At the premiere of his new racing drama F1 on Monday, fans got an eyeful of Brad's awkward interaction with Ines on the red carpet. A video appeared to show Ines going in for a kiss with her love, but Brad didn't seem interested, instead leaning back and turning to speak to another woman approaching them. The cringeworthy moment was shared on X (formerly Twitter), where fans couldn't help but wince at the awkwardness.

BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT WEIGHS IN: COULD THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR BRAD AND INES?

According to a body-language expert, Brad's behavior on the red carpet suggests that there may be trouble in paradise for the couple. "Brad Pitt avoiding Ines kiss (once again) hahaha, she thought he was going to kiss her and he was just trying to cross to the other side I just can't," the expert noted.

But it wasn't just this one moment that had fans talking - another clip from the reception at the premiere showed Brad posing for a group photo with Ines standing off to his side. As the other people arranged themselves in formation around him, he looked back at Ines and quickly turned toward the camera without any signal for her to get into the picture.

FANS CAN'T HANDLE THE AWKWARDNESS: "OMG NO"

Fans on X couldn't help but express their shock and amusement at the awkward interactions between Brad and Ines. One user posted a gif of Ryan Gosling trying to hide his laughter, while another wrote, "Omg no 😭😭😭." Some commenters even suggested that Ines may have been trying to "say something in his ear," but it was clear that the video was meant to be humorous.

BUT IS THIS REALLY THE END OF THEIR ROMANCE?

Despite the awkward moments, sources close to Brad claim that he's found a "quiet life" for himself after finalizing his divorce from Angelina Jolie. One source noted that Brad is "in a good place" and has been working on his mental health and substance use issues.

BRAD PITT'S SECRET TO WEATHERING THE STORM: HIS CHARM AND ENDURING ATTRACTIVENESS

'I just can't,' wrote a person who posted the videos to X. 'The way this relationship is so PR I just can't'

According to PR expert Mark Borkowski, Brad's fame, charm, and enduring attractiveness have helped him weather the storm of scandal. "When you're that genetically gifted, the scandal has to work twice as hard to stick," he noted.

But it's not just Brad's looks that have saved him from the wrath of the public - his ability to be self-aware and reflective has also played a role. As Borkowski pointed out, "The public has seen he's someone who's been able to be self-aware and self-reflective. Years ago, he acknowledged his mistakes and he's worked to improve them."

Insiders claim that Brad's relationship with his children from his marriage to Angelina Jolie is strained, particularly with the four older kids who are now adults. "It's caused him a lot of heartbreak," one source noted, adding that he has made several efforts to reconnect with them.
