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.
In 1995, he was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 25 sexiest stars in film history.
Pitt was involved in a long-term relationship with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. They became engaged in December 1996, but it didn't last long and the two split up in June 1997. Extensive tabloid coverage surrounded the relationship. Nude photographs of the couple - taken by paparazzi without permission - controversially appeared in magazines.
