He doesn’t even stay in the capital for 24 hours: Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
On Monday evening, the actor floated in, slightly late, at 10:47 p.m. from Paris at BER Airport.
Despite the late hour, around 50 fans were waiting at the GAT business aircraft terminal. Pitt waved briefly, then drove to the hotel.

He stayed at the Soho House (Prenzlauer Berg), the rest of the team at the Hotel Adlon (centre). Pitt is presenting his new film “Bullet Train” in Berlin. In the two-hour action-thriller he plays a hitman who meets a bunch of dangerous “colleagues” on a Japanese express train between Tokyo and Kyoto. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on August 4th.
At noon, the film team completed a photo session on the roof of the Academy of Arts with a view towards the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, before a press conference in the Adlon. Pitt showed boldness for color, wearing a pink outfit.
At 6.30 p.m. the film team was expected at the red carpet in front of the Zoo Palast. Pitt’s departure was scheduled for 9:15 p.m.
