overview

Current hottest man in Hollywood and 21st century Rat Packer Brad Pitt was born in Shawnee, OK on December 18, 1963. The oldest of three siblings, Brad grew up in Missouri and made his way to California post-college to seek fame, and hopefully, fortune. He first hit the acting scene in 1987 with a string of television appearances on shows like “Dallas,” “Head of the Class” and “Thirtysomething.” Brad’s first notable movie exposure (including a hot semi-nude shot) came in “Thelma and Louise,” although his first high-profile starring role didn’t come until the following year, in 1992’s “A River Runs Through It.”

Along the way, Brad has generated romantic headlines with top tier actresses such as Gwynth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston (whom he married) and currently with Angelina Jolie, as one half of the couple everyone loves to love. Brad, with Angelina, became the adoptive parents of Maddox, Pax and Zahara.  They also had three biological children: Shiloh, and twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.

He’s an actor who’s easy to admire and it seems there’s been no stopping the affable cutie who remains perpetually at the top of everyone’s everything list.
