I have removed the following text from this page per WP:BLP, as it is entirely unsourced, seems somewhat dubious and is in any case written in an unencyclopaedic tone. Anyone who wants to add it back in should find some sources first. Terraxos (talk) 01:35, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * "There is a still potent myth that Pitt famously made a complaint on live television that someone had popped a bottle of champagne all over him. "That's my new suit!" allegedly "his first and most famous words" were, in fact a complaint concerning his wife's suit - "That's my wife's new suit"  bought at some expense in New York in preparation for victory. Actually, the champagne incident was a set up by his campaign team and ITV to make spurious news. What nobody thought to seek was the subject's opinion. In fact Pitt had, and still has, a to be fair some what irrational fear of any projectile coming towards him - which made him a lousy cricketer. After a long and tiring day, all he wanted was to get to the celebration party and relax. As he came out of the pedestrian underpass he saw at first what appeared to be some fool throwing something at him - no wonder he was less than enthusiastic.  ITN used the clip without seeking any release or permission from Pitt and only finally stopped with threatened with legal action."
