Brad Pitt, born December 18, 1963, is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actor known for his many celebrated and unconventional characters. As one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, he has appeared in more than 50 films, including Thelma & Louise, Fight Club, Moneyball, Se7ven, and the Ocean's trilogy. He's also known for his high-profile marriages with Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.
Brad Pitt was born William Bradley Pitt on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to parents William Alvin Pitt and Jane Etta Pitt. His father owned a trucking company, and his mother worked as a family counselor. When Brad was only a few years old, the family relocated to Tulsa and eventually settled down in Springfield, Missouri. Pitt and his two younger siblings were raised there, and Pitt early on was inspired by his father's wisdom words about never doing something he didn't think was fun.
Brad Pitt attended Kickapoo High School, where he played in several musicals. Initially, he didn't want to become an actor but rather an art director, but while he attended the University of Missouri studying journalism, his passion for movies grew. Ultimately, Brad decided to drop out of college "just two credits shy" of his degree and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting dream.
Brad Pitt spent some months driving a limousine while trying to get his first acting job. He took several acting classes, and it was faith that brought him into the scene. Accidentally, an agent signed Brad instead of his friend, and soon after, work began arriving. After work in television, Pitt scored his first big role in the 1991 hit film Thelma & Louise.
Thereafter, his career went straight to the top, and with roles in films such as 12 Monkeys–where he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role–Seven Years in Tibet, Fight Club, S7ven, and Snatch, he cemented his place as a superstar in Hollywood.
Pitt went on to appear in Ocean's Eleven and later Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen. Later, other acclaimed roles included The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Moneyball, The Big Short, Inglious Basterds, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Brad Pitt's parents are named William Alvin Pitt and Jane Etta Pitt. He has one sister, Julie Pitt Neal, and a brother, Doug Pitt.
Pitt has three biological children named Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
As he was on the rise, Brad became a Hollywood sweetheart. In 1994, he met Jennifer Aniston for the first time, and four years later, they began dating. The couple used codenames at hotels in order to be able to get away from the media frenzy, and in 2000, they married. Five years later, the couple divorced but has remained friends since.
In 2004, Brad Pitt and Angelina tied the knot. Their marriage became known in the media as "Brangelina." Together, Pitt and Jolie share three biological children (Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne) and three adopted children (Maddox, Zahara, and Pax).
Pitt and Angelina Jolie's marriage sadly turned worse, and the couple separated. Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 19, 2016, and it took eight years before the divorce settlement was finalized.
According to Angelina Jolie's lawyers, Brad Pitt was abusive toward her before a 2016 plane incident, which was the reason why she left him and later filed for divorce. The FBI opened up an investigation. Brad denied any allegations and in the end, no charges were filed.
Brad Pitt has made millions in his acting career. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has a fortune of around $400 million.
