KEY POINTS:
Brad Pitt was called for jury duty at a Los Angeles court last Thursday.
The Fight Club star - who has postponed his civic duty several times, due to work commitments - took a 'red eye' flight from Chicago to be in court for the DUI (driving under the influence) case.
Brad, 43, arrived at court in a chauffeured SUV wearing a white T-shirt, dark jeans, a black cap and a juror badge and brought a book to read.
Us Magazine reported Pitt was quietly reading his book when he was interrupted by woman who confronted him with a magazine that declared his split from Angelina Jolie, asking, "Is this true?"
When the jurors broke for lunch, the Hollywood heartthrob stayed in a private room and sent his assistant out to get him a Subway sandwich.
Just before Brad and the jurors were due to be called into court, lawyers announced they might have a plea agreement.
The potential jurors waited patiently only to be told the defendant had pleaded "no contest" to DUI charges and Brad and the other were excused.
The actor returned to Chicago where girlfriend Angelina and their four children are currently staying while the actress is filming scenes for her new movie Wanted.
