Los Angeles, May 13 (IANS) Actress Rebel Wilson was surprised when actor Brad Pitt recognised her.

“I was sitting next to Brad Pitt and he’s like, ‘Uh, I’ve seen your movie like 20 times. My kids love it.’ And he said, ‘Angelina watches it as well’. I couldn’t even believe he was talking to me, let alone seen me do comedy,” Wilson said.

But the 29-year-old actress thinks she scared Pitt by embracing him for too long in a bid to show her appreciation, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I just kind of hugged him and for a really long extended time, to the point where he’s kind of moving back. When do you get that opportunity?,” she told talk show “Live with Kelly and Michael”.
