Pitt has kept a low profile since his split from Angelina
Jolie in September after an incident in which the 52-year-old
actor was reported to have lost his temper in front of one or
more of their children.
Earlier this month he attended an "Allied" fan event in Los
Angeles, hours after he was cleared of child abuse allegations.
Resuming promotional duties for the film, in which he plays
Canadian intelligence officer Max Vatan alongside Cotillard's
French Resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour, Pitt attended the
film's premiere in Paris on Sunday night, where he was greeted
by cheering fans asking for selfies and his autograph.
He and Cotillard were due to hit the red carpet in London later
on Monday for the movie's British premiere.
In the film, which kicks off in 1942 North Africa, Vatan and
Beausejour join forces to assassinate a German ambassador. They
portray a married couple for their mission and later fall in
love. However, their relationship is put to the test when
Beausejour's allegiances are questioned.
"This one was more a universal story about ... love, I would say
trust," Pitt said in Paris. "Trust in the person you love, trust
in your intuition, trusting even the job you are doing, the
mission itself, and that's what I most liked about the script.
That's what I focused on really".
"Allied" hits cinemas worldwide from Wednesday.
