Actor Brad Pitt resumes filming following the devastating demise of his mother a few weeks prior
Brad Pitt was spotted back on the set of the highly-anticipated sequel to Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood on August 19, resuming his work as Cliff Booth. The film, which is being shot in Los Angeles, is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2019 Quentin Tarantino movie.
The actor, who is an Oscar-winning performer, appeared in high spirits despite the recent loss of his mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on August 5. Pitt, known for his open and loving relationship with his mother, has not yet made any public statements regarding her death or its impact on his professional work.
Jane Pitt was a loving and supportive mother, who was affectionately known as 'Grammy'. She is survived by three children, including Brad Pitt, Doug, and Julie. In her memory, Jane Pitt found joy in celebrating each grandchild's uniqueness through one-on-one traditions known as 'Your Special Day'. All 14 of her grandchildren have fond memories of these special moments.
Pitt, who recently starred in the box-office hit F1, made a special shout-out for his mother during a special screening of the movie. In a heartfelt moment on the Today show, he told Savannah Guthrie that he wanted to say hi to his mother, Jane Pitt, and told her that he loved her.
Despite the personal tragedy, a source close to Pitt stated that he was being his usual professional self on the set of the sequel. Pitt was photographed in the costume of his role as Cliff Booth, demonstrating his commitment to the project.
As of the latest information available, there are no public reports or statements indicating how Brad Pitt's acting career has been specifically affected by his mother's death. Without direct statements or observable changes in Pitt's public or professional behavior tied to her passing, it is not possible to definitively assess any impact on his acting career at this time.
