Pitt has not been formally diagnosed with the condition but admitted that it is a source of shame for him. Brad Pitt has said he might have prosopagnosia, a rare neurological disorder commonly referred to as face blindness. The former is known as acquired prosopagnosia, while the inherited condition is termed developmental prosopagnosia. The second type of face blindness, developmental prosopagnosia, is more of a genetic condition which is not brought about by brain damage. Many people with the condition have at least one close family member who also has developmental prosopagnosia.
