10 Deleted Movie Scenes That Explain Confusing Moments

10. Why Does Brad Pitt Still Wear His Wedding Ring? - Moneyball

The Confusing Moment

Many viewers of Moneyball have noted the puzzling fact that, despite Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) being divorced in the film, he's still visibly wearing his wedding ring in every single scene.

Given that Billy doesn't seem to have any obsessive residual feelings for his ex-wife Sharon (Robin Wright), why on Earth is he still wearing the ring?

The Deleted Scene

An entire subplot was removed from the film but included as an extra on the home video release, featuring Billy's new wife as played by Cold Case star Kathryn Morris.

This of course effortlessly explains why Billy still has a ring on his finger, painting him as a far cry from the brooding divorcé that the final cut characterises him as.

There's no word on why director Bennet Miller cut these scenes, though given that the film already clocks in at a beefy 133 minutes, it might simply have been a case of trimming the fat.

The ring probably could've been pretty effortlessly painted out with CGI though, right?
