Brad Pitt opens up and makes candid revelation about his rare health condition

Brad Pitt, 60, is a Hollywood star and by today’s standards, a legend whom everyone recognizes from movies or television over the past few decades.

Recently, the legendary actor has opened up about a rare condition that he says complicates his life and has even led some people to outright hate him.

On stage or in front of the camera, you need to be sharp and skilled at memorizing your lines. Perhaps that’s why it’s quite surprising that Brad Pitt has issues with something akin to this.

According to the award-winning actor and producer, he believes he grapples with undiagnosed prosopagnosia, commonly referred to as ”face blindness.” Face blindness is a rare trait, affecting approximately 2.5% of people worldwide for genetic reasons.

In an interview with GQ magazine in 2022, Pitt discussed how the condition especially complicates social situations and meeting people in his life.

The star, in his own words, is unable to remember new people or recognize their faces almost ever.

”No one ever believes me!”, Pitt describes the situation when he has tried to explain it.

He has previously mentioned noticing symptoms of the condition as early as 2013. Face blindness and the difficulties it brings in remembering people have led many to imagine him as truly rude and dismissive.

“So many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them,” he said at the time. “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.”
