Brad Pitt has 'someone else writing words' for side-splitting acceptance speeches

Brad Pitt reportedly has a writer for his epic awards-season speeches.

He already stole the show at the BAFTAs - despite not even being there - with a scathingly witty acceptance speech read by co-star Margot Robbie.

During his speech for the Best Supporting Actor category, he joked: "Hey Britain, heard you just became single. Welcome to the club!"

His words also poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, saying that he'd call his new gong Harry "because it's coming back to America with me."

Handsome Brad also laughed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards that the trophy could stand as his new Tinder picture.

The 56 year old has set expectations high with his expertly crafted witticisms, but a source told The Mail on Sunday that there might be someone else behind the scenes.

The source, who has worked with Brad in the past, told the publication: "Brad's a nice guy but not the sharpest tool in the woodshed.

"When he started coming out with these slick acceptance speeches and great one-liners it was obvious to me someone else was probably writing the words."

They added: "Good for him. Who wouldn't want to look and sound their best when they are up there getting an award?

"Brad can handle the good looking part so kudos to him if he has hired someone to help him sound witty and intelligent."

Mirror Online has reached out to representatives of Brad for comment.

Brad will be hitting up the Oscars this evening, up once again in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role across from Margot and Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Fans have been busy speculating that Brad might hit up the red carpet with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, but it sees he's got another lady on his mind.

A source told : "Brad and Jen are very close but there was no way she'd have been his date on the night.

"They have seen each other a lot recently but they are not a couple.

"His mum is the only woman who would be getting an invite."
