On Sunday, Brad Pitt took the time to honor essential workers amid the coronavirus pandemic in United We Sing: A GRAMMY Salute To The Unsung Heroes. He has not yet responded to Angelina Jolie’s recent interview with Vogue India about their divorce.

The special, which aired on June 21 and is streaming on CBS All Access, was hosted by Harry Connick, Jr. and his 24-year-old daughter, Georgia Tatum Connick. It also features appearances by Sandra Bullock, Drew Brees, Queen Latifah, Oprah Winfrey, and Renée Zellweger.

During the show, which invites donors to contribute to charities that support underserved children, a sanitation worker named Darnell Rudolph is surprised by a video call with Brad Pitt.

“Man, I love the work you’ve done after Katrina,” Rudolph said to Pitt, referencing his work with Make It Right Foundation, a non-profit foundation the actor founded in 2007 to aid in the environmentally friendly rebuilding of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina.

“That’s so appreciated, I’ve got such a love for that city, and we so appreciate what you’re doing,” Pitt responded.

We love a good classic shoe, and it looks like the A-listers do, too. In 2015, both Angelina Jolie and Debby Ryan showed off their feet in the same pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps.

On November 3, 2015, Angelina and her husband Brad Pitt looked all loved up when they arrived at the screening of their new movie “By the Sea.”

The couple produced the romantic-drama film, while Angelina also served as the writer and director.

The then 40-year-old actress looked stunning in a vintage-style blue chiffon dress from Italian designer Luisa Beccaria’s Fall 2013 collection.

The long-sleeved frock featured front pleating, sheer long detailing, and a cutout back. She styled it with minimal jewelry, a waist-cinching gold textured belt, and a pair of nude pumps.

Her then 51-year-old husband, on the other hand, opted for a semi-casual layered ensemble composed of a dark top, a waistcoat, a blazer, a scarf, and a pair of jeans. He completed his look with a flat cap and a pair of leather shoes.
