Brad Pitt's mum has stunned the movie star's fans by writing an anti-President Barack Obama essay for her local Missouri newspaper.
Jane Pitt doesn't support her son and daughter-in-law-to-be Angelina Jolie's liberal sensibilities and that has been made clear in a letter printed in The Springfield News-Leader.
Urging her fellow Christians to vote for the President's Republican rival Mitt Romney in November (12), Mrs. Pitt calls Obama "a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage".
And Jane insists Obama is the wrong man to be running the country, adding, "Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name (that isn't Romney's) is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama - a man who... did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer."
Her stance comes just a few months after her son opened up about his support for Obama in a candid cover story for The Hollywood Reporter.
Newspaper editors have confirmed the letter to the News-Leader was written by the movie star's mother after some initial confusion.
An editor's note reads: "The News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt."
