Pitt was just fully cleared by DCFS of child abuse charges. They are closing the case, done. They found no evidence of any abuse or pattern of abuse after investigating everything *exhaustively*.

    This paves the way for a joint custody agreement, either made between the parents or issued by the judge. I hope both parents will work with this, AND not be issuing anymore “statements” regarding this situation through reps or proxies.

    • Foreing girl says:

      Wow the timing between allied premiere and the “leak” about the investigation is IMPRESSIVE.

      Tmz is saying a worst thing that angie did the acussation, if this was true why tmz didnt make a big headline about it before? good work pr team. Pretty disgusting.

      • Claudia says:

        In a few days more, golden boy Brad Pitt never ever ever got drunk in the plane and never ever ever fight with his son… and evil Angelina only want to destroy him … This is his PR machine…

      • Lalu says:

        Were there really people that didn’t think she was the one that made the report?
        I thought she did… I thought it was quite clear when she asked for sole custody .
        I cannot believe these two are letting things go down like this. They worked for years on this image and just threw it all away. She is really mad at him. It’s a shame that she thought she had to use the kids as an excuse to divorce.

    • Lalu says:

      Wow. I am really happy to hear that the kids weren’t abused but I am still pretty worried for them to be in a situation like this. Something isn’t right. And they will be the ones to suffer.

      • BonnieJean says:

        Hi Lalu…just read the news that after exhaustive investigation there was no abuse or pattern of abuse by Brad. DCFS has officially closed the case. I am so relieved for the children at this point but I agree with you, something isn’t right about this whole situation. What will be brought up now, since the abuse allegations were unfounded?
