What were Brad, Maddox, Pax, and the grandparents doing on Saturday? They were being tourists! Brad, Maddox, Pax, and Bill and Jane Pitt were spotted enjoying the world-famous New York/Canadian attraction - Niagra Falls! Photographer James McCoy got some shots, and Maki Becker from Buffalo News was able to get the story on the celebrity family’s visit to Niagra Falls.
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.
According to the reporter, Brad and the family kept a low profile, with Brad doing most of his hiding underneath a dark sweatshirt:
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.
I have always thought that, should I run into the family, (yeah, right), I’d never have my camera ready. Apparently I’m not alone!
“He was looking good,” sighed a star-struck Melissa Harris, 17, of Niagara Falls, Ont., as the hunky actor rushed past her. She conceded she was a little chagrined that she didn’t have her camera with her for the celebrity sighting.
I do think, however, that I’d at least see him, or I’d hope to see him, unlike this unfortunate fan:
“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.
“Maybe we can find them!” her friends cried, as they frantically tried to figure out where the family had gone.
But by that time, apparently, Brad and his family had gone.
But Pitt was long gone, apparently headed back to Albany. U.S. border officers said the actor was very pleasant as he crossed through the checkpoint at the Rainbow Bridge.
I love these photos! I love seeing the boys in their ponchos and all of them being able to enjoy some family fun together!
