The reinvention of Brad Pitt: clean, sober, with an art exhibition, recording studio, genderless skincare range and a rumoured romance with Emily Ratajkowski … but what’s his take on Shiloh’s dancing?
- As bitter divorce lawsuits against ex Angelina Jolie rage on, Pitt appears to be reinventing his public persona – clean, sober, a loyal dad bigging up Shiloh’s viral dance moves
- Just days before his debut sculpture exhibition, Pitt launched skincare line Le Domaine – inspired by 90s beau Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop – and is busy revamping the Château Miraval music studio
While his romance with ex-wives Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston were heavily discussed in tabloids and gossip columns, the Fight Club star has undoubtedly had one of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood … but now, at age 58, he seems ready to reinvent himself.
Earlier this year, Pitt said that he might quit acting to focus more on being a producer, among other things. “I consider myself on my last leg, this last semester or trimester,” he told British GQ in June and added, “What is this section gonna be? And how do I want to design that?”
He told the same publication that he had also quit drinking, smoking and taken up learning guitar during the pandemic. Pitt also announced that he may suffer from prosopagnosia, or face blindness, the inability to recognise people’s faces.
With so much going on in his life and career, we take a look at Pitt’s new ventures, possible new love and what he thinks about his family with his ex, Jolie.
His sculpture exhibition in Finland
The Bullet Train star recently made headlines when nine of his sculptures were displayed at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. His artworks appear alongside those by Australian musician Nick Cave and artist Thomas Houseago for the exhibition titled “We”, which will be held until January 15, 2023.
So what did Pitt create for the exhibition? There’s a bronze coffin-sized box with myriad hands, faces and feet protruding from it, as well as a silicon house full of bullet holes.
His artworks got rave reviews, too. The Guardian’s Jonathan Jones wrote, “Brad Pitt is an extremely impressive artist. I certainly didn’t expect to be saying that when I got up this morning.”
