Stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio (45), Charlize Theron (44) and Renée Zellweger (50) came together at the annual Oscar nominee lunch in Hollywood. One showed a lot of humor: Brad Pitt (56). The Hollywood star had a clearly visible name tag on the chest pocket of his suit. He not only ensured that everyone really recognized him, but also for laughter on social media.
Each of the participants in this lunch was given a sign with his name on it. Nobody wore this as prominently as Pitt. It read "Brad Pitt. Actor in a supporting role, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood". Especially when talking to Cynthia Erivo (33, "Bad Times at the El Royale"), who was nominated this year as the best actress for the film "Harriet", the sign stood out conspicuously.
This is how the fans react
The amazed reactions of the fans were not long in coming. A Twitter user wrote about the photos of Pitt and Erivo: "Hello, my name is Brad Pitt if you haven't seen the name tag." Another tweeted, "I like that Brad Pitt had a damn name tag the first time the Oscar nominees met, although people knew 100 percent who he was."
Most users found the action hilarious. A user wrote: "Brad Pitt's name tag at the Oscar nominees' lunch deserves its own Oscar." Another hopes that Pitt will also wear a name tag at the Oscars.
The actor is nominated for an Oscar for his role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood". Pitt has already received a SAG Award and a Golden Globe Award for this.
