Humpday hottie!

Good morning darlings.

Today's Humpday Hottie is a man we loved, love and will always love.. no matter how old he will get or how many women he will divorce because of another *smirks*.

Put your hands together for Mr. Brad Pitt!!

Brad Pitt was born in 1963 in Oklahoma and raised in Springfield, Missouri.

His mother's name is Jane Etta Hillhouse. His father, William (Bill) Pitt, worked in management at a trucking firm in Springfield. He has a younger brother, Douglas (Doug) Pitt and a younger sister Julie Neal Pitt.

At Kickapoo High School, Pitt was involved in sports, debating, student government and school musicals. Pitt attended the University of Missouri, where he majored in journalism with a focus on advertising. He occasionally acted in fraternity shows. He left college two credits short of graduating to move to California.

Before he became successful at acting, Pitt supported himself by driving strippers in limos, moving refrigerators and dressing as a giant chicken while working for "el Pollo Loco."

He was married to actress Jennifer Aniston for over 5 years (29 July 2000 - 2 October 2005). But you all know that.. right? *grins*

Scuttlebutt: I must say I'm happy he did. Cause I really liked him in this movie.
Prattle: Se7en is one of my all time favorite movies, and 12 Monkeys. It was about this time I realized just how weird I am! I'm a girl for crying out loud and these are my favorite movies...and Fight Club.
Scuttlebutt: Err... Se7en and Fight Club are mine too...
Prattle: I really like psychologically fucked up movies. I don't know why..
Scuttlebutt: Its cause we as Pisces are drawn to the deepest darkest places in ones twisted brain.

A girl went to Pitt's Hollywood-area home shortly after midnight Jan. 7, 1999 and crawled in through an open window, dressed herself in his clothes and stayed for 10 hours before the alarm went off. Athena Rolando, 19, was ordered not to contact the actor and to stay 100 yards away from him for three years. [1999]

Scuttlebutt: Little psycho... *snickers thinking how much I'd like to do that to another specific actor but holding back cause I'm still sane... I think*
Prattle: I keep my stalking to the internet :)
Scuttlebutt: Me too. For now. OK, I'm kidding.
Prattle: LOL! For now.
Scuttlebutt: Jensen, you shouldn't be afraid. I live in Greece. You are safe. *grins*
Prattle: Lucky boy... Hey, how'd this get to be about Jensen??? *grins*
Scuttlebutt: Everything is about Jensen in my head! *smirks*

He was banned from entering China because of his role in "Seven years in Tibet" (1997)

His first starring role in a feature film was in The Dark Side of the Sun (1997), shot in pre-war Yugoslavia during the summer of 1988. As editing neared completion, civil war broke out in the region and much of the footage was lost. In 1996, after a five-year search, all of the lost footage was found and returned to producer Andjelo Arandjelovic, who is working on getting a distribution deal. Pitt was paid $1,523 per week for seven weeks. He played a young American taken by his family to the Adriatic Sea to search for a cure for a rare skin disease.

1994: Given title "Sexiest Man Alive" from People Magazine, after making Legends of the Fall (1994).

Was considered for the lead in The Matrix (1999).

Prattle: Now that's just crazy talk...that would not have worked AT ALL!Keanu made that role..
Scuttlebutt: I know!! Thank God he was just considered..

Has his teeth capped.

Sued Damiani International, the company which created the wedding ring he gave Jennifer Aniston. According to Pitt, the ring was his design and was to be exclusive. The company has since been selling replicas and indicating Pitt/Aniston's endorsement of the ring. [18 July 2001]

He and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston reached a settlement with Damiani International. The pair claimed the company agreed to never reproduce their wedding rings, but it manufactured and sold "Brad and Jennifer" rings in 18 karat white or yellow gold, featuring either 12 or 13 diamonds and costing about $1,000 apiece. Under the settlement, Pitt will now design jewelry for Damiani that Aniston will model in ads, and Damiani will stop selling the Pitt and Aniston copies. [11 January 2002]

Scuttlebutt: Smart move :) Everybody was happy!

After watching Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Pitt asked director Guy Ritchie if he could be in his next film. He couldn't master the English accent, so Ritchie gave him the role of Mickey the One Punch Pikey, an Irish fighter, in Snatch. (2000).

Scuttlebutt: Ummm... I have to say I'm happy he didn't cause Matthew McFadyen was DELIGHTFUL and UNFORGETTABLE in this role.. *sighs*
