Brad Pitt Spotted Using Cane After Injury Caused By Fall With Daughter

Brad Pitt is sporting a fashion accessory these days that doesn’t really fit into his designer clothing choices. The actor was spotted with a cane at the 23rd annual Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala on Saturday.

It turns out the 48-year-old actor needed the cane to stabilize his leg after an ACL injury. The injury occurs when the ligament in the knee that connects the femur with the tibia is torn.

When asked about the injury Brad Pitt reveals:

“I was carrying my daughter [Vivienne] down the hill and I slipped,” and “It was either her or me.”

Pitt revealed that the injury wasn’t bad enough to require surgery but did note that the cane may be sticking around for a while to ensure a full recovery.

Angelina Jolie in the meantime revealed to reports on the red carpet:

“I like the cane.” She also revealed that the injury hasn’t slowed him down, “He’s not that kind of guy. He does everything still.”

What really matters though is that Brad Pitt accomplished his goal of keeping the couple’s 3-1/2-year old safe, when asked about her daughter Jolie responded.

“Vivie’s okay,” and “She was absolutely fine.”

We knew it was only a matter of time before such a big brood wore down mommy or daddy a little bit, we just didn’t think it would result in the use of a cane for an undisclosed amount of time.

Here’s a video of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Palm Springs Film Festival gala:
