December 18, the famous American actor, producer, Oscar winner turns 56 years old. Recently, his name was most often mentioned in the press in connection with a high-profile divorce from Angelina Jolie. Until recently, they were considered an ideal couple, and today he calls this marriage a mistake. However, this is not the only fact of his biography, which the actor now regrets …

The full name of the actor is William Bradley Pitt. He grew up in an ordinary religious American family, his father was engaged in trucking, and his mother worked as a teacher. After leaving school, Brad entered the university at the faculty of journalism and advertising, but he did not work in his specialty - having dropped out of school, he went to conquer Hollywood.

Today in an interview, Brad Pitt does not like to remember how his career began, because before becoming an actor, he changed several professions. At first he worked in a restaurant … chicken! It was in such a suit that he had to stand on the street and invite visitors. Once one of them, the owner of a strip club, offered him to work for him as a driver - to deliver dancers. On this occasion, the actor said: "". He did this at night, and during the day he attended acting classes, cleaned pools for movie stars and delivered groceries to shops and restaurants.

William Bradley Pitt turned into Brad Pitt when his agent advised him to keep his first name as short as his last name so that he would be better and more remembered. However, at first, this did not contribute to the development of his film career in the 1980s. he constantly went to screen tests, but did not get roles. He starred in episodes of several TV series, the names of which no one will remember today.

Brad Pitt's film career got off to a good start thanks to an accident. He once auditioned for the role of a petty crook in Thelma & Louise, but was not approved, believing that he looked too "positive" for the image of a womanizer who seduces and steals from women. But William Baldwin seemed to the filmmakers an ideal candidate for this role. But the actor replied with a categorical refusal, as he was busy filming another film, and the role as a result went to debutant Pitt. Unexpectedly for himself, he coped with this task brilliantly. It was with this work that his triumphal path in the world of big cinema began.

In the 1990s. Brad Pitt was already one of the most successful, sought-after and highest paid actors in Hollywood. In the mid-1980s. he still worked as a chicken, and 10 years later he already bought a mansion in Southern California for almost $ 2 million. In 1995, the actor was first nominated for an Oscar for his role in the film Twelve Monkeys. In the same year, he was officially included in the list of "25 Sexiest Actors" in the history of cinema. After the release of Legends of Autumn, People magazine named him the sexiest man in the world, and 6 years later he received this title again. A new surge in his popularity occurred in 1999, when the actor starred in the film "Fight Club". It is interesting that in the American box office this film was a flop, but in the whole world it enjoyed great success, and years later it was recognized as a cult film in the United States.

There were many missed chances in his film career, which the actor later regretted. He turned down the role of astronaut in the movie "Apollo 13", which was played in his place by Tom Hanks and received an Oscar for her. And Brad Pitt, having chosen to shoot in the film "Twelve Monkeys", was only nominated for an award. True, years later he said that he did not remember the missed opportunities: "".

He had to regret not only the unplayed, but also the roles played. At the dawn of his career, he played in the action movie "The Property of the Devil", and later said about his participation in the filming: "". Even about very successful roles, he also had to regret. So, work in the film "Interview with the Vampire" was very difficult for him, he said that he hated himself for signing a contract, but the state of oppression helped him create a reliable image of a hero who is burdened by his fate, but cannot change it.

His personal life has always attracted no less attention than his work. The actor has always enjoyed tremendous success with women and often had office romances on the set. So, before his charm could not resist his partners Gina Davis ("Thelma and Louise"), Juliet Lewis ("California"), Gwyneth Paltrow ("Seven"). He did not meet Jennifer Aniston on the set, but it was she who became his first wife. However, their marriage lasted only 5 years and broke up after another office romance of the actor on the set of the film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Only the lazy did not write about his romance with Angelina Jolie and the loud divorce from Jennifer Aniston.

They officially declared themselves a couple in 2006, but their wedding took place only in 2014. Together they raised six children - three biological and three adopted. They were called the most beautiful couple in Hollywood, their relationship seemed cloudless, but 2 years after marriage, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce.

Their separation, litigation, the struggle for children and mutual reproaches in the past 3 years have remained the main topics of scandalous publications about actors. Angelina Jolie accused her husband of child abuse (which he denied) and alcoholism (the actor did not argue with this). And Brad Pitt made an unexpected statement that he regrets this marriage and considers it a big mistake.

In addition to acting, Brad Pitt has been producing for a long time and declares that every year he plans to act less and less often: "".
