Brad Pitt awkwardly gets cut off during Los Angeles county hearing

Brad Pitt learned that "cut" doesn't apply only to movie sets.

The actor spoke out in support of proposed improvements of the Los Angeles County Museum at a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors hearing – that is until he got cut off.

Pitt, 55, went over his allotted time during his speech, and board member Janie Hahn had to tell the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star to wrap it up.

"I see my time's expired, I could go on for another hour," Pitt said.

"It gives me great pain to say it but wrap it up Mr. Pitt! It kills me to say that, but wrap it up," Hahn said with a laugh.

Pitt laughed at the exchange, saying, "We actors suffer from verbosity."

And he proved that, continuing to advocate for the board members to "take a leap of faith" in the proposed changes to the museum.

Hahn then said "thank you" multiple times as Pitt continued to speak past his allotted time, awkwardly having to push him to finish his remarks.

Actress Diane Keaton was also at the meeting, but the "Today" show reports that she kept within her allotted window to speak, even having time left over.
