Shania Twain reveals why Brad Pitt didn't impress her much
Shania Twain revealed why after so nearly two decades Brad Pitt doesn't impress her much.
At a music event in New York last week, the pop-country singer spoke to fans about her upcoming album, Now, and looked back on some classics.
The 1998 hit "That Don't Impress Me Much" included lines like, "OK, so you're a rocket scientist" and "OK, so you're Brad Pitt," followed by "that don't impress me much."
Why single out Pitt? Back in 1997, Playgirl printed nude photos of the actor that he claims were stolen when he was vacationing with former girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.
Twain told fans that the photo scandal was buzzing through the media while she was writing this album.
"I just thought, 'I don't know what all the fuss is about.' I'm like, well that don't impress me much, I mean what is all the fuss. We see people naked every day. That's really what I thought. I wasn't picking on Brad Pitt," she said.
Pitt just happened to be the center of attention at the time. But his moment of infamy was forever immortalized in what became a hit song. "Of course, it could have been any gorgeous guy," Twain conceded.
Brad Pitt still doesn't impress Shania Twain much.
