Nicky Byrne shares hilarious story of how he was mistaken for Brad Pitt

Nicky Byrne has opened up about a hilarious interaction he had with fans in Indonesia.

The ‘fans’ however, were more fans of A list actor Brad Pitt and not Westlife singer Nicky Byrne.

Recounting how he went out for a coffee with bandmate Shane before their show in Sentul City, Nicky posted a picture of his coffee which read: ‘Brad Pitt’. Taking the mistake as a compliment, he wrote:

“Well the Indonesian barista may have been mistaken – but hey, I’ll take it”

People found the interaction hilarious, with many taking to the comments section to share their thoughts.

“Amazing!” wrote Laura Whitmore.

While Martin Compston hilariously wrote: “Brad O’pitt”

Jake Carter also couldn’t help but get in on the banter commented a string of laughing emojis under the post.

Nicky and his Westlfie bandmates are currenting touring Asia. It comes as he announced that he would be stepping down from his presenting role on Dancing With The Stars to focus on his commitments with the band.
