Biography
Handsome, blond, blue-eyed actor, William Bradley Pitt made his
Hollywood debut in 1991, in a minor part in “Thelma and Louise.” Since
then, his sharp good looks have been featured in many films and have won
him such accolades as “sexiest man alive” (People magazine, 1995 and
2000) and being named #23 of the 100 sexiest stars alive (Empire magazine,
1995). He followed his short but memorable appearance in “Thelma and
Louise” with a feature role in “A River Runs Through It,” directed
by Robert Redford, and his career really took off. While critics may
question his greatness as an actor, the public adores him, and he is
reported to be earning over $17 million per picture. His acting awards
include a 1995 nomination for an Academy Award and Golden Globe award in
1996, both for his supporting role in “Twelve Monkeys,” as well as an
Emmy nomination for his guest appearance in “Friends” in 2002.
The eldest of three children, Pitt grew up in Springfield, Missouri. He
graduated from Kickapoo High School where he played tennis and basketball,
sang in choir, acted in drama class, debated on the debate team, and was
active in student government. He was named “Best Dressed” by his
classmates. Although he attended the University of Missouri, majoring in
journalism and advertising, he left just short of graduation, but not
before posing for a pinup calendar. He arrived in Los Angeles to pursue
his dream of an acting career, initially landing such jobs as driving
strippers around in a limo and dressing up in a chicken outfit, handing
out cigarette samples for a restaurant.
His love life has been the subject of much public interest, and he has
been romantically linked with Juliette Lewis and Geena Davis, among
others. In 1995, he met Gwyneth Paltrow, his co-star in “Seven.” They
became engaged on 12/20/1996, but their relationship ended on 6/16/1997.
Shortly afterward he met Jennifer Aniston of TV’s hit show “Friends,”
and they exchanged vows in a million dollar wedding on 7/29/2000. His
hobbies are interior design and architecture, and he claims, “I’d like
to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands-on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.”
He has also been quoted as saying, “Fame is a bitch, man.”

Brad Pitt Quotes:
“I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics.”
"Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed."
"Fame is a bitch, man."
"You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's
why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel
China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a
f---ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment,
basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on
makeup."

What Do You Think?
Brad Pitt was on screen for a total of 15 minutes in “Thelma and
Louise”, but that was enough to sear him into the feminine psyche as “Sexiest
Man Alive”. He is the only one to be given that title twice by People
Magazine and it’s been a source of irritation for him. He hates how it
gets in the way of his being seen as a serious actor. Perhaps it has
become a chip on his shoulder as he has passed over blockbuster roles like
the lead in “The Matrix” to play in smaller, more arty films. We have seen him in “The
Fight Club,” “The Mexican,” “Seven Years in Tibet,” “The River
Runs Through It,” “Ocean’s 11” and “Twelve Monkeys” for which he
received a nomination for supporting best actor. He has gorgeous looks and
a "tough, yet vulnerable and sensitive" thing, that makes women
swoon.
