But he couldn’t wrap his head around Pitt’s inability to tell faces apart. The ‘Babylon (2022)’ actor has a rare neurological disorder called Prosopagnosia. Which meant that he couldn’t distinguish or remember new people by their faces.

The MMA aficionado asked his guest, Redban, “You know (Brad Pitt) he’s got that thing where you can’t recognize faces?”

And questioned, “Isn’t that bizarre?”
