Brad Pitt was forced to hitch a lift from a paparazzo on Thursday (02Jul09) - when his motorbike broke down on a busy Hollywood street.

The actor was being tailed by photographers as he rode the classic motorcycle through Los Angeles - and the snappers got their shot when Pitt's vehicle came to an abrupt halt.

The 45 year old attempted to fix the bike - but when his efforts failed, he thumbed for a lift from a kind snapper, according to Radaronline.com. (CL/WNWCDAR/MJ)
