Those awe-inspiring photos of Brad Pitt posing as a super-hot laborer for Habitat for Humanity were taken in the span of fifteen minutes. Pitt spent just fifteen minutes on the job site in Malavli where a home was being constructed for a deserving Indian family. 82 year-old Jimmy Carter and his wife worked all day, only taking a break for lunch.
MALAVLI: After dodging the media in Pune and Jaipur for close to a month, Hollywood star Brad Pitt made a sudden appearance at Malavli village near Lonavla on Monday, where he joined former US President Jimmy Carter to construct houses for the poor.
For the 2,000-plus foreign and Indian volunteers engaged in constructing 100 houses in a week, it was an amazing sight to observe the 82-year-old Nobel laureate laying bricks and cement alongside the muscular Pitt. His appearance at the site, 56 km from Pune, around Monday noon took everybody off guard. The hunky actor — sporting a grey hat and dark jeans — surrounded by private security went to house number 73, where Carter and his wife Rosalynn were working.
The trio exchanged greetings and talked for a few minutes, before Pitt joined the former US first couple in voluntary physical labour, involving laying of concrete blocks and cement at the house.
After spending about quarter of an hour with the couple, the actor went to the restricted zone at the back of the site and made his departure unnoticed.
The Carters, in jeans and sports shoes, worked for long hours on Monday at the site undertaking all tasks related with masonry and only took a lunch break. Jimmy Carter’s advanced age failed to dampen his enthusiasm as he climbed ladders and lifted huge concrete castings with ease.
At least Pitt put in an appearance to help publicize the charity, but it seems like he could have contributed a couple of hours at least. He got all the credit without having to do much work. He has a bunch of kids so he has an excuse I guess.
Thanks to Gossip Rocks for linking this story.
Here are a bunch of recent pictures taken in Pune of Brad and Angelina, along with Pitt working at the job site. Thanks to JJB Faded Youth and Just Jared for these pics. Angelina is too freaking thin. She needs to eat more.
The WordPress software says this is our 2,000 post! (It’s probably like 20-30 less than that due to drafts and rewrites, but still that’s pretty awesome.) We launched at the end of February, 2006 so that’s pretty decent. Thanks for helping us grow.
Congratulations to 2,000 posts =)
Brad is such a wimp. This totally reminds me of Brad saying he and Angie won’t get married until the gays can, please, how boring!
Again, printing a non true story about this couple. If you read the people story, it says he came at noon and stayed until sundown. Of course, it reads better if it said he only stayed for 15 minutes. Like the Angelina story. They stole her money, not the other way round. The internet is a dangerous place if you like the truth, not just about this couple, but in general. Rumor and lies are what sells this type of nonesense!
It’s a print source that also post this article on their website. Rumor and conjecture have been around since the beginning of time, it’s not the Internet’s fault, but it does make it quicker and more fun.
The “Internet” is an oversimplified and inaccurate target. Just because People says they stayed until sundown doesn’t necessarily mean that’s true, either. This is a local newspaper. It’s possible that they know the truth and People’s source is Brangelina’s PR rep.
Hah I knew that skeez was a fake. He sucks
Jimmy Carter is a real man. He is a great man and his ongoing contributions to Habitat should set an example for all of us to volunteer our time. I don’t fault Brad and Angelina for their charity work, but it does seem a bit self-promoting at times.
This is not true, you are writing lies about Brad Pitt, if you go to pittwatch.com and people.com you will see that he was not there for just 15 min. so stop writing garbage!!!Just because you do not like him does not mean you have write crap!!! but you always have great pictures!!!
Personally, I’d believe Celebitchy over overtly biased news like Pittwatch (all about the Pits) and People (all info given by their PR people) any day! Sometimes crap really is the truth. It’s the others who have more a reason to lie.
i like the part where it says he had to leave early to take care of his kids….right, whatever you say.
they forgot the part about him curing cancer & farting perfume.
