Happy 53rd Birthday, Brad Pitt! Thanks for All the Hair-spiration
Brad Pitt is one of the most recognizable people on the planet. But in spite of that, he’s rotated through an ever-changing range of hairstyles. Not all of them are flattering, but none of them are forgettable.
In 1991, Pitt displayed a high-rise pompadour from the barely seen movie Johnny Suede. Two years later, in keeping with ’90s trends, Pitt went for a grunge-meets-stoner look for True Romance.
His flowing brunette locks contrasted with his gaunt pallor in 1994’s Interview With a Vampire and in 1998 he complemented his formal Meet Joe Black-tie look with a simple parted blond ‘do.
One of his most iconic roles was in 1999’s Fight Club. It also featured one of his iconic hairstyles: the spiky blond look. Love it or hate it, you definitely remember it.
Pitt kept it short and simple with a buzz cut in the Ocean’s 11 franchise, which he continued to rock alongside his future wife, Angelina Jolie, in 2005’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
And then, of course, there was the hip WWII look he wore during Inglourious Basterds in 2009. In the film, it might have been the 1940s, but you can definitely still see that cut on young people today.
Happy Birthday, Brad Pitt, and thanks for all the hair-spiration.
For something more “cute” than “hunky,” here’s a young Leonardo DiCaprio:
