Brad Pitt appeared at a charity event at the weekend with a bruise on his cheek – and it was all because of a pair of flip flops.
"This is what happens when you try to run up steps in the dark, with your arms full, wearing flip flops," Pitt told People.
"Turns out if you then try to stop your forward momentum with your face, the result is road rash.
"Regardless, I wasn't going to miss the Autism Speaks benefit the night after – wonderful people and I was honoured to be a part of this important event."
We’re glad to hear that Brad’s bruise wasn’t a result of Vivienne Jolie-Pitt going mental with a Barbie doll and almost gauging Brad’s eye out in the process.
Bashing your face on a step though. Ouch.
This story may be the best reason to date that we’ve got for men not wearing flip flops. Did you hear that, men of the world? Flip flops are just NOT SEXY. Put those hairy toes into a nice trainer, OK? Nobody wants to see them. We don’t even want to see Brad Pitt’s.
You won’t be pulling otherwise, unless you’re on holiday, and even then it’s negotiable. Seriously.
