Brad Pitt? 'I don't have a clue who you are' Mr Comfort, from Ripple, near Deal, Kent, said Pitt and his colleagues were "rolling around laughing" at his candid admission, after asking his advice about his wartime experiences. Mr Comfort said: "My regiment, the Light Dragoons, got in contact with me about three weeks ago. They'd been approached by an ex-officer who worked for a film company and asked if there were any old boys left. Then Brad Pitt phoned me and said he wanted to speak about Sherman tanks for a film. He talked me into going and, I have to say, I was extremely well treated. They wanted a lot of information to make it accurate and fired a lot of questions at me. The film crew got me up on the tank for a few pictures and wanted to know everything about it, where we slept, where we spent a penny, the living conditions and what it was like in action, so I told them. Mr Pitt was very friendly and charming actually, but I didn't know who he was. I said to him, until last night I didn't have a clue who you were and then I Googled you and you've been in quite a lot of films. They all rolled about laughing when I said that.
