Brad Pitt skips documentary premiere to focus on 'family situation'
Actor Brad Pitt said on Tuesday he was skipping the premiere of his latest project to focus "on my family situation" and not distract from the educational documentary, following his highly publicized marital split from Angelina Jolie.
Pitt, 52, narrated the 45-minute IMAX documentary film "Voyage of Time," directed by Terrence Malick, which he called "incredibly beautiful."
"I'm very grateful to be part of such a fascinating and educational project, but I’m currently focused on my family situation and don’t want to distract attention away from this extraordinary film, which I encourage everyone to see," the actor said in a statement.
It was Pitt's second statement since news of the Hollywood power couple's split broke last week.
