Brad Pitt’s Wildest Role Yet in This 18+ Action Flick – Catch It Now on Netflix!

With over 109 movies and an Oscar under his belt, Brad Pitt is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s biggest luminaries. At 61, he has worked with esteemed filmmakers and shared the screen with many prestigious co-stars.

Throughout his expansive career, Brad Pitt has met countless individuals… whom he doesn’t always recognize! Indeed, the actor suffers from prosopagnosia.

This lesser-known disorder affects facial recognition abilities. Individuals with prosopagnosia struggle to recognize faces, including those of friends, family members, and sometimes even their own.

Pitt previously discussed the issue years ago in an interview with Esquire, admitting that it caused him quite a few problems in Hollywood. “So many people hate me because they think I’m disregarding them,” he said, “They think I’m self-absorbed or arrogant, but it’s a mystery to me. That’s why I stay at home.”

Brad Pitt Pokes Fun at Himself in This Action Movie Available on Netflix

Although Brad Pitt still deals with prosopagnosia, he manages to see the humorous side! He seized the opportunity to nod at it in one of his recent movies. This occurs in Bullet Train, still available for one more week on Netflix, where it’s rated for adults only. Be aware, it will soon leave the platform!

In this fun-filled and violent action movie directed by David Leitch and released in 2022, Brad Pitt plays Ladybug, an unlucky assassin determined to peacefully complete his new mission after too many previous ones went off the rails.

However, fate has other plans, and he finds himself on the world’s fastest train alongside formidable adversaries who share a common link but have vastly different agendas… He must then attempt by all means to get off the train.

In one of Bullet Train’s scenes, Ladybug claims he never forgets a face and that he’s an expert in facial recognition, yet he fails to remember Wolf (Bad Bunny), the man who wanted to kill him. When he finally remembers, it serves as a sort of epiphany for the character.

With this scene, Brad Pitt subtly references his prosopagnosia and mocks himself, as he does throughout the film, not taking himself too seriously in this comedic action movie. He stars alongside Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Sandra Bullock, Zazie Beetz, and Logan Lerman.

“Bullet Train” will leave Netflix’s catalog on August 14.
