    The one thing I really like about Brad Pitt is the he plays interesting characters in his movies. He seems to do his own thing, and I respect that completely. And with all the loot that man is sitting on.. he’s earned the right to do whatever (career wise) he wants.

  2. FF says:

    He’s been washed up for a while. It’s just that before he was washed up and married to Jennifer Aniston and part of the Hollywood ‘untouchable’ set. Now that he’s with Angie and criticism of him is high, it’s kind of open season on his ass.

    That said, the british press do this to everyone eventually. Last year it was Ewan McGregor and Jude Law.

    And yes, unless he’s lucky, one day it will be Matt Damon’s turn.

    ps – everytime Pitt’s career is sagging, he does a David Fincher movie.

    It’s just like back in the day, whenever Schwartzenegger’s career was sagging, he did a James Cameron movie.

    Most of these stars don’t do remarkable work. They’re just well liked, and likewise well hyped. And hey, they look good on screen. Also, because they don’t tend to do anything to hurt their public image people accept what’s hyped about them. While a few of us do wonder what the hell everyone’s getting so starry eyed over.

    Then the press either decides their times up, or they (the celebs) piss off the press too much, or their public image takes a massive dent and that’s it – their bubble is about to burst and everybody has a pin. Meanwhile the few of us who were never big fans in the first place wonder why everyone finds the truth so shocking they want to punish the celeb for actually realising they succumbed to a lot of hype in the first place.

    Pitt’s what he’s always been: not that great, not that bad, capable of standout roles but usually when he’s standing next to a better actor (Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton). And for the record, Mr & Mrs Smith sucked. And if there was a reason to put yourself through the torture of watching it, it wasn’t for Brad’s acting. Sry2say.

    People are just ragging because his looks are fading, and there’s nothing to hide behind now.

    It must be hard to be Brad Pitt. Everybody says that you are the handsomest, most desirable man on Earth. But at the same time, everybody is salivating for the moment you fall from your pedestal!

  5. Ginny says:

    He looks kinda like Bill Clinton in the last picture. Weird.

  6. Poor Boopie says:

    Well, for being “washed up”, he’s still one of the highest if not THE highest paid actor in Hollywood.
    Personally, I don’t think he’s that great of an actor. Overrated and overpaid!

  7. Ursula says:

    oh, for Heaven’s sake……….
    it’s nice to see the man have other priorities other than “he who dies with the most toys wins…….”
    good for him to enjoy his cash and do something he finds meaningful.
    I suspect that’s what Aniston could never understand about him…….apparently he’s more than a money-hungry poster boy.

    His looks are fading? Jesus H Christ. He looks like the very handsome 40 year old man that he is. He’s getting older, not uglier.

    I doubt he gives a shit about any of the crap that author would have us believe he cares about. I’d suggest his life is probably full and meaningful enough in other areas (architecture, family, charity). It is possible he simply views his movie career as a pay cheque.

  9. alexi says:

    I agree. He actually looks like a human being rather than a wax figure – he is gorgeous through and through. He seems to be a compassionate doer – rather than just a celeb he pushes himself in other arenas and gives back to charitiies. Also, unlike Madonna he does not go ON AND ON AND ON (yawn) about how great he is……Brad is classically handsome, and this shows a nice tan sans BOTOX 🙂

    His looks are not fading, just maturing. It does look like he forgot the sunscreen while following Jolie around, though. And somebody, please, give the man a chapstick!

    Brad Pitt is sort of the pizza of the acting world- it’s never really that bad, no matter what variety it is- it’s palatable and you know you will crave it again and eat it again soon. Be palatable is sort of his Mantra. I never thought he was that hot except when he was fresh on the scene in Thelma and Louise. Lord knows he has made enough money so if he were to stop know I don’t think he would be hurting so who cares if he stops.

  12. Gigohead says:

    Yes, he’s older but he’s a good looking man. He was quite enjoyable in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Poor Brad, he is suffering from overexposure.

  13. Action says:

    He is good looking, but in a boyish way. His looks are fading fast. He hasn’t grown older gracefully the way Clooney or Connery has. His looks are tied to his boyish charm. That won’t stay with him as he matures.

    Don’t get me wrong. He’s still quite a handsome man (albeit, an ass) but it’s not the same as it was in the 90’s and not getting better in a different way.

  14. sabine says:

    Washed up? Geez…i’d like to be ‘that washed-up’ looking.
    The Man is gorgeous. He can do whatever he wants. Good-looking isn’t just for 25 year olds. People get more interesting with age.
    He seems to be doing what he wants to be doing so I am not going to beat up on the guy…besides, how many of us have 42 year old boyfriends or husbands that LOOK LIKE THAT???

  15. FF says:

    I’m not comparing him to any other ‘average’ 40 year old or any other 40 year old in Hollywood, I’m comparing him to how he used to look and yes, his looks are fading.

    The above poster got it exactly right, his handsomeness is tied to his boyishness and that’s not going to stay with him as he gets older.

    Have to say, I agree with Kim, I only ever found him hot in Thelma & Louise.

  16. Solitaire says:

    he is hot! i love him, who cares what flims he does? he looks mature and sexy – gets better every day!!! mmm! yummy we love you Brad!

  17. wtf says:

    you people are insane to think you’d turn down meat like this!? hahahaha he is SMOKING hot. clooney and connery always looked too sleazy and closet homosexual for me.

  18. sabine says:

    Here’s my second comment: I’ll take Brad Pitt ANYDAY….
    besides, nobody’s getting any younger!

  19. jacky says:

    Every since he left Jennifer I dont like him anymore. He was so sneeky about it.

    Like when keven kosner broke up with his wife “which he said he would never do” until a 22 year came along. It does matter to me what they do in their persol lives
