Brad Pitt started his image of being aloof and self-absorbed may be due to an undiscovered physical problem.
Oscar-winning actor told GQ he might have prosopagnosia, or “facial blindness.” National Institutes of Health defines prosopagnosia as an inability to recognize faces.
Pitt likes to recall people’s faces and feels “ashamed” when he can’t. “Nobody believes me!” he told the magazine.
Depending on the disorder’s severity, people can have trouble recognizing a familiar face or identifying a face from an object, per NIH. One in 50 people has the disease, according to the Prosopagnosia Research Center.
Prosopagnosia can come from a stroke or brain injury or be inherited. NIH reported youngsters born with prosopagnosia “never could recognize faces.”
Pitt has hypothesized about having prosopagnosia. In a 2013 interview with Esquire, he admitted he has upset individuals due to his trouble recalling faces.
Pitt told Esquire he was preparing to get tested for prosopagnosia, and Carnegie Mellon offered to photograph and investigate his brain.
