Brad Pitt is a real sex symbol of the 21st century. For many, he will forever remain a handsome blond with blue eyes and an incomparable Hollywood smile. But over his decades-long career in Hollywood, he has changed his style many times (perhaps even more often than Rihanna). In the early 2000s, Brad Pitt preferred jeans and moccasins, and in 2010 he changed his image to a more elegant one, loving large scarves. Let's remember together what Brad Pitt was like in his youth and trace his evolution to the sex symbol we know him as now.

Biography: family and childhood

William Bradley Pitt is the real name of the world-famous actor. He was born on December 18, 1963 in the American city of Shawnee (Oklahoma). He was brought up in a decent and religious family.

Our hero's father, William Pitt, worked as a manager in a company specializing in cargo transportation. And his mother worked as a teacher at a local school. The famous actor has a sister, Julia, and a brother, Doug.

Shortly after Brad was born, the family moved to Springfield, Missouri. The future Hollywood star spent his childhood there. The parents were members of the Baptist church. They tried to raise their children in strictness.

What kind of child was our hero? His energy was the envy of many. The boy studied music and also played basketball and football.

The beginning of a long journey

William Bradley Pitt was born into a religious Baptist family. After high school, he studied journalism in college, but did not enter the profession, but went to Hollywood with only $325 in his pocket. From now on he becomes Brad Pitt.

The future actor worked in many different ways before becoming a world-class star - a driver, a dock worker, an animator, and even advertised a restaurant dressed as a crazy chicken. With the money he earned, he rented housing and paid for acting courses.

Personality formation

After graduating from school, the guy easily entered the University of Missouri, choosing the faculty of journalism and advertising. However, he never worked in his acquired profession.

Once he even had to try on a chicken costume and invite people to the El Pollo Loco restaurant in this form. In his free time from work, our hero attended theater courses.

Biography of Brad Pitt

Real name William Bradley Pitt
Bradley was the first-born in a simple American family. His father worked as a freight manager, his mother taught at a local school. They later had a boy, Doug, and a girl, Julia. Brad's childhood was similar to that of most American children at the time: homework, sports, regular church attendance, including singing in the church choir. In his free time, he studied in a music studio and attended school courses in political literacy. Pitt graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia, studied journalism and advertising production, but did not even think about working in his specialty, going to try his luck in Hollywood. It was then that he shortened his cumbersome double name to the biting Brad, but the “dream factory” did not let the ambitious young man into its arms just like that. For several years he worked various jobs such as a driver, a pool cleaner, a dancer, and a barker in a chicken suit. All this time, Pitt studied acting courses and went to various castings. Since 1987, he began to play in quite noticeable projects on television, and did not disdain filming in advertising, considering acting as a serious and universal profession. It was this approach that ultimately brought him to the sites of his first hits. The early 90s became his finest hour. Over the last decade of the twentieth century, Brad Pitt played several roles that secured his fame not only as an American, but also as a world sex symbol, as well as a professional of the highest level. In 1995, he was nominated for an Oscar for the first time for his role in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in the future his career went exclusively upward. The list of directors with whom Brad has acted includes such masters as Dafydd Fincher, Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino, Alejandro Iñárritu, and the Coen Brothers. Pitt also proved himself successful in the producing field, receiving a well-deserved Oscar in a new capacity for one of his works, namely “12 Years a Slave.” Currently, he continues his work in cinema, several times a year, delighting fans with premieres.

The beginning of a film career

When did Brad Pitt first appear on screens? How old was he then? In 1987, he starred in the popular TV series “Dallas” at that time. The 24-year-old guy coped 100% with the tasks set by the director. Brad enjoyed being on camera.

In the period from 1987 to 1988, several TV series with his participation were released (“Tales from the Crypt”, “Another World”, “No Exit” and others). These were small roles. But the aspiring actor was happy with any work.

In 1989, a young Brad Pitt starred in a Pringles commercial. Could any of the spectators have thought that a tanned blond with a radiant smile would become a Hollywood star in the future?

First serious money

The future millionaire's first serious fee was 12 thousand dollars. “Pass Busy” is a teen film, but one of Pitt’s first “adult” roles. She gave a start to a new life - still without fame and recognition, but the following filming brought a decent, stable income and allowed the star to concentrate on acting and abandon other means of income.

“Interview with the Vampire” is a cult film in the actor’s filmography. A star team, a high-quality film, a bright role, an impressive fee, universal recognition - that’s what this picture gave to Brad Pitt.

Then came the high point in his acting career: various magazines included him in the lists of some of the most attractive and sexy men of our time, the films “Seven”, “Twelve Monkeys”, the cult “Fight Club”, which showed that Pitt was able to embody any image. “Snatch”, “Ocean’s Eleven” and its sequels, “Troy”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and many other films. All of them had excellent reviews and huge box office receipts.

It is noteworthy that the filming was not without injuries for the star. So, while creating the film “Seven,” the actor broke his arm. On the set of “Fight Club,” he chipped off part of a tooth and decided to leave it that way because he thought it emphasized the essence of the character. And during the creation of Troy, paradoxically, he injured his Achilles tendon.

The actor founded his own, quite successful and now thriving film company.

Real success
