Can Brad Pitt get any better?
At 44, he’s still one of Hollywood’s sexiest leading men, pals around with the likes of George Clooney, is father to six kids and gets to wake up every morning next to Angelina Jolie.
But on Wednesday, it was a lighter side of Pitt that audiences saw at the Venice International Film Festival as he took the stage to retrieve his best actor trophy for last year’s Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
"You can run, but you can’t hide," Pitt joked as he accepted the award from the mistress of ceremonies. "It was an honor to receive this last year and it’s an honor to receive it this year. Thank you very much."
Brad won the gold cup last year, but left before the awards ceremony, never picking up his trophy.
"I guess you forgot something here years ago," said the mistress of ceremonies told him. Holding up the gold cup to honor Pitt’s performance in the film, she said, "Brad, this is yours."

When Brad Pitt and George Clooney are in a room together with reporters, who wants to talk movies? Apparently no one, according to Reuters.
The genetically-gifted twosome were bombarded with off-topic questions today at a press conference at the 65th Annual Venice Film Festival for the Coen brothers‘ film Burn After Reading, which they both star in.
How are Brad’s babies?
"The twins are fine," George replied, stepping in to save his buddy.
Okay then, reporters wanted to know, are you going to get hitched and make some beautiful offspring of your own?
“I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question," he quipped, adding. "I am getting married and having children today. Brad?”
”And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him," Brad picked up. "I’ll have two more by next year.”
As for the movie? Well, the funny guys are only in one scene together. But no one seemed to ask about that.
