BRAD PITT - RITCHIE: 'BRAD'S A DIAMOND'

RITCHIE: 'BRAD'S A DIAMOND'

BRAD PITT has remained down to earth since hitting the big time - and even made cups of tea for everybody on the set of SNATCH, according to director GUY RITCHIE.
The pair teamed up for the 2000 gangster movie, which also starred hardman Vinnie Jones, and Pitt fast became a favourite on set by offering to make drinks for the film crew.
Ritchie was impressed by the unstarry attitude of the Hollywood actor - but wonders whether a chance encounter with Jones prior to filming influenced Pitt's demeanour.
Ritchie tells Britain's new! magazine, "Brad is a diamond geezer (great guy) and a real gent because, even though he's famous, he doesn't take himself too seriously and doesn't have any of that 'I'm a Hollywood star' thing about him.
"He did a brilliant job on Snatch and was one of the lads from the start. He even made cups of tea for all the punters (crew) on set! But then Vinnie did get him in a headlock on the first day, showed him who was boss and straightened him out - so that might have had something to do with it."
