Brad Pitt<\/a>\u00a0has a fairly enviable life, I\u2019m sure we can all agree. He\u2019s got the movie star looks, the movie star fame, the movie star talent, and of course, the movie star money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For decades now Brad has been a household name even in the highest echelons of Hollywood\u2019s A-listers. Put simply, he\u2019s lived a life hundreds of thousands of aspiring actors can only dream of, and if you find yourself jealous, I daresay you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

Yet do all of the plaudits and wealth guarantee happiness? Of course they don\u2019t, and it turns out Brad actually struggles with an undiagnosed condition that at one point even discouraged him from leaving the house.<\/p>\n

Brad Pitt has had an up-and-down time of things of late. On the one hand it\u2019s said he\u2019s found love with jewelry designed Ines de Ramon \u2013\u00a0the couple are believed to be extremely happy together<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 but at the same time he\u2019s been\u00a0forced to contend with ongoing<\/a>\u00a0legal battles involving his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.<\/p>\n

Reports detail how Brad and Angelina remain in the midst of a back-and-forth court fight relating to a french winery they purchased when they were together. Angelina his since made\u00a0accusations of physical abuse\u00a0<\/a>on Brad\u2019s part, while Brad has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

On top of that, Brad last year\u00a0revealed his belief<\/a>\u00a0that he suffers from undiagnosed prosopagnosia, also known as \u201cfacial blindness\u201d. Worse, the superstar actor claimed \u201cNobody believes me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many people hate me because they think I\u2019m disrespecting them,\u201d he initially told Esquire back in 2013, adding that it discouraged him from leaving his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, this year, I\u2019m just going to cop to it and say to people, \u2018Okay, where did we meet?\u2019 But it just got worse. People were\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0offended.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cEvery now and then, someone will give me context, and I\u2019ll say, \u2018Thank you for helping me.\u2019 But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, \u2018You\u2019re being egotistical. You\u2019re being conceited.\u2019 But it\u2019s a mystery to me, man. I can\u2019t grasp a face and yet I come from such a design\/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prosopagnosia, commonly known as \u201cface blindness\u201d is a condition characterized by abnormalities, damage, or impairment in the right fusiform gyrus, a fold in the brain that contributes to facial perception and memory. In short, it impacts a sufferer\u2019s ability to recognize faces.<\/p>\n

Pitt told GQ that he hasn\u2019t yet been evaluated \u2013 or at least hadn\u2019t a year ago when the interview took place \u2013 but he firmly believes he\u2019s living with the disease.<\/p>\n
