Brad Pitt breaks down

Ranting and losing his temper, is he starting to show the strain?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are feeling the pressure

We thought Brad Pitt was usually too cool to lose it in public, but last Thursday the star blew his top at photographers – after they rescued him!

When Brad’s motorbike broke down in the street in LA, it was the paparazzi who came to his aid and gave him a lift. But Brad, who seemed on a knife edge, refused to say thank you.

‘Come on, I’ve got to go – I’m late for a meeting,’ he said, trying to get them to speed up, before losing his temper and insisting he’d rather walk than get a lift with the very paps who’d saved him.

Brad, who was stranded in a residential part of town and was wearing headgear with ‘Daddy’s helmet’ scrawled on the front of it, is no fan of the paparazzi, but usually manages to stay composed. So what led to his rudeness this time?

Coming as it does just two weeks after his partner Angelina Jolie burst into tears at a
World Refugee Day event, it’s hard not to see the strain showing on the couple.

Behind the scenes, Angelina’s fury at Brad’s growing closeness with his ex Jennifer Aniston has pushed them to breaking point.

Brad’s irritation might also have something to do with the fact that his latest movie Moneyball has been postponed, meaning his plans to spend the summer apart from Angelina are now in jeopardy.
