Snakkle Celebrates Brad Pitt’s 48th with a Look at His Life So Far!
Actor, producer, humanitarian, and philanthropist. Brad Pitt is all of those things, as well as the life partner of Angeline Jolie and the father of their six children. A quarter century ago, when Pitt started his professional acting career, most people assumed he was just going to be another handsome Hollywood hunk. But Pitt bucked perceptions and has built a career of character roles and leading men in films as diverse as Johnny Suede and The Tree of Life. As Brad blows out 48 candles this year, Snakkle celebrates the man, his career, and his passions. By Tara Bennett

William Bradley Pitt, 8th Grade, Cherokee Junior High School, Springfield, Missouri (1978)
Towheaded William Bradley Pitt, the eldest of William and Jane Pitt’s three kids, was born in Oklahoma but raised in Missouri. His parents were conservative Southern Baptists, which might explain Brad’s hairstyle in eighth grade. You could level a 2x4 with those bangs!
