The actor was quick in pulling the girl over the fence, away from the crowd who were about to crush the young fan against the security barrier. He was seen comforting the young girl later who clearly looked shaken by this incident. Being a doting father, raising six children with wife and actress Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt was alert and showed fatherly instincts on seeing the young girl in trouble, like a real life hero.

The shooting for the movie started in London and later moved to Gran Canaria, and some scenes also being shot in the island of Fuerteventura. The movie ‘Allied’ will be released in November 2016, stay tuned for scenes from the beautiful Canary Islands.
