Why Is Brad Pitt Walking With A Cane?

WHOA! EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! QUIT IT! SAVE AND QUIT! JUST QUIT IT, I'M SURE IT WILL AUTOSAVE, THIS IS IMPORTANT! I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU! First of all, I want you to know that Brad Pitt is doing fine. He's absolutely going to be totally ok, but something happened to his knee and, well, here. Us Weekly is always better than I am in situations like this:

The 48-year-old actor stepped out in Beverly Hills Thursday with the aid of a walking stick. "He tore his MCL," a source tells Just Jared, explaining that Pitt injured one of four ligaments that stabilizes the knee joint.

The cause of the World War Z actor's injury is not yet known -- nor is the reason he chose to wear an all black jumpsuit.

Exactly right, Us Weekly. The reason why he chose to wear an all black jumpsuit will NEVER be known. As for for the cane mystery, I can just hardly even stop from falling onto the floor over and over again because that is how on the edge of my seat I am about it!!! But I think we can come up with a few reasonable guesses. For example:

    • His knee realized he was 48, which is SO MUCH OLDER than it seems like he must be, and decided it was just time.
    • He wanted to do all of his own stunts in whatever movie he's working on now and one of the stunts was to propose marriage and he did it too many times.
    • The first rule is that he can't tell you how he injured it LOLOL.
    • He went to the cane store by accident and didn't want to admit his mistake.

Great guesses! Click through to the full-sized image for EXPERT guessing.
