After giving his fellow Brad a hug on the gala's stage, Pitt dropped a personal tidbit about his friend in the midst of an otherwise funny speech.
Brad Pitt has sensationally accused his billionaire business partner of bullying amid his battle for his and ex-wife Angelina Jolie's vineyard.
The Hollywood actor, 60, has taken aim at Russian entrepreneur Yuri Shefle, 56, who took over Jolie's share in 2021. Pitt's ex, 48, sold her share for £50million ($64million) and now Brad is attempting to undo the 'secret' sale of the Chateau Miraval winery.
Brad claims he was "ultimately threatened" by the vodka tycoon, according to legal documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. "Shefler personally took action to foster his supposed partnership with Pitt after the transaction closed," per the filing.

"Writing Pitt repeatedly to bully him into going along. Since acquiring Nouvel, Shefler has suggested a meeting between himself and Pitt to ‘discuss the way forward.
At times, Shefler expressed his fervent desire to work with Pitt. At others, he threatened Pitt based on drummed-up charges of mismanagement at Miraval."
Brad sued ex-wife Angelina in February 2022 after she sold her 50 percent stake in the business. At Los Angeles Superior Court, he claimed the sale was a breach of Jolie’s promise to offer him first refusal. Nouvel responded with a cross-complaint of $350million.
The latest legal battle comes after Brad was handed back 10 percent of Shefler's shares, making him the majority shareholder. The couple bought the vineyard in 2008, it sits on 1,300 acres.
The couple reportedly paid approximately $21.5million (£17million) for the estate, but it's now valued at over $164million (£128million).
It has an entire pine forest, a lake, a moat, and a Romanesque chapel where Brad and Angelina got married in 2014. The main house has 35 rooms, including a gym, a home cinema, a spa, two pools, and a helicopter pad.
