Making his fourth visit to Korea, Hollywood star Brad Pitt showed off his witty personality during a press conference for his new movie “Bullet Train” held at Conrad Seoul in Yeouido, Seoul, on Friday.
“I am not here for the movie, I am here for the food,” Pitt said after entering the room.
Pitt and fellow “Bullet Train” cast member Aaron Taylor-Johnson arrived on Thursday night and said they enjoyed having samgyetang (Korean chicken soup) yesterday and are planning to go to a Korean barbeque restaurant in the evening.
The actors were welcomed to the press conference with cakes. Pitt‘s cake was shaped like a Korean fortune pouch called a bokjumeoni and was decorated with ladybugs, which is his character’s code name in the movie. Taylor-Johnson also received a Korean fortune pouch cake decorated with tangerines.
The two stars seemed to enjoy taking photos with the cakes and were sad when they were taken away to proceed with the conference.
“I was really pleased to be presented with good luck, and that was taken away. Does the good luck stay?” Pitt asked.
He was told that the cake would be returned to him after the press conference, and he started talking about the new movie.
“‘Bullet Train’ is about seven sociopaths on a train who are after the same thing. But none of them know each other,” Pitt said. “It is just a great summer action-adventure. It‘s hilarious and great that everyone got something to do.”
The 58-year-old American actor said that underneath the fun and eye-catching action, there is also a thought-provoking message in it.
“The underlying theme is luck.
