A star in our mi(d)st
You see, none other than Brad Pitt, only like the biggest celebrity in the world, was in Niagara Falls!
Pitt managed to keep a low profile by sporting a look closer to that of the Unabomber than a movie star. He wore big, dark sunglasses and a paperboy-style cap with the hood of his oversized black sweat shirt pulled over his head.
The Pitt family was given the star treatment at the Maid of the Mist. When their black SUV with tinted windows was escorted down to the dock about 3 p.m., they were discreetly whisked to the front of the line. The family gathered on the upper deck as bodyguards kept careful watch.
During their ride, the Pitts took turns snapping photos of each other and the falls, and the little boys seemed to enjoy getting drenched.
Most of the tourists seemed oblivious to the famous family in their midst.
“Aaaahhhh!” screamed a distressed Raisa Monteiro, 18, a Brazilian exchange student, after learning that she had been on the same boat as Pitt, but hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him.
Wow. Brad Pitt on the Maid of the Mist. I was on the Maid of the Mist a few times... Does that make me like Brad Pitt?
