Brad Pitt in High Spirits as He Charms Fans at London Premiere of Allied

BY PHIL BOUCHER
NOVEMBER 21, 2016



Brad Pitt is firing up some serious star power.

The actor was in high spirits while attending the London premiere of his World War II spy drama Allied on Monday night.

Stepping onto the red carpet on a typically damp British night, the actor spent 45 minutes laughing, joking and waving to the crowd, before breaking into a broad smile during a red carpet interview about the movie — which harks back to the golden age of Hollywood movies such as Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon.

“They shot most of it on a soundstage, but using all the new technology we have today,” Pitt, 52, told the audience at London’s Leicester Square. “So you don’t know if we are on location or not. A lot of times we were just sitting in cars, you know, with the film screen rolling behind us.

“The hours were shorter. The travel was shorter. But it was really good fun to try something like that,” he added.

Pitt then broke into a broad smirk as he was told that costar Marion Cotillard — whom he described as “a gem” and “one of France’s national treasures” — had praised his French accent in the film, he asked with a laugh, “Did she? She usually crushes me. She kills me!”

Adopting a slightly more serious tone, Cotillard, 41, added that to her, the movie was like “diving, in a way, into my childhood dreams” because it reflected so many “American movies from the ’40s and ’50s” she had grown up watching as a child.

She also revealed that she and Pitt had become friends during filming simply because of the way it was put together. “We had the chance to work for almost three weeks together before we started shooting,” said Cotillard. “It is something that is really amazing and is not that common, to have this period of time where we get to know each other and we get to talk about the script a lot and share our thoughts and to get to know each other. That was very special.”

Monday was the second night in a row that Cotillard and Pitt hit a European red carpet together. On Sunday, the pair made a stop in Paris, where Pitt was in an equally playful mood.

Telling reporters he was intrigued by the film’s plot – which details a couple’s intensely stressful marriage – Pitt said, “I got really intrigued by this idea of a couple and trust and trusting your instinct, trusting each other, trusting the mission and here we are.”

The actor’s good spirits come after months of keeping a low profile following his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Pitt and Cotillard now move onto Madrid for the Spanish premiere of the movie, which hits theaters Nov. 23.

Brad Pitt All Smiles at 'Allied' Premiere in China -- See the Pics!

by Antoinette Bueno  November 14, 2016



Brad Pitt appeared to be in a pretty great mood on Monday, promoting Allied in Shanghai, China. The visit marked his first promotional appearance for a movie in China since reportedly being banned over his 1997 film, Seven Years in Tibet, due to its portrayal of harsh Chinese rule in the Himalayan region.

The 52-year-old actor looked svelte in an all-black outfit, looking youthful as always.

Pitt signed autographs for fans for 40 minutes, and questions were strictly limited to the film itself, and not about his recent divorce from Angelina Jolie.

"It's a nod to the classic films of the past," Pitt said about his new romantic thriller co-starring actress Marion Cotillard. "It's got good set pieces, good sense of action, but ultimately it's one of those really strong romantic thrillers that many of the classics are based in, so it's kind of got everything. We think it's one for everyone, it's why we wanted to bring it here. So, it's great to get started."

Pitt also acknowledged Chinese cinema.

"It's a great honor for us to start with the film here," he said. "It's amazing for us. Your film industry has been exploding in the best of ways that we have great respect for, and to have our film play in this arena is a real, again, a real honor for us and we think we've got something that you'll really like. So, we just hope you enjoy it and thank you so much."

Brad Pitt Makes Red Carpet Appearance At 'Allied' LA Premiere

NOVEMBER 10, 2016 6:05 AM PST

Brad Pitt hit the red carpet on Wednesday night for the Los Angeles premiere of "Allied," his new espionage-themed film, set during World War II.

The actor was greeted by fans at the event and signed many autographs.

When asked by Dave Karger during a Facebook Live video stream (on the red carpet) about whether his hand hurt from so much signing, Brad shared his appreciation for the support he received at the event.

"It’s really sweet. Everyone has been really kind out here, and it's really nice to have all the support," he said.

Brad discussed being a World War II buff during the interview, which focused on the movie.


"I do seem to end up in a World War II film as of late," he said. "I didn't know much about the espionage world and what it took to get behind enemy lines, and to plant your characters. That was really interesting."

Brad stars alongside Marion Cotillard in "Allied," and speaks French in the movie. But, despite having spent time in France, as Dave noted, Brad hasn't mastered the language, the actor said.

"Yeah, not really. No, no, no," Brad said, when Dave said something to him in French. "And according got Marion, not so good. ... But yeah, I had to work at it really, really hard just to get that far. I say I'm going to get this language, but it may take me a lifetime."

"Allied" hits theaters on November 23, 2016.

Marion Cotillard Dazzles In Navy Blue Gown On ‘Allied’ Premiere Red Carpet

November 9, 2016 10:34pm EST by Olivia Elgart

Marion Cotillard looked absolutely stunning at the Nov. 9th LA premiere of her new film, ‘Allied.’ She always manages to steal the show on the red carpet so we’re not surprised that she showed up in this stunning ensemble. We loved her entire red carpet look from head-to-toe, did you?

Marion Cotillard, 41, looked drop-dead-gorgeous at the LA premiere of highly anticipated new film, Allied, which is a WWII love story, spy drama. She looked flawless next to her dreamy co-star, Brad Pitt, 52, and we can’t even handle how beautiful they both are.

Marion has rarely stepped out in public since revealing that she is pregnant with long-time partner, Guillaume Canet, and we’re so happy we finally got to see her all dolled up! The last time she headed to an event was back in September for the Christian Dior show at Paris Fashion Week.

As always, Marion looked so classy and elegant in this gorgeous gown and we can’t stop staring. This time, she showed up in a sleek navy blue gown with a high neck and no sleeves that gently highlighted her growing baby bump. So cute! Her brown bob was gently curled with swooping bangs, and her subtle brown smokey eye and pink lip took a backseat to her dazzling giant diamond earrings. Such a stunning look!

Aside from Marion looking absolutely stunning on the carpet, we need to talk about Brad! This premiere officially marks Brad Pitt’s first red carpet since his split with Angelina Jolie, 41, and he looked just as handsome as ever. After all the cheating rumors circulating around Brad and Marion, and then Brad splitting up with Angie — the drama has had us on our toes waiting for this premiere night to come! As always, Brad looked absolutely perfect and we were so happy to see him in high spirits again.

We cannot wait for Allied to hit theaters on November 23, can you? What did you guys think of Marion’s red carpet ensemble?

Brad Pitt to walk first red carpet since Angelina Jolie split

By Ian Mohr November 7, 2016

Brad Pitt will walk the red carpet at the premiere of his World War II movie “Allied” during his divorce battle with Angelina Jolie, sources tell Page Six, despite reports he’s pulled out of all press for the film.

Reports have said Pitt is passing on all press for the film as a bitter custody battle with Jolie over their six kids has heated up.

There have also been rumors of romance between Pitt and his co-star Marion Cotillard, which the stars have denied. She also revealed that she’s pregnant with her second child, with longtime partner Guillaume Canet.

Although reports this week said he’s pulled out of promotional commitments for the film, including junkets and talk shows, sources told Page Six he is planning to be at the movie’s premiere in Westwood, Calif., on Wednesday, and studio Paramount confirmed he’ll be attending.

“He is maintaining multiple commitments for the film,” said a source. “He doesn’t usually do much press anyway” for projects.

The movie opens over Thanksgiving weekend.

While Pitt quietly filed for joint custody of their kids late on Friday, reports said
Monday that Jolie’s gearing up for a major battle — and a source close to the actress reportedly told TMZ that “until he gets his s - - t together,” Jolie wants Pitt to have “monitored visitation.” Jolie slapped Pitt with the bombshell divorce in September following an alleged incident between Pitt and the couple’s eldest son, Maddox, 15, on a private jet.

Pitt’s court papers filed late Friday — a time when celebs traditionally try to bury news — were the first filed in the divorce. He has strongly denied any allegations involving abuse of his and Jolie’s kids. An entertainment source said of Pitt that despite all the drama, “he is trying to get as little attention as possible — he wants to resolve this situation — he is not fighting anything, he is simply asserting his rights to his kids.”

Reps for Pitt and Jolie didn’t comment.
