Brad Pitt Channels 'Once Upon a Time' Character at San Sebastian Film Festival
The actor sported a familiar look, reminiscent of his role as Cliff Booth, while promoting his new film 'Heart of the Beast'.
Brad Pitt, 62, drew parallels to his character Cliff Booth from Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' at the San Sebastian Film Festival on Wednesday. The actor appeared at a photocall for his latest film, 'Heart of the Beast,' dressed in double denim, sunglasses, and tan suede shoes, echoing the style of his 2019 film persona.
Pitt was in good spirits, engaging with fans and participating in a question-and-answer session about 'Heart of the Beast.' In the film, Pitt portrays James Belmont, a retired Special Forces officer who, along with his combat dog Odin, must survive a plane crash in the remote Alaskan wilderness.
The San Sebastian appearance comes ahead of a project described by Pitt as an 'episode' rather than a direct sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' This project, titled 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,' is based on a script by Quentin Tarantino and is slated for release in IMAX theaters globally on November 25.
Pitt's arrival at the festival followed reports from sources close to the actor discussing his past marriage to Angelina Jolie. According to these sources, Pitt has been focused on his personal well-being and is in a positive place, having previously characterized his marital issues as an "Angelina problem" rather than a "drink problem." Pitt and Jolie separated in September 2016. Jolie recently expressed a desire to become more nomadic in her life following the 18th birthday of their youngest children, twins Vivienne and Knox.
