Forbidden Territory
People of global fame often seem to have the world at their feet, but that’s not always the case. At least temporarily, Brad Pitt was banned from entering China. Why? The Chinese government vehemently disapproved of his 1997 film “Seven Years in Tibet,” believing it portrayed the People’s Republic of China in a negative light and the Dalai Lama in a positive one.
However, after nearly twenty years, Pitt’s ban was lifted and he could step foot in China. He even promoted his 2016 film “Allied” within the country.
