From an interview with director Steve McQueen.
McQUEEN I met Brad [Pitt, co-founder of Plan B] and he was very receptive. He didn’t blink.
GARDNER He loved the script and wanted to help get it made, which I think we all knew would entail his being in it. [Pitt plays a small but critical role as a Canadian carpenter and opponent of slavery who helps Northup secure his freedom.]
The Oscar-winning actor is once again teaming up with luxury coffee brand De’Longhi for another iteration of the “Perfetto” campaign in honor of their new product launches. PEOPLE has exclusive photos of the collaboration with Pitt, who’s the company’s global brand ambassador.
Pitt is cool and calm in the series of photos that feature a European backdrop. From roaming cobblestone streets to rolling up in a vintage car, Pitt is meant to exude Mediterranean luxury in the portraits. Of course, he also sips on De’Longhi drinks in the photos.
“For me, coffee is not just a simple drink, it creates connections, it allows you to carve out a moment dedicated to yourself, take a break and enjoy the moment,” Pitt said in a statement.
Brad Pitt finally got to take home his brand-new custom motorcycle this week.
The “Bullet Train” star had to patiently wait for his new “BMW Bobber” to be built by the Pasadena, California-based motorcycle manufacturer, Roughchild.
In a post uploaded to Roughchild’s Instagram page, the company — who specialize in “Air-Cooled BMW Motorcycles modernized and optimized to the highest standard for performance and safety,” per their bio — revealed that production on Pitt’s two-wheeled vehicle began “earlier this year.”
“The appreciation of fine machinery will unite all men. Here’s Brad taking delivery of the Bobber we built him earlier this year,” read the caption featured alongside pics of the actor posing with his motorcycle.
In the comment section of Roughchild’s post, film photographer Frank Masi pointed at Pitt’s collection of “beautiful Custom bikes.
“I photographed Brad on ‘Troy’ and we had lots of great discussions about bikes. I know he’s got some beautiful Custom bikes, but this one takes the cake. Congrats what a beauty!” Masi wrote.
Movie buffs may recognize this acclaimed actor who flew in from Hollywood last week to ride the Dolomites. Five nights in a stunning 5-star hotel, one thousand kilometers on a new and fully loaded GS, a private tour guide, and a mechanic in a support car… living the good live can be so, uhm, good!
He loves those mighty rock towers, the lush, green valleys, and the twisty roads that connect them.
Brad had a small cameo in the 1987 movie ‘No Way Out‘, starring Kevin Costner. He attends a party and can be seen on the left side of the screen in a scene with Kevin. Sure looks adorable. I had no idea, so this was a great find. You can check out the clip below, but you can also download it at the BP Media page.
