The Hollywood macho was capable of grand gestures. In 1994 Brad bought a house in Los Feliz, California, he wanted to buy some land in the area to expand his property. His house in a gated community in the Hollywood Hills was sold to him by the actress Cassandra Peterson (Cassandra Peterson), known for the image of Elvira – the lady of darkness in many films and TV shows.
Today, the 71-year-old star spoke out about Pitt’s generosity. It turned out that one of the houses belonged to a man who was about 90 years old at the time. Pitt befriended an elderly neighbor who was painfully worried about the death of his beloved wife. He invited him to live in the house until his death without paying rent.
“He was very, very kind to this man. After the death of his wife, John stayed in the usual house that already belonged to Brad. I know Brad let him live there without paying anything until he died. It was funny because John lived to be 105 years old. I imagine Brad was thinking, you know, expecting this to happen at any moment,” Cassandra recalled.
The actress was Pitt’s neighbor for several years before she agreed to give him the land for a good price. She admitted that the actor was the perfect neighbor not only for John’s grandfather, but also for her. “During the years of our life together, he was always kind and kind to me,” assured the artist.
Peterson recalled how the actor was preparing to film “Fight Club” at the estate, exciting her as he trained with a punching bag in the yard. “I almost fainted when I saw him shirtless. I remember him asking, “Hi, how are you?” and I’m like “what?” I have no words. I turned red and felt like I was going to pass out. He’s just amazingly handsome and cute to boot,” People quotes Kassandra as saying.
Brad lived in the house with his wife Angelina Jolie and their six children until their divorce in 2016, after which he lived alone for several years. In March, Pitt sold the estate for $39 million. It was a good deal for him because the property originally cost him $1.7 million.
Pitt’s friends said he decided to sell the home he’s owned for nearly 30 years because he wanted to move from Los Angeles to the small northern California beach town of Carmel. The actor has already bought a house there for 40 million dollars.
