In a bizarre incident at Monday night’s Los Angeles premiere of his movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad Pitt was grabbed, pushed and spun around by a plainclothes security guard who had been hired to protect him.

Pitt arrived half an hour early for the screening at the Bruin Theater in Westwood, where paparazzi promptly descended upon him. But instead of shooing the photographers away, the security guard instead went after Pitt, spinning him around and pulling him backwards – all while clutching in his teeth what appeared to be a brochure for a karate studio.

A shaken Pitt had words with the guard, broke free and waited out the ruckus in an upstairs bathroom area. No news yet on the security guard’s fate.

In September 2007 at the Venice Film Festival, a female fan gave Pitt the rough treatment when she leapt out at him, tried to embrace him and refused to let go.
