We just fell in love with Brad Pitt all over again

We didn't know it was possible, but we've just fallen in love with Brad Pitt just that little bit more.

A few weeks ago the gorgeous actor made a trip to New Orleans with chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres to see how work was going in rebuilding the area that was worst ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Through his Make It Right organisation, Pitt has built many sustainable and affordable homes in the Ninth Ward of the city which was worst hit by the storm, with the aim being to make a grand total of 150.

As he strolled around the neighbourhood, people seemed thrilled to see the Hollywood star and he in turn greeted most of them by name and was beaming as he showed DeGeneres around.

When praised by his friend DeGeneres for his charity work, the star was humble and rather shy, saying: 'I’m getting far too much credit for this. This took a lot of very smart people coming in and attacking the situation. It took the families determined to come back [after Hurricane Katrina] and their resilience and they’re defining what this thing was going to be.

'I get far too much credit for bringing some really smart people together.'

What a guy!
