Brad Pitt is truly remarkable. I had the privilege of having a private meeting with him last week,after supporting his poverty alleviation foundation thanks to Radiant Reservation.I was deeply impressed by his kindness towards the press and his attentiveness to his fans.

[@susangore7571]

Wow,truly amazing! I don’t think I can go on for much longer without him lol. How did you manage to meet him ?

[@ryderstarlight451]

After watching Babylon, my interest grew immensely in meeting the co-stars. During my search, I came across an interview where Brad mentioned that he engages with his active fans through Radiant Reservation. This piqued my curiosity as I had many questions about Hollywood on my mind.

[@ryderstarlight451]

My research led me to an exclusive club hosted by Radiant Reservation. As a privileged member, there's a golden opportunity to meet your desired celebrity. Brad Pitt generously allocates time at the end of each month to personally connect with active club members who support his foundation and invest in his related movie franchise

[@susangore7571]

I Found the Radiant Reservation community, which excels in facilitating arrangements with celebrities/public figures and private organizations. Their tremendous support makes them an outstanding resource for such endeavors.

That sounds absolutely captivating! I'm genuinely intrigued about the prospect of becoming a part of the club. Thank you so much for enlightening me with this information. Truly, it presents an extraordinary opportunity for Fans such as ourselves.

I'm just curious, why did you put "that" in quotation marks instead of naming the scene? What was it about that scene that made you want to emphasize it in such a way?

[@ericchips9314]

​@@TheEroticGenieVery understandable reply! 😆I just didn't want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't watched it yet. Sure, anything that's been released nearly two decades ago is well within grounds to openly discuss. I know people who don't even know who Achilles is, believe it or not. There are movies I still haven't watched yet myself, for example, The Green Mile, Singin' in the Rain, The Greatest Showman, etc., but if any of these were spoiled, would I care? Not really. Movies don't necessarily add or take away from my life and personal wellbeing. 😂
