Childhood
American actor and producer Brad Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA. The future star grew up in a traditional American family that was both respectable and religious. Brad's father, William Pitt, worked as a manager for a trucking company, and his mother, Jane Etta Hillhouse, worked as a schoolteacher. Brad had two siblings: brother Doug and sister Julie.



Early Roles
First, Bradley shortened his name to the snappy "Brad" and dropped his awkward first name. But creating a memorable stage name was only half the battle. On his path to breaking into the film industry, he had to try his hand at countless jobs. He worked as a driver, a furniture mover, and even a promoter for the "El Pollo Loco" restaurant chain. His last job required him to walk the street in a giant chicken suit and invite guests to eat fried chicken.







The Rise of an Acting Career
1994 became the pivotal year for the young actor when Neil Jordan's film adaptation of Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" hit theaters. Pitt's character—a young aristocrat cursed with vampirism—captivated female audiences and even overshadowed Tom Cruise, who delivered a brilliant performance as the lead vampire Lestat.




Career After "Fight Club" and "Snatch"
In 1999, Pitt starred in what would become one of the most legendary films of his career – David Fincher's "Fight Club," based on Chuck Palahniuk's explosive novel. Pitt took on a completely new role – an uncompromising radical and psychopath. His character Tyler Durden was accompanied by Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter.




In 2020, it was announced that Pitt was filming "Babylon" directed by Damien Chazelle alongside Emma Stone, with the plot taking viewers back to Hollywood of the 1920s. The actors have kept details about the production under wraps.
Brad Pitt's Personal Life
Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt has been famously selective when it comes to love. His romantic history centers around what could be called "four pillars." These four women are household names: Juliette Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie.


Put off by his rough manners, colorful language, and wrinkled clothes, she saw him as uncouth and pressured her daughter. Gwyneth threw herself into transforming her boyfriend's image, but went too far – Brad stepped back and realized they had nothing in common, making all her makeover attempts pointless.


Jennifer felt something was off in their relationship, but even when asked directly, Pitt said he didn't have another woman. Then a paparazzi photo from Africa left Aniston stunned: Brad and Angelina were sitting on the beach, playing with Maddox, the actress's adopted son. The vibe was unmistakably romantic – definitely more than just friendly.









Brad Pitt Now
Though Brad Pitt has entered his seventh decade, he remains a Hollywood sex symbol and one of the most sought-after actors. In 2022, he appeared in the adventure film "The Lost City" with Channing Tatum and the action movie "Bullet Train", plus starred alongside Margot Robbie in the drama "Babylon".
