Brad Pitt suffers from a rare eye disease

Brad Pitt revealed in an interview that he suffers from prosopagnosia, a rare eye disease that causes difficulty or inability to recognize faces.

The Hollywood star revealed to GQ magazine that her symptoms go back a long way. It was in 2013 that Brad Pitt became aware of this neurovisual disorder.

The Oscar-winning actor for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood said he worries about appearing “distant, unapproachable and self-absorbed” when he struggles to recognize faces, according to the article in the August edition of the men’s magazine.

In 2013, when he first spoke about the condition, he told Esquire magazine at the time that “so many people hate me because they think I’m disrespectful.”

In fact, when he sees a face, Brad Pitt says that the facial features are “a mystery” to him.

He adds, “I can’t grasp a face, and yet I come from design and aesthetics… That’s why I stay home,” assures the 58-year-old star.

For years now, Brad Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie have been at war in court over various issues. The couple is in the process of divorce since 2019 and is fighting for the custody of their children. They also clash in business. The most recent dispute is in France over Chateau Miraval in Provence.
