However, things went wrong when the unnamed woman put her hand around his neck and kissed his cheek.
As she grabbed him and gave him a kiss, Brad could be seen trying to free himself.
His security eventually intervened and pulled the laughing woman away from the actor.
People across the web flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the shocking fan moment.
One person said: ‘This is absolutely disrespectful. First, you are invading his personal space and HE IS HUMAN, second, you don’t have his permission and you didn’t even ask about it. Third, he’s tired from filming and came back to take a photo with you anyway, can you act respectful?

He is too patient
DailyMail.com has contacted Brad’s representatives for comment.
The actor has been busy filming his F1 movie for more than a year.
