BRAD PITT AVOIDS SCOTLAND AFTER LOVE DISPUTE

Brad Pitt is wary of revisiting Scotland after he was driven out of town by a love rival in his youth.

The Hollywood hunk travelled around the country before he shot to fame and embarked on a relationship with a woman in Glasgow.

But his lover's ex-boyfriend was fuming about the romance - and was determined to exact revenge on Pitt.

He tells Britain's The Sun, "I went to Scotland and travelled around years ago. I went everywhere, saw it all. Edinburgh and Glasgow were special - the architecture is something there.

"When I was in Glasgow I got involved with this girl. She happened to be the ex-girlfriend of a bit of a bad guy. I ended up having to get out of town because I was getting 'that' look from a guy behind a bar.

"I think there is something about rival gangs in the city and I was about to find I was involved. I had to get out of there. It was heavy."

But Pitt has vowed to overcome his worries if a role requires him to shoot in the country. He adds: "Last year (director) Matthew (Vaughn) and I were looking at doing some filming up there. We had a look at some castles. We'll definitely be back."
