I saw Brad Pitt on a rainy afternoon a few days before the Oscars. I had my hair cut that morning by my longtime L.A. stylist and I looked fierce. And you know how when you feel good it shows? Anyway, I was flitting around, doing errands, and it started to rain. Naturally I didn’t have an umbrella with me. I ran into the drugstore and shook the rain off. I noticed someone walking towards me and looked up. I saw a really handsome, dark haired man with a tan. I couldn’t help it, I stared at him. My first thought was, “This guy is gorgeous.” It suddenly occurred to me he might be a celebrity, (keep in mind all this happened really fast!) Just as I realized that he might be someone famous, the guy gave me a big, sexy, shit-eating grin and said “Hi.” I said, “Hi,” and smiled back. He walked out of the store. I knew that smile from countless films. And I suddenly said to myself, “Damnnnnn, that was Brad Pitt! And he smiled at me! He looked mighty fine with brown hair too!”
Best. Celebrity. Sighting. Ever.
All I can say is Angelina is one lucky gal.
That’s the way I’d want to see any hot celebrity: long enough to melt, but not long enough (at least, in my case) to open my mouth and say something really lame.
FROM LISA B. - I know, it was great!
No Ron?
FROM LISA B. - I just saw Ron from a distance and my friend pointed him out. No drama
Okay, Brad Pitt totally trumps Chelsea Clinton and you actually got to see Brad, I just heard about Chelsea.
FROM LISA B. - Not a contest my friend, a celeb is a celeb is a celeb
Brad Pitt? Like THE Brad Pitt???
So… you take him… and I’ll take the Foreign Baby Factory, k?
FROM LISA B. - That’s exactly how I felt… That’s Brad Pitt, THE Brad Pitt!!!
It’s a deal
I say the best part is that it happened when you were looking FIERCE. Because that’s when all celeb sightings should happen.
FROM LISA B. - Dagny, you and I are obviously kindred spirits!
Nice!! Maybe you bowled him over in the same way he bowled you over.
FROM LISA B. - As much as I wish that were the case, I think he probably just thought I was kinda cute
Thanks for the thought!!!
Oh wow! That is one for your memory book. A hot celebrity sighting and he spoke to you– while you were dripping wet! Could it get much steamier than that? You lucky gal you!!
FROM LISA B. - I will definitely never forget that one. And I’ve seen/worked with a lot of celebs. I’m WAY lucky
Man, you just know Brad and Angie are having the hottest sex around. Except for, you know, those of us posting here …
FROM LISA B. - Kat, I know. I can’t even think about Brad and Angie’s sex life without a stiff drink
Yes, bloggers are known for their wild and wooly adventures. LOL.
That’s amazing! Too bad he didn’t offer to take his shirt off or offer to autograph a body part!
I wonder how he gave the papparazzii the slip… You are so lucky!
FROM LISA B. - Se7, I don’t think either of us are the types to autograph body parts. Just the smile was enough!!!
As for the paps, the brown hair threw me for a minute. I’m sure it did them as well.
I’d say it is Brad who is the lucky one.
FROM LISA B. - Awww, thanks Andy!!!
that’s kinda how I felt a couple of weekes ago when Lenny Kravitz walked past me and smiled – I was all wow that’s a really handsome (though short!) man especially for handsome man-challenged Vancouver and oh, wait, that’s LENNY KRAVITZ!!!!!
and while not a huge Brad fan, he is rather spectacular looking in person (Whistler while he was filming 7 years in tibet …)
FROM LISA B. - I’m fairly jaded about celebrities, but some of the sightings really rock
wait…no paporaz around anywhere???? i am very jealousssssssssssss
FROM LISA B. - No paps – it was awesome!!!
People reckon I look like Brad Pitt.
Crazy People. But, still. People.
FROM LISA B. - You mean you don’t?
…and you got a “smile” and a “HI”!!!!!
FROM LISA B. - I know! I was beyond jazzed!!!
Wow. That’s an awesome sighting. It’s pretty cool that he said hi, too.
That must have been SOME haircut! LOL
FROM LISA B. - I know, it was wonderful!
LOL @ the haircut
Hey Lisa, That sounds fun! My barber is a guy from Milan, Italy and he is “a FAN-a-tic” for Steven Segal movies (he plays tapes of them while I get a shampoo and hair cut). He almost fainted when I told him I had briefly met Segal in Chicago!
FROM LISA B. - It was fun!
When in LA, you have to be ready for these things. Celebrities are shopping everywhere.
FROM LISA B. - Exactly, Hoss
Great story!
FROM LISA B. - Thanks!
I saw him in that “I’m F*ing Ben Affleck” video on Jimmy KImmel and I was surprised by the dark hair. I mucho prefer him blonde. No wonder it took you a minute to figure it out. Even in Lalaland, you don’t expect to see a big star like that in a drugstore!
Great story, Lisa!
FROM LISA B. - I didn’t love the dark hair but it did made his eyes pop. In a good way!
It was beyond fun
Celeb sightings/chats (of any variety) are pretty cool. But hey, they’re people living lives too, right?
FROM LISA B. - They are real people??? Who’da thunk it?
Great Brad Pitt sighting! Once I saw him walking with a friend passing my apartment building. I was just standing there at the corner. he looked really scruffy. My friend got to dance with him at at her birthday party in some bar too.
FROM LISA B. - It was great! Wow, your friend is lucky!
PPFFFTTT….I heard Brad may be gay. I’m just sayin’…..
Don’t shoot the messenger :p
FROM LISA B. - Brad is NOT gay!! Ppffftttt
Jealous much? LOL!
Lucky, lucky you!
Good for you for not throwing yourself at him or saying something idiotic. Always a threat in that situation. I’ve seen totally normal people just lose it. I’m still pretty good though. I’ve perfected my big smile and nod.
My wife is now officially jealous of you. She’s just not sure whether it’s more for seeing Brad Pitt or for getting that close to Angelina.
