Brad Pitt Biography
William Bradley Pitt, eldest son of William and Jane Pitt was born on December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Shortly after his birth the family moved to Springfield Missouri, where Brad grew up, attending local schools and graduating from Kickapoo High in 1982.
The true Brad Pitt biography begins when Brad was attending the University of Missouri, majoring in Journalism. With just 2 credits shy of his degree, Brad made a bold decision to move to California and begin a career in acting. His early love of movies and television most likely inspired this decision as he longed to become a movie star.
That lifelong dream would eventually come true for Brad as in 1991 he received a big break in the film Thelma and Louise, which propelled him not only into stardom as an actor, but as a sex symbol as well. During his career, he has adorned the front cover of numerous entertainment magazines more than 150 times, and was voted sexiest man alive on more than one occasion.
In 1995, Brad was engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow and eventually broke it off in 1997. Shortly thereafter, he met actress Jennifer Aniston and the two married on July 29, 2000. In January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced their formal separation, and subsequently they divorced. It was during the 2005 filming of Mr. And Mrs. Smith that Brad met his present love, Angelina Jolie, his co-star wife in that movie.
An official documentary on the Brad Pitt biography was featured on A&E’s Biography show in 2004. The documentary chronicles his life story up to the filming of his blockbuster ‘Troy’. The show may have been a little premature in featuring a Brad Pitt biography so early in his career, since the majority of his illustrious career and glamorous personal life happened after 2004.
Today, Brad and his girlfriend Angelina Jolie share their home with their 6 children, while both are still quite active in the film industry. A complete Brad Pitt biography will include his recent nomination for an Oscar, only the second such nomination he has received, at the 81st Annual Academy Awards, for his lead role in ‘The Curse of Benjamin Button’.
Although the Brad Pitt biography is nowhere complete as his future holds more than 11 projects in the works in producing and acting, it is sufficient to note that Brad Pitt is more than an icon of Hollywood, he is a superior actor, loving father and the dream idol of many fans worldwide.
