HuffPost
Her decision is sure to make you frown.
Christina Applegate is recalling the time she blew off Brad Pitt after bringing him as her date to an awards show — and instantly regretted it.
In her new memoir “You With the Sad Eyes,” which was released Tuesday, the “Dead to Me” star, 54, recounted the time she invited an early-career Pitt, whom she said she had already been “platonic pals [with] for the longest time,” to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Shortly before asking him to be her date, Applegate said she “took another look at Brad and thought” he could be boyfriend material, claiming that he felt the same and agreed to go with her.
Applegate was 17 years old at the time and at the zenith of Hollywood fame after landing the beloved role of Kelly Bundy in “Married…With Children.”
Despite having budding heartthrob Pitt by her side at the awards ceremony where she was presenting that evening, she couldn’t help but set her sights on rocker Sebastian Bach, who was also at the show.
