BRAD IS BACK!
When Brad Pitt made his way backstage after his emotional Oscar acceptance speech, he first gave presenter Regina King a long, warm hug before letting out an audible but quiet sigh. “Whoooo,” he said to no-one in particular, taking a long sip of water as dozens of well-wishers started to congratulate him. “I’m just trying to catch my breath!”
It’s been a whirlwind couple of months for Pitt, 56. For much of the past few years, in the wake of his difficult divorce from Angelina Jolie, he had rarely been seen in public, let alone on red, he embraced awards season – and showed off the easygoing charisma fans first fell in love with back in 1991’s . “I wanted to bring my mum, but I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating,” he joked at the Golden Globes, then opened his Screen Actors Guild Awards speech by saying he would put the statuette on his Tinder profile. But nabbing his first Oscar for acting (after four nominations) capped his remarkable comeback – and his voice caught as his speech took an emotional turn.
