Snow joke: Brad Pitt revealed he injured his leg on a ski slope while carrying one of the twins as she arrived at a film gala with a cane beside partner Angelina Jolie

He is said to be recovering from a torn medial collateral ligament and was seen walking with a cane on Thursday.
But Brad Pitt is not putting his feet up and tonight he walked the red carpet with the help of a stick and he revealed how he had suffered his leg injury - falling over on a ski slope.
The 48-year-old actor was accompanied by partner Angelina Jolie as they arrived at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala.
