The actress has finally addressed reports that she and Brad Pitt were dating a few months ago.
Arrested Development star Alia Shawkat, 31, finally referred to reports that she and Brad Pitt, 56, were dating, after being seen together at the LA on Fire art show in November, reports News.au.
“We are not dating. We are just friends, ”he told Vulture. “I like the press, but not like that. Not so uncontrollable. “
Shawkat was appalled at how much the news cycle focused on her, and even how much her friends believed those truthless stories.
“All my friends were like ‘What’s going on?’ and sending me photos. I was overwhelmed. It’s that feeling of being naked at school, like, ‘OMG, everyone is looking at me.’ ”
Shawkat explained that he met the Oscar winner through director Spike Jonze.
“We became friends and Brad introduced me to his group of friends, and he grew from there,” she said, noting that news coverage focused on how she and Pitt didn’t seem like an expected couple.
“For them it’s like, ‘We don’t get it! This girl is weird! She is very different! Why are they hanging out? She said, laughing.
“You get too close to the prom king and suddenly everyone says, ‘Well, who is this bitch?'”
