Sometimes paparazzi can be annoying during movie promotions. Of course, actors would like to share about their movies with them, but it gets overwhelming sometimes. ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ cast has it figured out all. Don Cheadle shares about their ultimate weapon to avoid the paparazzi, Brad Pitt.
If the paparazzi would approach Don Cheadle when he’s with George Clooney or Matt Damon, they would direct them to Brad Pitt and it would distract them.
Brad Pitt Is The Ultimate Weapon For ‘Ocean’s Twelves‘ Cast
Don Cheadle knows the way around the paparazzi. His secret weapon to avoid constant flashing lights is his co-actor Brad Pitt. “When we were in Italy where we shot the second one, we had one full floor of a hotel. We kinda had to, because, I mean, ‘paparazzi’ is an Italian word,” Cheadle said on Conan O’Brien’s Needs a Friend podcast.

He continued, “If the paparazzi would come, I’d be with George or Matt or something and we’d go, ‘Look there’s Brad!’ and they’d just all — ” and Cheadle made a ‘whoosh!’ gesture. “‘Is that Brad?!’”
Brad Pitt’s Stardom Was High During The Time Of ‘Ocean’s Twelve’
Cheadle added that Brad Pitt’s stardom was already very high during the time of ‘Ocean’s Twelve‘ which was already hard to capitalize on.
He said, “I can still pretty much just go around. “I don’t get bothered that much. Somebody will say something or I’ll know somebody will recognize me, but for the most part, I am low-key — I don’t think Brad can be…. He can’t go anywhere.”

Cheadle also added his views on fame and calls it “hard” and they are paid for being that way. He added, “People are like, ‘Well, what did you expect?’ They think that’s the contract: ‘I should get to walk up to you and put my hat on your head and go take a picture”.
“What’s wrong? I paid for this.’ ‘Well no. I did that thing, and you paid for that thing and we shook hands, and now I’m just a person out here, too”, he continued.
