    Brad Pitt is to get private tour of Banksy's Dismaland theme park

    The 'Fury' actor - who is a huge fan of the Bristol street artist - is reportedly being given the opportunity to view the new park in Weston-Super-Mare, South West England away from the general public because he would "get mobbed" if he went round with everyone else and would bring "too much glamour" to what is meant to be a "thoroughly depressing" attraction.


    A source said: "Brad has followed Banksy's work for years now and really loves his ideology, so he is making special arrangements to ensure he can get down to the park.

    "Brad would bring a bit too much glamour to what's meant to be a thoroughly depressing visit, so Banksy granted him special permission to visit before it opens.

    "Obviously such a high profile celebrity would get mobbed in Weston-super-Mare if he travelled down and queued with the public."

    The Bristolian activist invited Brad to make his visit in the morning of the grand opening but he won't be accompanied by wife Angelina Jolie or their six children.

    The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "So Banksy has granted Brad special permission to visit the park before it opens to the public.

    "The first tickets allow entry at 11am, so Brad will have the run of Dismaland in the morning before then during his visit next week.

    "He's not planning to take Angelina and the kids."
