Brad Pitt Turns 62: See How the Hollywood Star Has Changed Over the Years

Brad Pitt, one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars, is celebrating his 62nd birthday. Fans might find it hard to believe that it’s been over three decades since he first captured hearts with his shirtless scene in Thelma & Louise (1991). Even as trends change and new actors rise, Pitt has remained a constant figure in Hollywood.

Born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and raised in Missouri, Pitt originally studied journalism and advertising. Just two weeks before graduating, he decided to move to Hollywood, a choice that changed his life and the film industry.

He started acting in television in the late 1980s, but it was his role in Thelma & Louise that brought him global attention. That brief scene made audiences notice him, and Hollywood quickly realized that Pitt was more than just a handsome face.

During the 1990s, he starred in films like A River Runs Through It, Interview with the Vampire, Legends of the Fall, and Se7en. Fight Club (1999) became a cult classic that is still referenced today. Pitt, often recognized for his looks, proved over time that he could take on complex and challenging roles.

In 2004, he played Achilles in Troy, further cementing his status as a Hollywood star.

He reached a career milestone in 2020 when he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Besides acting, Pitt is a successful producer through his company Plan B, which produced award-winning films like 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight.

Pitt’s personal life has also been in the public eye. In the 1990s, he was in a relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow, and they were even engaged, but it ended in 1997.

In 2000, he married Jennifer Aniston, becoming one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples before their divorce in 2005.

That same year, Pitt began his highly publicized relationship with Angelina Jolie, whom he met while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Known as “Brangelina,” they married in 2014 and have six children together, three of whom are adopted. Their divorce in 2019 and ongoing custody disputes have remained a widely reported topic in the media.

Recent reports suggest that Pitt’s relationship with some of his children has been strained, particularly after the Jolie divorce. Some children have reportedly distanced themselves, even choosing to use their mother’s surname publicly. Pitt rarely comments on this publicly, keeping this aspect of his life private.

In 2022, it was confirmed that Pitt began a relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.

Sources close to him describe the actor as being in a calm and stable phase of life. Despite his age, Pitt shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to work on major film projects and remains a prominent figure at red carpet events, aging with the charm that has defined his career.

From the young heartthrob whose posters covered teenagers’ walls worldwide to a seasoned Oscar-winning actor and film producer, Brad Pitt’s career and life continue to capture attention. As fans, we can reflect on all the phases of his journey and celebrate his ongoing impact on Hollywood.
