Brad Pitt is tired of living in constant anticipation of new troubles and accusations from his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie. To temporarily escape from this situation, he decided to go on a trip. He chose a destination far from Los Angeles, where Jolie lives. Brad flew to Iceland, not alone but accompanied by a couple of friends and his beloved motorcycle.
Reporters from the mentioned publication caught Brad in a parking lot as he was preparing to mount his “iron horse.” Noticing that he was being filmed, Pitt meticulously prepared for his journey. Not only was he wearing a motorcycle protective suit and helmet, but he also added a black ski mask-balaclava for extra face and head protection.
The photographers observing this scene got the impression that the actor was doing this deliberately—to be filmed and later featured in the media. According to the reporters, he seemed to be sending a “message” to his son Pax Thien, who recently had a near-fatal accident due to neglecting safety rules while riding a motorcycle. Brad appeared to want to set an example for his son on how to properly gear up for such trips.
For context, nearly a month ago, 20-year-old Pax Thien was involved in a severe accident. This occurred when he was riding an electric motorcycle in Los Angeles without any body protection or even a helmet. As he collided at high speed with a car that had stopped in front of him at a red light, he was thrown off the bike and fell to the ground, hitting his head. The scene looked so dire that one witness was convinced the young man had died. Fortunately, the young man survived, though he was kept in intensive care for a whole week before being moved to a regular hospital ward.
It should be noted that Pax Thien, along with the other five children of Pitt and Jolie, have refused to communicate with Brad following the divorce. Moreover, three of them have officially renounced his surname. However, according to an insider among the actor’s friends, Pitt is not giving up and continues to fight for his children. He is convinced that Angelina has turned them against him, and he believes that he will eventually regain their trust.
