Pitt: 'Clooney copied my moustache'

Brad Pitt has jokingly accused pal George Clooney of copying his moustache.

Pitt grew the facial hair for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards when he learned his Ocean's Eleven co-star Clooney was sporting a similar look.

"I cannot get this guy out of my slipstream," he told People.

"He calls me up and wants to know what I'm wearing - and then he shows up in the same thing. Next thing you know he's going to have six kids. Just got to tell you it's getting really old."

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button star also defended his moustache, describing it as "fashion".

"Who am I without creative facial hair?" he added. "I consider it very brave."
