Brad Pitt has reportedly landed in Italy so he can spend time with his longtime friend George Clooney.
The 60-year-old Troy actor was seen arriving via private jet in Milan, where he was escorted through the airport by security guards, a source told PageSix.
When talking to an attendant, Brad mentioned he would be spending time with Clooney in Lake Como, which is only an hour drive north from Milan.
George and his attorney wife Amal own a villa called Villa Oleandra in Lake Como.
Pitt was also alone and not with his much-younger girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 34, a jewelry executive in Los Angeles.
The site also claimed that Brad was dressed casually in a bucket hat with a dark jacket and jeans as he ran out of the airport and into a waiting Land Rover car as a Mercedes-Benz followed.

George and Amal tied the knot in Venice, Italy in 2014. Three years had passed when the two welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella, in 2017.
George has been known to host Brad many times at his Lake Como villa. When he was married to Jennifer Aniston, they stayed there for several days as they dined on pasta and motor boated on the lake.
Pitt also took his second wife, Angelina Jolie, to the Como villa.
Brad and George have also worked together this year. They are co-starring with Brad in a new film called Wolfs.
The movie is a crime thriller about a ‘fixer’ who is hired to cover up a high-profile crime but things get out of hand when he is forced to work with an ‘unexpected counterpart.’
The film, which also stars Amy Ryan, will be released on September 20.

This comes after Brad was hit was some bad news on Monday. His daughter Shiloh Jolie has legally dropped her father’s surname.
Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
TMZ reports there was no formal hearing for the name change – with the petition granted on Monday, per official court documents.
Last month Shiloh took out a newspaper ad marking the name change – which is a standard step before the court would approve a name change.
The notice also stated anyone who had objections to the petition should show up in court.
A source close to the matter told Dailymail.com last month: ‘Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it.

‘But, if you’re asking if this is connected to the abuse history or the violation of Shiloh’s victims rights, yes, that’s part of it.’
The revelation that Shiloh paid herself suggests that the ugly spat between former couple Pitt and Jolie, 48, may still rumble on in the form of legal action from the six children the couple once shared.
There have been long custody battles which ended eventually in a victory for Pitt, who got 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.
He’s had a judge intervene to tell Angelina she mustn’t listen in on his mobile phone calls with the children. The judge has also ordered ‘reunification therapy’ for Pitt and the kids.
The actor set up a skate park in his home for Shiloh, and more recently an art studio to reflect their common interest in art.
He’s sent cars and security to ferry the children from her home to his whenever there is an allotted custody visit. Sadly, none of it has brought them closer.
In fact son Pax said in an Instagram post in 2016 that all four of the youngest children – that’s including Shiloh – ‘tremble with fear in his presence.’ The two elder ones were at that point already declining point blank to see him.
The current situation has seen the children – Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16 – form a tight gang of seven with his former wife.

A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016.
An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.
Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was ‘f***ing up this family,’ and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times.
She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children.
Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking.
This comes amid recent claims that Pitt and Jolie’s divorce – which has now dragged on for eight years – is still ongoing as neither of the stars can ‘let it go.
A source told People ‘their disagreements took over’ in the relationship, adding that things ‘turned nasty and it was not a good situation for anyone.’
‘All the bitterness is partly why the divorce has dragged on for so many years. Neither will let it go. You’d think they would be over it and just settle.’

A separate insider said: ‘Both of them were having issues with each other. The differences added up over time. It’s really sad for the children, but also the parents. Divorce, especially one so high-profile, can be challenging for the whole family.
‘They both care. They both care about the children.’
Pitt and Jolie began dating publicly shortly after he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2005.
The Mr. And Mrs. Smith costars remained unmarried for years despite having multiple adopted and biological children together, but they got engaged in 2012 and finally tied the knot in 2014.
However, it was only around two years later when the Maleficent actress filed for divorce in 2016. She and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019.
