Pitt lights up the red carpet at film festival

Crowds went wild last night as they caught a glimpse of Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt as he arrived at the premiere of his new film in Cannes.

Pitt, looking dapper in a black tuxedo and a pair of sunglasses, sent fans into a frenzy as he paced quickly up and down the lines of admirers bordering the pavement, signing autographs.

Angelina Jolie was not with him.
