Brad Pitt is proving to be more of a down-to-earth dude with each passing day!
Angelina Jolie's mom just died & the whole family is sad ... But the paparazzi don't seem to give a rat about that!
As usual, 10's of paparazzi's are parked outside Brad's Hollywood Hills mansion & are waiting for that perfect moment to start attacking Brad & Angelina with their lenses & flashes!
So, this is what Brad did yesterday ...

He stepped outside & talked to every single photographer stationed outside his mansion, making a personal plea for privacy. Do you think the paparazzi listened?
Some of them packed their stuff & hit the road, others seemed to be as deaf & a brick! They didn't budge & kept flashing their cameras in Brad's face!
