Brad Pitt is easily one of if not the biggest superstars in Hollywood right now. The actor has acted in dozens of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. Pitt, who is also a producer, has won an Oscar, a BAFTA Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award.
Despite achieving all the success an actor can imagine, the ‘Fight Club‘ actor is not on social media. This is unlike most of his contemporaries who love to share their pictures on the internet. Is it because he is a private person or is there another reason? Let’s try and find out.
The Reason Behind Brad Pitt’s Refrain From Social Media
At a time when people and celebs are going crazy over social media posts, Brad Pitt is one of the few who has always stayed away from it. But why?
In 2019, Pitt was asked about his absence from social media by an E! reporter. When asked when he would create an Instagram account, Brad said: “Never gonna happen.”
The ‘Troy‘ actor then explained the reason for it. “Well, I never say never. Life’s pretty good without it. I don’t see the point.” Earlier, Brad had said he could have cleared a lot of misconceptions with social media.
“And if I’d have that in my younger days, I’d have used it. Because I felt quite used, and completely misunderstood, and misread, and not given the benefit of the doubt,” he said.
Pitt is in the league of actors like Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Emma Stone, Benedict Cumberbatch, etc who love to stay away from social media.

Angelina Jolie is “desperately trying to find something new” in her ongoing fight with ex-husband Pitt. Jolie is curious as to why no charges were put on Pitt for the 2016 private incident that led to her divorce.
On the flight, the couple was accompanied by their six children. According to Jolie, Pitt was drinking at that time. He took her to the restroom where he “grabbed her by the head, shaking her.”
Pitt also shook her by the shoulders as they argued over one of their children. He also yelled at her, “You’re fucking up this family.” When the kids asked, “Are you OK, Mommy?” Pitt allegedly replied: “No, she’s not OK, she’s ruining this family, she’s crazy.”
One of the kids then yelled back: “It’s not her, it’s you, you p—k!”, according to the report. Pitt then allegedly ran toward the child but Jolie held him back. She suffered injuries to her back and elbow in the process. The actor was not pressed with any charges but Jolie filed for divorce a week later.
