Since his high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has been pretty MIA.

But on Wednesday, April 5, the 53-year-old dusted off his best red carpet threads and made a rare outing for the premiere of his film The Lost City of Z, which he produced, at the ArcLight in Hollywood.

Brad is a producer on the film.

The 53-year-old was in great spirits at the event.

The father-of-six worked a more casual look in a cap, a black bomber jacket, a white shirt and trousers.

Brad skipped doing any official press at the bash but happily greeted well-wishers who had camped out to see him.

Fans were quick to point out the actor looked noticeably slimmer but the actor appeared to be in great spirits.

Brad opted for a more casual look.

Also in attendance were the movie’s lead stars, Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam.

The film, which was produced by Brad’s Plan B Entertainment company, is based on the true story of British explorer Col. Percival Fawcet, who vanishes during an expedition in the Amazon in the 1920s.

This marks Brad’s second red carpet appearance since his split after he attended the Allied premiere last November.

Proving he and Angie have turned a corner, it was recently reported Brad made a secret trips to Cambodia to visit his children while the actress worked on her latest film, First They Killed My Father.

“All through production and filming, and on her most recent press trip, Brad came to Cambodia in secret to spend time with the kids,” a source told E! News.

“They were with Angelina for probably 75 percent of the time when Brad was in the country and they’d go back and forth between her and Brad.”

In February, Angelina opened up about their break-up telling BBC: “Many people find themselves in this situation.

“My whole family, we’ve all been through a difficult time. My focus is my children — our children — and my focus is finding this way through. As I said, we are and forever will be a family. So that is how I am coping. I am coping with finding a way through to make sure this somehow makes us stronger and closer.”
