BRAD Pitt’s hilarious award speeches could be down to the actor getting a helping hand from a ghostwriter, it’s been claimed.
According to new reports, the Hollywood star had been looking for assistance from speech writing agencies to help craft his now famous one-liners for awards season.
So far Brad, 56, has left audiences at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild awards and the British Academy Film Awards in hysterics with his playful speeches when receiving accolades for his role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
And according to Vulture, the actor’s surprisingly funny speeches might be down to some professional assistance.
The site claims that Brad’s representatives at Sony reached out to at least one speech writing organizations to consult about their services.
The agency – who chose to remain anonymous due to a confidentiality agreement – declined to say whether they reached a deal with Brad’s reps.
If the actor is using a ghostwriter then he’s certainly reaping the rewards after recently making headlines for his cheeky BAFTA speech.
While Brad had to miss the show and get Margot Robbie to read the words on his behalf, the audience was still left laughing out loud as Brad’s speech made light of Brexit and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down as working members of the Royal Family.

While at the SAG awards, he even had his ex-wife Jennifer Anistion cracking up over his joke that he would add the accolade to his “Tinder profile”.
The actor even mocked his director and friend Quentin Tarantino by highlighting the filmmaker’s foot fetish, stating: “Quentin has separated more women from their shows than the TSA”.
And the star made a joke about his fellow actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s famous scene in Titanic at the Golden Globes, saying: “I would’ve shared the raft.”
THE LATEST ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
There’s no reason to believe that Brad did not craft the speeches himself, but it is safe to say all eyes will be on what he says next if he bags the Best Supporting Actor award at tonight’s Oscars.
The Sun has contacted Brad Pitt’s representatives for comment.
