Reminder
Spanish police arrested five people for impersonating Brad Pitt in order to scam women by convincing them that the famed Hollywood actor was in love with them. The two women targeted by the online scammers lost a combined €325,000 ($364,000), Spanish media reported.
The scammers then sent WhatsApp messages and emails pretending to be Pitt (who does not have any social media presence) and promised future romantic relationships.
“My love for you is true. Feeling from my heart and forever, please forgive me and accept me … it is because I love you and am very much in love with you,” one handwritten letter that was found during a search of the criminals’ property reads, according to Times of London.
In a statement to the New York Times, Matthew Hiltzik— a publicist to Pitt—issued a warning about the risks of scams and reminded the public that the actor doesn’t have a social media presence.

PS. It blows my mind that people really fall for these scams still. Realise that Brad does not have any social media, no Instagram, no Facebook, nothing. Please do not trust anyone that approaches you on behalf of him.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon are having a date night for a good cause!
On Saturday, Sept. 21, the Wolfs actor and jewelry designer stepped out at EBMRF’s star-studded Rock4EB event, which raises funds for research and to find a cure for the rare skin condition epidermolysis bullosa.
Pitt, 60, sported a white button-up shirt and tan pants with a wide yellow check pattern, while de Ramon, 31, looked chic in a fashionable white tank-top and a pair of tan pants. She carried a sweater with her, and accessorized her look with a long gold necklace and tan handbag. The couple also both wore stylish shades during the sunny day in Malibu.
Pitt sat next to de Ramon, smiling throughout the night, though the actor also made sure to take a few photos with children in attendance.

Jeff Nichols’ ‘Land of Opportunity,’ Starring Brad Pitt, to Shoot in May 2025
Nichols is gearing up to shoot “Land of Opportunity” which I had previously reported had Brad Pitt in talks to star. At the time, Pitt had only read the script, and his participation was still not official. Production List now has a May 2025 shoot set up for the film in Arkansas.
In the early 2010s, Nichols sold a script to HBO for the pilot episode of a TV series he wrote, it was called “Land of Opportunity.” It’s said to be a “dystopian story” set in Arkansas, about a new Great Depression where oil has run out and the dollar has collapsed. However, HBO chose not to go ahead with the project and instead Nichols has now turned it into a feature length film.
