We love you Brad! Pitt is mobbed by fans as he goes it alone at 12 Years A Slave screening at Toronto Film Festival

He is an industry legend, and his turn on the red carpet proved he's still got that star quality.

With Angelina Jolie directing a film in Australia, Brad Pitt arrived solo at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada on Friday looking every bit the handsome, dapper star.

The 49-year-old actor shone as he lead the way into the theatre to welcome his latest movie, 12 Years A Slave, in which he plays an abolitionist in pre-Civil War America.

Brad looked nothing short of suave in a slick black suit with a crisp white shirt beneath it.

He pulled his lengthy locks back into an easy ponytail as he made his way through the promotional trail, posing on the red carpet and chatting with media.

And the Oscar-nominated actor was well and truly generous with his time when it came to his fans, even stopping to take a few fun 'selfie' snaps with a lucky few.

The multi-tasking actor, producer, philanthropist and father-of-six seemed to have a limitless supply of smiles as he made his way towards the theatre.
12 Years A Slave is based on the 1853 autobiography by Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold as a slave.

It follows the story of Solomon - played by Chiwetel Ejiofor - who faces harsh cruelty by malevolent slave owner - played by Michael Fassbender.
