A slightly strange encounter, on a smoke break, behind the scenes of the Oscars ceremony. The interpreter of
The Artist tells this in the columns of
SoFilm : “Inside [de la zone
fumeur, NDLR]it's just me and Brad Pitt. To approach him, I start talking to him about his move to France.”
“ At the time, he had just bought his house in the Var. I tell him: 'So is Provence okay? Nice ?' “And him, in French with a heavy accent: 'France, nice, yes, but… uh… I need friends…' […] “It almost makes you want to answer him: 'But Brad, I want to be your friend.’”We don't know if he caught his 06. Or kept Brad's crushed cigarette butt as a souvenir.
