People and royalty
The American actor had a hell of a misadventure there.
Even “Rusty Ryan” can get ripped off. We know it: the Provencal domain of Brad Pitt never ceases to cause him problems. A real financial and wine-growing success, the Château de Miraval has above all become the privileged terrain of the battle raging between the actor and Angelina Jolie. But it’s a funnier anecdote that the American decided to share recently.
“I was completely obsessed”
Freshly become a landowner in France, Brad Pitt listens when a local assures him that gold coins dating from the Crusades are buried on his land. He takes him at his word and goes in search of the loot with an obsession as overflowing as it is costly. “I was completely obsessed, for a year, I only thought about that, I was all excited by this case. Maybe it has to do with where I grew up, because in the Ozarks there were always plenty of stories of secret gold caches…”we read in words translated by Point. In reality, the mysterious stranger was in cahoots with a company that allowed him to acquire all the material necessary for his research. “It was ultimately a little ridiculous, but the hunt was exciting,” concedes Brad Pitt today.
