William Bradley Pitt,
widely known as Brad Pitt (born December 18, 1963), is an American
film actor.
He was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma and raised in Springfield,
Missouri. In high school Pitt was involved in sports, debating,
student government and school musicals. He dropped out of the
University of Missouri School of Journalism. He was two credits shy
of graduating with a Journalism degree, before trying his luck in
Hollywood. Before he became successful at acting, Pitt supported
himself by driving strippers in limos, moving |

refrigerators and dressing as a giant chicken
while working for the restaurant chain El Pollo Loco.
He married actress Jennifer Aniston on July 29, 2000.
He was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor for
his performance in the 1995 film Twelve Monkeys.
Pitt is often referenced to as one of the most attractive people in
the world—or at least in the film business—and it is commonly
recognized to refer to him in this context. |

Trivia
Like many A-List stars, Pitt won't do American commercials, but does
commercials that are seen in Asia only, most notably for Edwin
Jeans, the Toyota Altis, and Japanese canned coffee, ROOTS.
He was previously engaged to actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and dated
actress Juliette Lewis.
He tore his Achilles tendon during the production of Troy, in which
he plays, coincidentally, Achilles.
He sued Damiani International, the company which made the wedding
ring he gave Jennifer Aniston, for selling replica "Brad and
Jennifer" rings. According to Pitt, the ring was his design and was
to be exclusive. Under the settlement reached in January 2002, Pitt
will design jewelry for Damiani that Aniston will model in ads, and
the company will stop selling the copies. |
