Brad Pitt actor Jig Saw. William Bradley Pitt was born in December 1963 into a god-fearing Midwestern Baptist family in Oklahoma. His dad owned a truck company, his mum was a school counsellor and young Brad was a choirboy at the unfortunately named Kickapoo High School. First job in Hollywood? Handing out free cigarettes, dressed as a chicken.

Acting classes led eventually to a breakthrough role in Dallas as Priscilla Presley`s daughter`s boyfriend. But it was as waster JD in Ridley Scott`s Thelma & Louise that Brad broke into the big time. After giving Geena Davis her first orgasm he was named the `sexiest man alive` by various women`s mags. Brad had a thing about his leading ladies and was romantically linked to Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis, and of course, Gwyneth Paltrow before wedding Jennifer Aniston.
