Brad Pitt Special. The consecrated leading man of contemporary cinema turns 60. We review part of his professional career and some personal anecdotes
William Bradley Pitt, seaman, Brad Pitt is already 60 years old, and we haven’t even realized. The one born in Oklahoma in December 1963 is, surely, and with all certainty, one of the most popular and desired people in the world. The actor, twice named “the sexiest man in the world” by the magazine Peoplecame to the seventh art at a time when cinema was more than just entertainment: represented the idyllic path by which things could be achieved. The true American dream: stepping on the “Hollywood” sign and observing the mecca of cinema from a considerable, scenic height. Pitt managed to enter the podium of the most desired and sought-after men in the industrywhich he ended up praising and cursing in equal measure.
Summarizing Brad Pitt in the six decades he celebrates today is “dodgy,” because It would take much more to encompass the most sweetened and corrupted face., but at the same time vital, of the audiovisual industry in recent times. Because In addition to being an actor, producer, attractive, philanthropist, atheist, sex-symbol and blonde, the leading man of contemporary cinema has achieved an irregular, rude and raw career at the same time, in which he has had time to violate, stress and excite the viewer.. Also to show off the star-system of the nineties and later, to lift, relax and also worsen the Hollywood box office, but in forty years there has been time for everything to happen.
First jobs and appearances: from delivery boy to sexy attraction in ‘Thelma & Louise’
Is almost journalist. He studied Information Sciences at university, but abandoned his studies to try his luck as an actor, moving to Hollywood as soon as he made the decision. ANDHe started in Los Angeles as a flyer deliveryman, dressed as a chicken, for the fast food restaurant El Pollo Loco. DHe debuted on screen in the television comedy, ‘Problems Grow’, where he appeared twice playing different characters. His jump to the big screen occurs with the vindictive film ‘Thelma & Louise’ by Ridley Scott, where he sexually liberates a repressed Geena Daviswhose erotic adventures in the film made him a world renowned sexual icon. Newly released myth that would soon be compared to Robert Redford, who saw enough potential in him to, in 1992, be a free rebel in ‘The River of Life’.
Kirsten Dust: “Brad Pitt would even have lice”
The nineties were his. In 1994, she filmed Edward Zwick’s ‘Legends of Passion’. A film that was initially conceived for Sean Connery and Tom Cruise (they also offered it to Johnny Depp) and that, finally, Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt ended up making. He plays a furtive lover lost by Julia Ormond with whom, according to his own statements, He maintained a “sexual tension” that he let the press know. Curiously, years later, the actor would end up having Ormond as his daughter in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’. Precisely, with Tom Cruise would face each other in ‘Interview with the Vampire’, where he had to stand on stilts to match Pitt in height. By the way, The kiss she gave Kirsten Dust made the actress unleash envy among her friends, although she has regretted it her entire life: “Brad Pitt would even have lice”she said.
David Fincher, the savior of Brad Pitt’s career
Although thanks to the futuristic ’12 Monkeys’ he would be recognized among academicism by winning the Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination (his first), ‘Seven’ positioned the actor favorably. Hired to make the filming of Gwyneth Paltrow (Brad Pitt’s girlfriend at the time), and whom David Fincher loved no matter what, Pitt was a wonderful rookie police officer in the shadow of veteran Morgan Freeman, establishing the film as one of the best contemporary thrillers.. His next great work, another cult film, ‘Fight Club’, was also directed by Fincher. Necessary for his uneven career, it ended up consolidating the performer as a worthy gallant, who wisely knew how to combine aggressiveness and attractiveness, a quality he achieved by licking his lips in seconds. (constant tick throughout the film). This will be followed by titles such as ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, ‘Confessions of a Dangerous Mind’ or ‘Troy’.
The beginning, rise and end of “Brangelina”
Married to Jennifer Aniston, whom Pitt claims to have not been unfaithful to, Doug Liman met the actor already Angelina Jolie for ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, where, as husband and wife, they led a double life as bloodthirsty hitmen. A union that they carried beyond the screen, since that filming marked the beginning of the most famous contemporary romance in Hollywood. The term “Brangelina”, which seemed derogatory to both, swept the society eager for romanticism between two of the current beauties of the seventh art. Love story that lasted until 2014, when the couple starred in one of the most famous media and cinematic breakups in recent times. However, the subsequent installments of the aforementioned ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and his histrionic work in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’ marked his continuity on the podium of “great American star.”
New filmmakers, Oscars and blockbusters
Admirer of daring filmmakers, the new names have made Pitt take risks more recently. More than ten years ago ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, again by David Fincher. The curious biological evolution from old to young delighted both critics and the public. ‘The Tree of Life’ by Terrence Malick was another of the harshest examples of his most severe side, followed by the miserable and Oscar-winning ’12 Years a Slave’ by Steve McQueen. His brave, abolitionist and secondary performance earned him his first Oscar, thanks to the film that he himself produced and which also received the Best Picture award.: “This victory is important to give meaning to history”. Also produced in-house is ‘World War Z’, directed by Marc Foster, which stood out commercially, becoming the actor’s highest-grossing release to date.
Architect, producer and staunch defender of social causes
Since already (too much) his status as a respected star is assured, Brad Pitt’s most recent appearances in film focus on cameos (‘Deadpool 2’) and star appearances as himself (‘The Audition’, a short film by Martin Scorsese). However, the most notable are the intimate (which supposedly reflected the breakup of “Brangelina”) ‘Frente al mar’, the financial and bombastic ‘The Big Short’, the interplanetary ‘Ad Astra’ or the Hollywood and internationally renowned ‘Once Upon a Time’. in Hollywood’ by Tarantino, for which he won his second Oscar as an actor, in this case, in a supporting role. Although his role as a performer has been combined with his work as a producer of great and renowned films (he recently produced ‘Blonde’), Brad Pitt adds to his work in cinema, his practices as an architect and defense for different social causes. Let’s see, Brad Pitt is much more than a pretty face.
