Brad Pitt – Real Name: William Bradley Pitt

Brad Pitt is well-known for his unique character portrayals as well as his striking looks. After garnering acclaim for his role in “Thelma & Louise” in 1991, Pitt channeled his appeal as a leading man in films like “Legends of the Fall” and “A River Runs Through It” but resisted being typecast by taking unorthodox roles like “Fight Club” and “12 Monkeys.”

In 2019, Pitt won an Academy Award for his performance in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.” Originally named William Bradley Pitt, he chose the shorter version of his middle name, Brad, to give the stylish feel of a name that is easily pronounceable and suitable for showbiz.
