Brad Pitt had managed to remain incognito for much of his visit – many of the students had simply not recognised that we had a Hollywood superstar in our midst – but soon he would be returning home.

I’d really enjoyed Brad’s company, and he mine. We had long chats about his career, and his rise to stardom through performances in Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark (both of which I admitted I couldn’t recall), and Thelma and Louise (which I remembered only too well). As Brad confessed how much he was going to miss me, I was busily working out how to get the best photograph of us together. I couldn’t wait to reveal to everyone (and especially my sister J) how I’d spent my summer.
