Not everyone knows, but Brad Pitt has prosopagnosia. Surprised? Me too. How can an internationally awarded actor not recognize people around him? Well, he manages it, and pretty well. Of course, it interferes his life, mainly in his career. People usually say he is rude, a cock, when he actually cannot remember them.
Check this quote from an interview of Brad Pitt to the magazine Esquire in May 20, 2013 by Tom Junod:
"So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them," he says. "So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'Okay, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I'll say, 'Thank you for helping me.' But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited.' But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested."¹
