Lighten Up: It's a wrap (a silage wrap) for Brad Pitt in West Cork

So for the past year, or thereabouts, Brad Pitt has been with me here on the farm in Kilmichael, learning all the skills of the trade, writes Denis Lehane in this week's Lighten Up

While on the farm, Brad Pitt learned all about the driving skills associated with loading and unloading a cock lifter.

At the moment, when people talk about "the pit" in West Cork, you can't be too sure if they mean silage or Brad. We have only three more days of shooting left, and then it's a wrap for myself and Brad.

Auld Brad just needs to go to Macroom Mart on Saturday to film a car chase scene in the mart yard, and then we need to film a fight scene down outside Barryroe Co-op. Of course, I did the prep work, and I've a few lads I bid up for a couple of batches of calves a few weeks ago, primed for it.
