- Prosopagnosia, or face blindness, may affect more people than you think. Like Brad Pitt.
- Warning signs include having trouble following television plots because the actors look the same.
- Avoid doubting someone who discloses they have it.
Imagine meeting someone at a party and really hitting it off. The next time you see them, they are completely unrecognizable.
Experts have labeled this condition prosopagnosia, otherwise known as face blindness. And it may affect more people than you think, including one Hollywood A-list actor: Brad Pitt.
Pitt, although not formally diagnosed, told GQ magazine in a cover story published June 22 that he may have prosopagnosia, prohibiting him from recognizing new faces or remembering people he meets in social settings – though Pitt says “nobody believes” he has the condition.
