LOS ANGELES, April 26 (UPI) -- Brad Pitt says flimsy footwear was to blame for the facial bruises he sported at Saturday's 3rd annual Light Up the Blues Concert in Hollywood.

"This is what happens when you try to run up steps in the dark, with your arms full, wearing flip-flops," the actor and father of six children said in a statement to People magazine Sunday.

"Turns out, if you then try to stop your forward momentum with your face, the result is road rash," he added. "Regardless, I wasn't going to miss the Autism Speaks benefit the night after -- wonderful people and I was honored to be a part of this important event."
