Brad Pitt's name has long been a household name. The American producer, but above all, the actor is known throughout the world and is the owner of a multi-million army of fans. Excellent external data and outstanding talent paved the way for him in the cinema, erected on the Hollywood Olympus. Brad Pitt, whose biography is familiar to many from episodic facts, including his relationship with D. Aniston and A. Jolie, is loved by the press and television, and therefore does not leave their circle of attention. He, in turn, gives reason to talk, but only on professional topics - otherwise his reputation is impeccable.
Brad Pitt: a brief biography
The future actor was born in the US state of Oklahoma (Shauni) in a very religious family. His father worked for a company specializing in freight transportation, and his mother taught at a local school. Soon after, his family moved to Missouri. B. Pitt has an older brother and sister.
At school, Brad was fond of sports, and after graduation, he entered the university at the faculty of journalism and advertising. However, he was always attracted to acting hypostasis, so after graduation, he did not work by profession, but decided to go to the "dream factory". However, Brad Pitt, a biography whose films are now known to many, did not immediately receive widespread recognition and success. He had to work as a loader, driver, and even a barker in a local cafe. Without losing courage and determination, at the same time he studied at acting courses and for the first time in 1987 took part in the films “The Neutral Strip”, “There Is No Way Out”, “Less Than Zero”, where he performed episodic roles.
Success came seven years later, when the film “Interview with the Vampire” based on the book of the same name by E. Rice was released. He played a major role in the company of Tom Cruise and the still very young Kirsten Dunst. Then came the melodrama Legends of Autumn. The film was based on the book of D. Harrison. For the role of Tristan, B. Pitt was first nominated for one of the most prestigious awards in cinema - Golden Globe. After a bright appearance on the big screen, the actor received recognition not only from the audience, but also from critics - as if from a cornucopia, offers from the most eminent directors rained down on him and a series of successful films, prestigious awards followed, which, however, has not waned so far.
Now Brad Pitt (a biography in English will be more complete and interesting, so loyal fans recommend reading it in the source language) can afford to act less often, but with the best directors and producers, while simultaneously working on their own projects.
Personal life
Whatever the story of the actor’s romantic hobbies and loves, the press and the audience heard three companions of B. Pitt, who themselves have very high-profile names. In 1995, on the set of the film "Seven," fate brought him to Gwyneth Paltrow, who, according to the script, got the role of his wife. The picture almost became prophetic and resulted in a long romance and engagement in 1996. Therefore, a statement about parting after just six months was a complete surprise. The couple dispersed quietly and without any complaints and charges, as well as an explanation of the reasons.
Three years later, on July 29, 2000, the wedding of the actress, known for her role in the series "Friends", Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. The happy couple has been together for five years.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Aniston and chose A. Jolie. Already in 2006 (May 27), the couple had a daughter, Shiloh, and two years later - twins Knox and Vivien. However, these are not all members of their large family: the actor adopted the adopted children of Angelina, and now there are six of them.
The couple’s relationship is time-tested, and in 2014 they legalized them: the wedding took place in the private castle of Miraval in France. It is known that in parallel with a pleasant celebration, a very strict marriage contract was concluded. According to his conditions, in the event of treason by B. Pitt, he will lose all rights to joint custody of children.
