In a somber and deeply personal revelation that has stunned fans across the world, Hollywood icon Brad Pitt has come forward with an emotional announcement that has left many in disbelief.
The 61-year-old actor, known for his legendary performances in films like Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, took to social media this morning with a video message simply captioned: “Nobody believes me…”
In the heartfelt video, Pitt appeared visibly emotional as he opened up about his ongoing struggle with a rare neurological condition that he says has deeply affected his life over the past few years — prosopagnosia, commonly known as face blindness.
> “I’ve been trying to talk about this for a long time,” Pitt said. “Nobody believes me. Nobody understands how isolating it can be when you can’t recognize the faces of people you love or work with every day.
It’s not that I don’t care. I just… I genuinely can’t tell who’s who sometimes.”
This isn’t the first time Brad Pitt has mentioned this condition. In a 2022 interview, he briefly spoke about suspecting he had face blindness, but no formal diagnosis was ever made public — until now.
In his new announcement, Pitt revealed that he has finally received a confirmed diagnosis after undergoing a battery of neurological and psychological evaluations.
According to him, the condition has taken a serious toll on both his personal and professional relationships.
> “People have thought I’m arrogant, distant, or uninterested,” Pitt admitted. “But the truth is, I’m struggling every day to connect because my brain won’t let me recognize faces — even of people I’ve known for years.”
The actor went on to say that the emotional toll has led to periods of deep loneliness, anxiety, and even depression.
Though he has often been seen smiling on red carpets and appearing in interviews, he confessed that he’s been “hiding in plain sight,” afraid to admit just how much he’s been suffering.
The announcement has prompted an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Many have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to send messages of encouragement and admiration for his bravery in speaking out.
Pitt concluded the video with a message of hope:
> “If someone you know seems distant or awkward in social settings — don’t be so quick to judge. They might be dealing with something invisible. I hope my story helps others feel less alone.”
As of now, Pitt is continuing his work in film, with two projects currently in post-production. His team says he’s committed to using his platform to raise awareness about neurological disorders and promote mental health advocacy.
Though it was a difficult announcement, fans are praising Brad Pitt for showing the world that even our biggest stars are human — and that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
