London, Sept 18: Brad Pitt admits that he was left a bit shaken after an obsessed fan got a little too close for comfort at the Venice Film Festival recently.

Pitt, who won the Best Actor award at the festival for his role in ‘The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford’, revealed to the Mirror that the incident had shown him just how vulnerable stars can be.

"I haven't been jumped like that in a while. It tells me that we're vulnerable," the paper quoted him, as saying.

However, he insists that incidents like these will not make him hide.

"It's something I have been thinking about but I don't want to change my life to avoid those kinds of things. I've had break-ins in the house and I'm dealing with a recent one now," he said.

The ‘Troy’ star also revealed that he, like most people in showbiz, had developed a ‘radar’ over the years that helped his cope with unbalanced fans.

"You also develop a radar - you feel it when you are approached by unbalanced people," he said. (With Inputs from ANI)
