All eyes were on the world’s most famous couple of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as they appeared at the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday, January 7. The 48-year-old actor was spotted walking with the help of a cane on the red carpet of the event in which he was honored with the Desert Palm Achievement Award for his work in blockbusters Moneyball and The Tree of Life. He was also accompanied by his wife Angelina Jolie at the event held at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California.

Although the Brad Pitt had his stick by his side, the star needed some help to walk down the red carpet. Brad, who carried a cane during the festivities, shared about the reason behind his new pal, saying that he injured himself when he wiped out on a ski slope while carrying his daughter Vivienne down the hill.

Angelina Jolie also said about the accident of her husband: “Everyone's fine. I think all parents get injured in the line of fire! When Maddox was young, I fell and hurt my elbow. It's a pretty common occurrence.” Brad Pitt’s unexpected injury couldn’t slow down these busy parents. The Jolie-Pitt family celebrated the seventh birthday of their child Zahara on Sunday.

The Moneyball star looked elegant in a smart black suit and tie with a crisp white shirt, while Angelina looked gorgeous by his side in a cafe latte colored silk chiffon pleated Elie Saab halter gown. The couple was as in love as ever in front of the crowds of screaming fans at the 2012 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
