When asked if he would ever consider joining platforms like Instagram, Pitt initially stated, "Never gonna happen." However, in the true spirit of "never say never," he elaborated, "Well, I never say never. Life’s pretty good without it. I don’t see the point." This candid revelation highlights his belief in leading a fulfilling life without the virtual realm and his reluctance to embrace the constantly connected lifestyle, making him one of the few Hollywood stars who've chosen to retain an air of mystery.
