Hollywood star Brad Pitt has angered paparazzi at the Venice Film Festival by refusing to take off his sunglasses for a photocall. The Mr and Mrs Smith actor is attending the annual Italian film event to promote his new film The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, which had its premiere on Monday (03Sep07). But during a photo session with snappers, Pitt ignored repeated requests for him to briefly remove his sunglasses - a move which has now earned him the nickname of 'Pitt Bullo' (bully) in the local press. This is not the first time that the press have been angered by Brangelina after press were restricted from asking personal questions when Angelina Jolie was promoting A Mighty Heart.The night only got worse for the actor after he was left shaken as he walked down the red carpet with his partner Angelina Jolie when an over excited fan managed to break through security. The woman, who claims she only wanted a hug from the star, threw her arms around Pitt before being led away by security.The actor is said to have been unimpressed by the incident claiming that she could have been anyone.
