UFC commentator Joe Rogan is also the host of one of the most popular podcasts, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. There, he has had the privilege of having very notable personalities from all walks of life as guests. He also recently had astrophysicist, scientist, and author Neil deGrasse Tyson as a guest on his podcast. What the duo discussed was truly astonishing.

In his recent podcast episode, Tyson mentioned how Oliver Sax, a British neurologist, has a rare neurological disorder. This condition is known as Prosopagnosia. The two in the episode discussed the disease’s Hollywood connection.

Joe Rogan discusses Brad Pitt’s facial blindness

During the conversation, regarding Oliver Sax, the UFC commentator remembered that even Brad Pitt was dealing with face blindness. Moreover, Jamie Vernon, producer of the podcast, and a close companion of the 55-year-old verified that Pitt indeed had it.

Rogan asks, “How does that work, where they can’t see faces but they can read?” Tyson responded by saying, “No, they can see faces, but they just don’t recognize it. It doesn’t land in any place that you recognize it. Every face, even if you’ve seen it before, is like a brand new face.”

‘Young Jamie’ says that the Hollywood superstar has never been officially diagnosed with it and that he faces extreme difficulty’ while recognizing people’s faces. The Jui-Jitsu black belt expresses how crazy it must be for Brad Pitt to have one of the best faces ever and not be able to recognize it.

Can Prosopagnosia be treated and cured?

Currently, there is no known cure for Prosopagnosia. Although incurable, scientists are still researching and developing methods to manage the disease. One way of dealing with face blindness is to focus on other features, such as height, voice tone, hair color, weight, skin tone, walking style, etc.

Another hurdle is detecting the disease. Doctors conduct a series of tests to identify whether the patient has face blindness or another hereditary neurological disorder.

With no cure in sight, this disease leaves quite a big impact on an individual’s social life. Apart from not being able to recognize faces, it is quite difficult to explain the disease to the social circle. Share this with your family, friends, and colleagues to raise awareness.
