Brad Pitt swears he suffers from prosopagnosia, a rare face blindness disorder, but nobody believes him.
Pitt, 58, said in his GQ August 2022 cover story that he wants to meet another person who also experiences the condition.
Even though he hasn’t been formally diagnosed, Pitt worries about appearing remote, aloof, inaccessible and self-absorbed while struggling to recognize faces.
Pitt first spoke about his suspicions that he has prosopagnosia in 2013. “So many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them,” he told Esquire at the time. “Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I’ll say, Thank you for helping me,” he continued.
Although, he tried copping to his struggles at one point, he said he only “pissed more people off.”
Pitt explained, “You get this thing, like, you’re being egotistical. You’re being conceited.”
Pitt claims facial features are “a mystery,” explaining, “I can’t grasp a face, and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested. … That’s why I stay at home.”
