WASHINGTON — Mr. Pitt went to Washington Thursday and tried to play role model — but many saw only the model part.
Officially, Academy Award-nominated actor Brad Pitt came to the Capitol to see Nancy Pelosi , D- Calif. , the speaker of the House of Representatives . (He also met with President Barack Obama at the White House , but out of public sight.)
Pitt was in town to talk about "Make It Right," which helps build environmentally friendly homes for low-income hurricane victims in New Orleans . Pitt and companion Angelina Jolie founded the organization in 2007.
And yes, Pitt looked like a model. Dressed in a three-piece black suit so perfectly snug and smooth it looked almost like a tux, Pitt alternated between looking bemused and bored, his lips pursed, his eyes slowly shifting around, never really focusing on anyone as he stood alongside a beaming Pelosi and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D- S.C. , before microphones outside of Pelosi's office.
