Brad Pitt at 62: From ’90s Heartthrob to Hollywood Legend – See How The Actor Has Changed

Brad Pitt is marking another major milestone. The Hollywood actor has turned 62, and his long career is once again putting him in the spotlight. For many fans, it still feels unreal that the man who became famous in the early 1990s is now in his sixties.

Yet Pitt has been a constant presence in movies for more than 30 years, and his name still carries weight in the industry.

Pitt was born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and grew up in Missouri. Before acting, his life looked very different. He studied journalism and advertising in college. Just weeks before graduating, he made a bold choice.

He left school and moved to Los Angeles to chase an acting career. According to widely reported biographies and media profiles, that decision changed his life and helped shape modern Hollywood.

His early acting work came through small roles on television in the late 1980s. Everything changed in 1991 when he appeared in Thelma & Louise. His short role caught instant attention and turned him into a rising star. From there, his career moved fast.

Throughout the 1990s, he took on a mix of drama and thriller roles that showed he could do more than play the handsome lead. Films like Interview with the Vampire, Se7en, and Fight Club helped build his reputation as a serious actor.

By the early 2000s, Pitt was one of the biggest names in movies. He played Achilles in Troy and continued to balance big films with riskier roles.

His work was finally rewarded with an Academy Award in 2020 for his supporting role in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Beyond acting, he also found success behind the scenes. Through his production company Plan B, he helped bring award-winning films like 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight to the screen, as reported by industry outlets.

Pitt’s personal life has also stayed in the public eye for decades. He was once engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow. Later came his high-profile marriage to Jennifer Aniston, which ended in 2005.

That same year, he began a relationship with Angelina Jolie after working together on Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Their partnership, often called “Brangelina” by the media, became one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships of its time. They married in 2014 and share six children. Their divorce in 2019 led to long legal battles and ongoing headlines.

In recent years, reports have suggested that Pitt’s relationship with some of his children has been strained since the divorce. Some media outlets have claimed that a few of them have chosen to distance themselves from him. Pitt has mostly stayed quiet about the situation, keeping this part of his life private.

Since 2022, he has been linked to jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. Sources close to the actor have told entertainment media that he is now in a calmer and more stable place. While he no longer shares much about his private life, he remains active in film and continues to appear at major events.

At 62, Brad Pitt shows no sign of stepping away. He is still working on large projects and remains one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. His journey from young heartthrob to award-winning actor and producer is rare, and few stars have managed to stay relevant for this long.
