Oscar-winner Pitt tells Variety that ‘funny friends’ helped him with his zinger-laced thank-yous during the 2020 awards season
Brad Pitt has revealed that his newfound skill in the acceptance-speech game is not due to having hired a speechwriter, but that he wrote them with the help of “very funny friends”.
In an interview with Variety prior to the
Oscars ceremony, Pitt said: “Historically, I’ve always been really tentative about speeches, like they make me nervous … This round, I figured if I’m going to do this, let’s put some real work into it, try to get comfortable. This is the result of that.”
