As Brad Pitt races to save the world, the question is: can he save his movie?

Some movie goers got quite a surprise when Brad Pitt showed up, unannounced, at screenings of his latest apocalypse thriller World War Z.

Brad Pitt thinks he can’t remember people’s faces because of a rare medical condition called, prosopagnosia, or more simply: face blindness.

The 49-year-old actor opened up about the trials and tribulations of the condition in an interview in the current issue of Esquire:

“So many people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them,” he says. “So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I’m just going to cop to it and say to people, ‘Okay, where did we meet?’ But it just got worse. People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I’ll say, ‘Thank you for helping me.’ But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, ‘You’re being egotistical. You’re being conceited.’ But it’s a mystery to me, man…I am going to get it tested.”
