Other celebrities bask in Brad Pitt’s glory

Brad Pitt is one of those stars that make other celebrities swoon.
Such was the case at the Monday premiere of Pitt’s latest film Inglourious Basterds, opening Aug. 21.

After arriving hand-in-hand with partner Angelina Jolie, Pitt blushed and waved off the adoration of other celebrities, even as Camryn Manheim snapped a few quick shots of him to send to friends.

“Aw, we all kind of know the game,” Pitt said shyly and with a nervous laugh, in reference to the other celebrities fawning over him.

In the film, Pitt plays anything but shy.

“I am a bit of a badass,” he says of his fast-talking, southern character, 1st Lt. Aldo Raine. “It’s a Quentin Tarantino movie, and badass just comes with the name Quentin Tarantino.”

There’s plenty of blood shed in the film that follows a group of American Jewish soldiers who are led by Pitt, and have one mission: kill as many Nazis as they can.

As for the film shoot, Pitt said, “It was outrageous. We had a great international cast. What made this film is that everyone was speaking in their own native languages, which is a bit of a reality that you don’t normally expect. It paid off so well.”
