Brad Pitt recently disclosed that he believes he has prosopagnosia.
Brad Pitt Has Fans Worried After Claiming He Is ‘Blind’-‘Nobody Believes Me!’
Prosopagnosia is a very rare condition that can impact one’s life severely. It is also known as face blindness, which has the result of someone not being able to recognise faces.
It usually transpires from birth, and then can have a severe impact on a person throughout their life.
And given that Brad is ultimately in the acting profession, this is the last thing that he needs since it would hinder his ability to interact with other members on a movie set.
During an interview with GQ magazine, Brad was adamant that he had this issue. He said: “[People think I am ] aloof, inaccessible, self-absorbed. Nobody believes me!”
This is not the first time that Brad has opened up about this issue. It was all the way back in 2013, when he confirmed his current feelings. This is very significant for the following reasons.
First of all, it may indicate why Brad had recently suggested that he is willing to retire from the acting profession at some point in the future. And if he does struggle in being able to identify people, it would make much more sense to leave.
Secondly, it could allow Brad the opportunity to finally address this problem. By not having the pressure of working, he could focus on his health.
The fans on social media resonated with Brad’s struggles. People understood the difficulties that this could cause by citing their personal experiences. One person wrote: “My kid has this and was diagnosed at about 6 or 7.
“It’s truly socially isolating. Imagine asking a classmate in May who they are after spending the past 8 months in the same class.” The only thing that Brad can do is focus on himself and hope that he can overcome the struggle.
And the fans will be there to support him every step of the way. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
