So, when he appeared at an event over the weekend with a bruise on his face, many wondered what could have happened.

“This is what happens when you try to run up steps in the dark, with your arms full, wearing flip flops,” he told People magazine. “Turns out if you then try to stop your forward momentum with your face, the result is road rash.”

Pitt wasn’t vain about hiding the injury, however. The event, a benefit for Austism Speaks, was too important to him to stay cooped up at home. “I was honored to be a part of this important event,” he said.

The actor bid $23,000 for a Fender Stratocaster that was signed by all the performers, such as Stephen Stills and Neil Young.
