Brad Pitt was destined to be a hot property since his 1991 cameo in Thelma and Louise. The Once Upon a Time in America star's career is still in great shape, and at the age of 55, so is he, both in mind and body. Many years, and many famous wives and girlfriends, from Gwyneth Paltrow and Juliette Lewis to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, have passed since he made his mark as a leading man in movies like Legends of the Fall and Se7en, and yet fans still want to know who he is dating.
Drawing comparisons to acting legend Robert Redford when he got his start, these days Brad is of course a larger than life star on his own, and has set the bar for up and coming actors. And we think he's better than ever! Don't believe us? Here are five things that prove it!
1) He’s a natural
We don't know how he's done it, but Brad Pitt somehow looks exactly the same and yet... better than ever?! And like our faves, he's done it all without any dramatic changes to his looks, sporting his fine lines and salt and pepper beard with pride.
2) His style evolution
Yes, we admit that grunge Brad Pitt was red hot in the early Nineties, but we can't resist seeing him with his hair slicked back rocking black tie on the red carpet. No one wears a tux like him – and we think his enigmatic blue-eyed gaze and strong jawline are only made even more irresistible along with his dapper demeanor.
3) He\'s even more iconic
Back in 2001, when Brad hit the red carpet with George Clooney, Matt Damon and Andy Garcia or the premiere of Ocean's Eleven, fans must have thought he had hit peak movie star status. Fast forward nearly two decades, though, when he hit the red carpet with fellow superstar Leonardo DiCaprio, the two nearly broke the internet (which was only in its early stages when Brad got his start.)
4) We\'d still swipe right
With his past relationships including, clockwise from top left, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Juliette Lewis, you might think that Brad only goes out with Hollywood stars. That doesn't necessarily seem the case though as since his split with Angelina, there have been plenty of rumors of who Brad Pitt is dating, and among them have been holistic healer and jewelry designer Sat Hari Khalsa and MIT professor Neri Oxman. Either way, he's still one of the entertainment world's most eligible bachelors.
5) Like a fine wine... (Yes, we said it!)
In his 50s, Brad's experiences in his career, life and love have given him a maturity and gratitude that makes him even more endearing. On getting older, he told GQ: “Your own wins and losses—the older you get, they don't seem like so much of a win or so much of a loss. Who you spend your time with, how you spend time—it has just become much more important to me.”
