Hey, my name's Doug - ice to meet you. Picture. Liz Burke / Twitter Source: news.com.au
- Doug Pitt is like a real star. Sort of.
- Doug Pitt has his own ice sculpture
- Doug Pitt is handsome
I WAS late this morning because I was out partying with Doug Pitt. THE Doug Pitt. And we weren't actually partying.
The star of Virgin Mobile's brilliant 'Fair Go Bro' bro-motion, Doug's a case of life beginning to imitate art.
He's actually, kinda, like, a pretty big deal now. Ask your friends.
The red carpet was literally rolled out in Sydney last night for Brad Pitt's brother, who, in true star style, came late and left early.
Fake paps snapped and clicked and asked me who I was wearing.
"Ah....... orange?"
He popped in and made an appearance. Last night, Doug Pitt wasn't the nerdy dad from Missouri with three teenagers and a computer shop and a really, really famous brother. Last night, he was THE Doug Pitt.
Virgin have created a monster. AND I GOT A PHOTO WITH HIM, SO, YEAH.

Doug's a striking man in person. Well groomed, fit, a flashy smile and a firm handshake. There's a hint of doppelganger Zach Braff there.
You couldn't get a word in because of two things:
a) He was there for about 45 minutes;
b) Everyone was clamouring for some Instagram action for Australia's favourite new star.
His minders ushered him in and out, and he strode around the room with the swagger you imagine his brother having. He was wearing a loose-fitting tie-dye shirt.
You were in Doug's presence last night - he wasn't in yours.
Plus there was an ice sculpting of his head. Which was definitely not weird. And which I definitely did not kiss when no-one was looking. I don't know how Angelina Jolie copes with the pressure of having such a famous (soon to be) brother-in-law.
Okay, so here's reality come to ruin the party.
"I've had a front row seat to Brad and his life and this is extremely minor in comparison to what he goes through," he says.
"He casts a very big shadow, but man I'm so proud of him."
And when the ice has melted, Doug will go back to his wife of 22 years, vote Conservative and guide his three kids through their teenage years.
Because you can't be Doug Pitt and be a celebrity. That's just ridiculous.
