Pitt opens up about confronting Weinstein
Hollywood star Brad Pitt says he confronted Harvey Weinstein after the disgraced producer made unwanted advances towards his then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow because he wanted to protect her. In an interview with CNN, the 55-year-old discussed the incident Paltrow, 46, spoke about in a May 2018 interview with Howard Stern.
"At that moment, I was just a boy from the Ozarks on the playground and that's how we confronted thing," Pitt said when asked what provoked him to confront the powerful producer. "I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen further because she was going to do two films (with Weinstein). I think the interesting thing is that we, Hollywood specifically, but the workplace, men and women's dynamics is being re-calibrated, re-calibrated in a very good way that is long overdue. And I do think that's an important story to tell," he added.
