Heartthrob Brad Pitt met with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi today.  Pitt and Pelosi spoke about Brad’s efforts to help rebuild flood-ravaged areas of New Orleans through his Make It Right program, which has helped to build energy-efficient “green” homes in the city’s 9th Ward.

Given Brad Pitt’s high-profile activism, it may not have seemed too curious that he and Nancy Pelosi met with each other in Washington, D.C., Thursday, but it no doubt piqued people’s curiosity. After all, it’s not every day you get to see a Hollywood heavyweight mixing it up with the Speaker of the House.

“I just want to say thank you to the Speaker for opening up the doors to let us come in and discuss the current rebuilding effort going on in New Orleans,” Pitt said during a press conference following their meeting on behalf of the actor’s Make It Right project.

But not before the politician could gush over the actor…

Pelosi introduced Pitt to the press as a “real model for the country.”

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star launched his endeavor in 2007 to help create housing for those who lost their homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward during Hurricane Katrina.

“We were listening with great satisfaction,” replied Pelosi, “that not only are these homes built to a green standard, but it’s possible to have a utility bill under $10 a month.”
