Brad Pitt has appeared in a cringe-worthy interview with notorious prankster Zach Galifiankis, who questioned the star about his split from former wife Jennifer Aniston.

In an instalment of the comedian’s web series ‘Between Two Ferns’, Pitt squirms and laughs his way through questions about his divorce from the popular ‘Friends’ star and his new relationship with wife Angelina Jolie.

“Is it hard for you to maintain a suntan?” Galifianakis asks.

“Why?” Pitt queries.

“Because you live in your wife’s shadow?” Galifianakis responds.

Galifiankis also teases Pitt by mispronouncing his new movie title, Fury, as “Furry”.

That and more delightfully awkward moments in the video below.
