Here are some photos of Brad Pitt at a NYC screening of his new film, Fury, which comes out this Friday. Will you be seeing it? I might go. Maybe not opening weekend, but I have an interest in most WWII films and most critics say Fury is a great film. Brad wasn’t scheduled to appear at this screening, so he and his costars “surprised” the audience by introducing the film and passing out promotional t-shirts. Because Brad is great at hustling. That’s a trait that Brad and Angelina share: they are great at “turning it on” to promote their movies.

Since this wasn’t a real premiere, I’ll forgive Brad for his stupid outfit. The jeans are fine (he looks great in jeans almost always), but the shiny jacket and that stupid hat? Ugh, Brad. I guess it’s better than his beige-phase, when he wore the same khakis and thin beige t-shirt every single day for what felt like a year. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to forgive him for the hat though. Dear Brad: stop trying to be Johnny Depp! YOU ARE COOLER THAN JOHNNY DEPP.

Also: I thought this interview was maybe the cutest thing ever. This WWII vet was called in to consult on the production of Fury and he had absolutely no idea who Brad Pitt was, and even says that his initial reaction was “Who the hell is Brad Pitt?” But Brad won him over. This guy’s wife is totally into Brad though.

PS… Brad covers the new issue of Details – you can see the slideshow here. I’ll have coverage of the interview tomorrow!
