In addition to posing for photos and videos, Pitt, 56, will also release a signature line of exclusive items, including a limited-edition suit and tuxedo featuring a customized label, according toWWD.

“I want to say hi to my folks, because, hey, they’re back in the Ozarks,” Pitt continued.
“I wanted to bring my mom — but I couldn’t, because anyone I stand next to they say I’m dating,” he joked. “And that would just be awkward.”
He also turned his attention to hisOnce Upon a Time … in HollywoodcostarLeonardo DiCaprio.

“I also have to thank my partner in crime, LDC,” Pitt said. “BeforeThe Revenant, I used to watch, year after year, his costars accept awards and thank him profusely. I know why. He’s an all star, he’s a gent and I wouldn’t be here without you, man. I thank you.”
“Still, I would’ve shared the raft,” he added in a winking reference to the undying debate around DiCaprio’s character’s death inTitanic, about the ship door being big enough for him to share withKate Winslet‘s character.
Earlier this week, Pitt was nominated for the Academy Award for best supporting actor. He’s previously been nominated for sixAcademy Awardsand has won once — in 2014, when12 Years a Slavetook home the honor of Best Picture.
