How young does Brad Pitt look here? This image is from an interview with the up-and-coming actor conducted in 1990. Although only 26 years old at the time, Pitt has a cockiness about him that is more charming than arrogant. You could already tell Pitt was going places.

2. Thelma & Louise

This is the film that first got Brad Pitt noticed. In the flick, he plays the drifter J.D. who captures the attention of Geena Davis’ Thelma. The two spend the night together and have a great time until J.D. flees the following morning with Thelma and her friend Lousie’s (Susan Sarandon) life savings.

Despite being a crook, Pitt’s charming personality and chiseled body had audiences, particularly women, all hot and bothered.

3. Floyd the Stoner

While his role in True Romance is extremely small, Brad Pitt steals every scene he is in. He plays Floyd, a jobless stoner who spends his days lying on the couch watching television. This role also resulted in a change of appearance for Pitt, who grew his hair long, giving him a surfer look the girls loved. Although the dodgy stubble on his chin isn’t the most attractive look, it works for Pitt.

4. Legends of the Fall

Pitt continued growing his hair long for his roles in Legends of the Fall and Interview with a Vampire. These are the two movies that really put Pitt on the map. Of those two films, it’s the Americana look he sports in Legends of the Fall that helped him stand out.

Long blonde locks flowing and clean-shaven, Pitt is an absolute dreamboat. His acting is top-notch also, with the movie earning $160 million at the box office opposite a budget of just $30 million.

5. The Gwyneth Paltrow Era

Meeting on the set of SevenBrad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow seemed the perfect match. The two dated from 1994 to 1997 and even got engaged, but sadly things didn’t last. Paltrow called it quits, believing she wasn’t ready to settle. Considering she was 22 at the time that makes complete sense.

Even though their relationship didn’t last, they provided the paps with plenty of photo opportunities. They were one of the it couples of the 90s, with the above image showing the loved-up duo on a night out.

6. 12 Monkeys

Pitt cut his hair short for the role and acts all twitchy and weird, really going for it. The film was a box office smash and further cemented Pitt as one of the must-watch actors in the world. He won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and the film made over $168 million worldwide.

7. Meet Joe Black

After his engagement to Gwyneth Paltrow ended, it wasn’t long until Brad Pitt found himself in the arms of another famous lady. He was set up on a date with Jennifer Aniston by his manager in 1998. The pair hit it off spectacularly, with Pitt proposing a year later on stage at a Sting concert.

This photo of the duo was taken at the Erin Brockovich premier in 2000. Although 36 at the time, Pitt still looks super young, helped no doubt by his stylish haircut and having Aniston on his arm.

Sadly Pitt and Aniston called it quits after seven years together. The rumored cause of the split was Pitt cheating on Aniston with Angelina Jolie, but everyone has denied that. It was just time for both parties to move on in life.

Alongside Ed Norton, who was arguably as big as Pitt at the time, the two delivered incredible performances in this hard-to-define masterpiece. Although it received mixed reviews, Fight Club found a cult on VHS and is now considered one of the great films of the 90s.

It’s also memorable for Pitt’s impressive physique, with the actor absolutely ripped. Some even think this is the ultimate Brad Pitt movie. This is a look he would take into his next couple of movies, with his heartthrob status at its peak.

For his role in Guy Ritchie’s SnatchBrad Pitt made himself look less than flattering. While still sporting a six-pack, Pitt’s messy hair and three-day growth gave him the appearance of someone who hasn’t showered in weeks.

Playing an English gypsy, Pitt’s speech is near unintelligible, only adding to the character. Playing against type, the movie showcases Pitt’s acting ability and versatility and is one of his best performances.

12. The Ocean’s Trilogy

13. Inglourious Basterds

Now that he’s getting on in years, Brad Pitt is often seen dressing smartly. Of course, there are still images of him with a dirty beard or stringy long hair that pop up from time to time, but generally speaking, when he’s not filming, Pitt looks pretty good. This shot of him in a tuxedo with a little facial hair and semi-long hair proves he’s still a good-looking rooster.
