TOL Pompidou Center there are works of art, libraries and cinemas, and sometimes there is also Brad Pitt, who hangs around like a normal admission ticket buyer. With the pleasure of not being recognized and with the risk of being recognized. As it shows the photo posted by the Center on its Twitter profile. Caption: «Yes you are cool, but are you Brad Pitt in the Center Pompidou cool?“
With the VIPs at the museum we were left a Chiara Ferragniand his visits – between 2020 and 2021 – to the Uffizi in Florence and the Egyptian Museum of Turin.

Brad Pitt has a puzzled look
In beige overalls – but many users wrote that she is “in pajamas” – the Hollywood star poses next to a statue of a stylized woman, the famous Femme Debout from Alberto Giacometti.
Brad looks at her, a little perplexedafter having lowered the pink candy mask (we like to think he only did it at the time of the photo) and keeping his hands in his pockets. If it weren’t for his face, very recognizable, he would seem like any tourist – also rather neglected – visiting the city.

Given Brad Pitt’s slightly bewildered gaze at the artwork, the film comes to mind The Smart Holidays. In the opera, third episode of the collective film Where do you go on holiday?, Alberto Sordi and Anna Longhi interpret Remo and Augusta Proiettitwo true Roman fruit sellers who are preparing to take a vacation around Italy thought of by their three children.
The boys, snobbish and cultured, organized a tour dedicated to culture and dietbut the parents – genuine and a little buzziconi – they just want to eat food. Attracting the attention of nobles and princessesintrigued by their limitless overdoing.
But the scene from the movie aroused by Brad’s pose – a hyper-realistic statue pose – is the one in which Augusta (exhausted from the heat) is mistaken for a work of art by the patrons of the Venice Biennalethat seeing her motionless in the chair of an installation, they believe to be part of the artifact. They even give it a name: “Body lying on a chair.”
Twitter comments
Of course, the irony was unleashed on Twitter. Some have asked if Brad Pitt is a latest acquisition of the museum, directly from a “private collection”; others if that piece is “on sale“.
Still others posted a photo with the same statue in the background, claiming to be “much better us“. However, many still did not like the star lookcomparing it to “a homeless but with a mind-boggling bank account“.
In short, if the museum wanted to somehow draw attention to oneselfhe did it very well thanks to a work of art… in flesh and blood.
