Brad Pitt brushes off bombshell FBI claim as he forms love hearts and flashes


A tireless workload continued on Friday as Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson promoted their latest film in South Korea

The Hollywood stars entertained a lively crowd in capital city Seoul, where a red carpet event was being held in honour of new movie Bullet Train. 

Pitt, 58, had started the day in a subdued blue denim co-ord for a promotional appearance at the city’s Conrad Hotel, but he was harder to miss that afternoon after changing into a garish powder pink suit.

The bright colour appeared to match his buoyant mood, with the Oscar winner showing no signs of distraction after a leaked FBI report offered further unsavoury details regarding his behaviour during a well documented mid-air row with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. 

With the controversy brushed to one side, Pitt appeared to be in a playful mood as he flashed peace signs with South Korean entertainer Park Kyung-lim before linking fingers with Taylor-Johnson to form the shape of a heart. 

The report released this week alleges he told Jolie, 47, one of her adopted children ‘looked like a f**king Columbine kid’ and said she was ‘ruining the family’ during a furious row aboard their private jet.

The Oscar-winning actress also filed images showing bruising to her hand and elbow to the FBI as part of an investigation into the couple’s ‘verbal and physical fight’ while travelling from France to Los Angeles on September 14, 2016.

Jolie claims while Pitt was in a chokehold, he threw his body back, causing Jolie to slam into chairs behind them, according to FBI documents which have yet to be publicly released but were obtained by several news outlets.

The actress claims she suffered injuries to her back and elbow as well as a ‘rug-burn type wound’ on her hand as a result.

Black-and-white images, which were included in the FBI report, show bruising to Jolie’s hand and elbow, reports Page Six.
