Brad gives Basterds a boost in Berlin

Posted by Jane Murphy

 

Cast your minds back to last week - ah, it all seems so long ago now, doesn’t it? - and you may recall how Brad Pitt was notably absent from the UK premiere of Inglourious Basterds due to being on babysitting duty back home.

But there were no such disappointments in Berlin last night - as Brad joined director Quentin Tarantino and the rest of the cast for the movie’s first screening in Germany.

By the way, don’t be alarmed by the stern-looking picture of Brad at the pre-premiere photo call (above). He seemed to cheer up considerably as the day continued - and was happy to sign autographs for fans outside the cinema…

 

And he later headed off for a beer or six at the after-show party…

 

…where co-star Diane Kruger had her picture taken with a fan, too…

 

So how did Brad end up starring in the latest Tarantino movie? “Quentin came to visit sometime at the end of last summer - and we talked about back-story and we talked about movies,” he explains.

“I get up the next morning and see five empty bottles of wine right on the floor. Five! And something that resembled a smoking apparatus - I don’t know what that was about - and apparently I had agreed to do this film.”
