Video clip of Brad Pitt in Grant Park for Obama rally

Over at JJB, someone managed to dig up some video footage of the Barack Obama rally in Chicago last night, in Grant Park. A reporter was interviewing celebrities and regular people alike before the news broke that Obama had won. Last night we heard news that Brad Pitt was also at Grant Park to watch and celebrate.

Just past the 2-minute mark, you can see Brad and hear a little bit of audio saying that he will be very happy. It’s brief, but he’s there.

I’m so glad that despite his enormous celebrity status Brad was able to just be an American citizen last night, enjoying his candidate’s win like any other regular American could. Good for him!

Don’t forget to stay tuned for Brad’s appearance on Oprah sometime later this month. The official show date has not yet been released, though I’ve heard rumors that his segment will be taped sometime very soon. You can see the promo for Oprah’s November guests and shows here.

I don’t usually watch Oprah anymore just because it doesn’t come on at a convenient time for me, but I’ll definitely make time for that episode!
