Brad Pitt recently told fans in a new interview that he has prosopagnosia, a rare face blindness disorder. As we know, people online can be ruthless, but it seems people in the actor's own social circle don't fully understand the condition.
Now, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor is defending himself and explaining what it's like to hear from people that don't believe him.
The 58-year-old has been busy working behind the scenes on lots of different Hollywood film projects that are either in pre or post-production. Just taking a glance at his wordy IMDb page I felt insanely unproductive.
To save you a quick Google search, prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize people’s faces, also referred to as face blindness.
"Nobody believes me!” he told the magazine. “I wanna meet another!"
“So many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them,” he told Esquire back in 2013. “Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I’ll say, ‘Thank you for helping me.'"
"You get this thing, like, ‘You’re being egotistical. You’re being conceited,'" he told the outlet at the time, adding that he "piss[ed] more people off," while trying to use coping strategies.
Despite saying he was going to get tested nearly 10 years ago, I hope the reaction to this new GQ interview prompts him to do so!
