Actor and producer Brad Pitt recently opened up about the dating rumours that are spreading like wild fire, regarding his supposed relationship with Alia Shawkat. He recently confirmed that he is in fact not dating Alia Shawkat. The star even went far enough to say that he will be turning down every false relationship gossip that emerges since his parting with with Angelina Jolie. In an interview with the New York Times, the ‘Ad Astra’ actor talked about how difficult it is to avoid rumours. He went on to say, “I don’t go out of my way to avoid it; I just don’t seek it out. I don’t know how many women they’ve said I’ve been dating the last two or three years, and none of it’s true-I just flashed on something, but maybe it doesn’t mean anything.” The 55-year-old superstar shared that he rarely ever reads about his personal life and stays away from the news, “I stopped reading all press in about 2004. Not just reviews. I mean any magazine in the doctor’s office.” Brad Pitt has time and again been linked to numerous celebrities, from Neri Oxman to Sat Hari Khalsa and most recently Alia Shawkat who has become a paparazzi favourite.
