Hollywood actress Cassandra Peterson shared this amusing story in an interview about Pitt’s longtime home.What Cassandra Peterson said about the neighbourIn a conversation with PEOPLE, Peterson said that Pitt purchased a neighbouring property occupied by an elderly man. Rather than asking him to leave after buying the house, the actor allowed him to continue living there without rent.
