Brad Pitt was spotted enjoying a Paris night out with Ines de Ramon after a legal filing revealed his son Maddox wants to drop the “Pitt” last name.
Brad Pitt may be dealing with family turbulence at home, but his night out in Paris looked nothing like a man bracing for fallout.
Late Friday night, Pitt and his model girlfriend Ines de Ramon were seen entering the Grand Palais restaurant in Paris after a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. In the snapshots, Pitt wore a bright blue top and purple pants, while de Ramon flashed skin in a lacy, low-cut white shirt.
The pair didn’t just turn up for dinner—they also linked with director David Fincher. Fincher. who directed Pitt in “Se7en” and “Fight Club. ” was there ahead of his planned return with Pitt for “The Adventures of Cliff Booth. ” a sequel. Pitt and de Ramon appeared relaxed as they met up with Fincher. the kind of carefree vibe that stands in sharp contrast to what’s playing out in the Jolie-Pitt family.
Because just days after that kind of public calm, the tension in their wider story has gotten louder. Brad and Angelina Jolie’s son Maddox has filed documents requesting to drop the last name Pitt. The legal change is said to reflect the credit Maddox received for Jolie’s movie “Couture. ” in which he was an assistant director.
Maddox isn’t alone among the siblings in reshaping how the family name shows up in public life. Shiloh changed her name legally. Zahara dropped it informally. Vivienne removed it from the playbill for a Broadway production she worked on.
On the surface, it’s a story about names. Underneath. it lands like a statement—one Maddox has chosen to make through paperwork while his father keeps showing up in the world. smiling and grinning in Paris with de Ramon. And as Fincher’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” sequel plans move forward. Pitt’s evening suggested one thing clearly: the public routine is still running. even if the private one isn’t.
