Brad Pitt, a Hollywood heartthrob, is unquestionably one of the industry's most attractive figures.
However, when it comes to the distinction of being the most handsome in the world, he faces formidable competition in the realm of cinema. Despite having been crowned the man by People magazine in 2000, Pitt recently revealed his opinion on the matter, sharing his thoughts on who he believes the most handsome men in the world are, both past and present.
In making his selection, Pitt cast his gaze back in time to an iconic figure in the world of acting, whose piercing blue eyes are eternally etched in the annals of cinema history. The actor he chose was none other than the timeless heartthrob, Paul Newman. Pitt explained his choice, saying, "You know, in the world of acting, because it's my daily job... the immediate resource is Paul Newman, because he aged so gracefully. And by all accounts [he was] a really special human being, generous, warm, and sincere."
However, when Pitt considers the present, he playfully anoints his friend George Clooney as the most handsome. With a touch of humor, he quipped, "I have to name HP George Clooney, why not?" Pitt, aged 58, jested about the reason behind his choice, stating, "Usually I always eliminate him, and he always eliminates me. But this time, I'm going the other way, just this once."
It's worth noting that the friendship between these two Oscar-winning actors dates back to the inception of the Ocean's film series, which began with "Ocean's Eleven" in 2001. Their camaraderie blossomed during the making of this heist-themed saga, marked by humor and followed by collaborations in Coen brothers' films and shared experiences at premieres, awards ceremonies, and moments of jest, alongside their fellow gang member, Matt Damon.
Brad Pitt also discussed his latest venture in the realm of skincare, Le Domaine Skincare, an essential skincare product line. He emphasized that the decision to launch the product was driven by the tangible improvements he noticed in his own skin. He further acknowledged the pivotal role played by his ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, in inspiring him to adopt a skincare routine.
He spoke warmly of their friendship and her Goop project, highlighting how she encouraged him to prioritize skincare. "She's still a very dear friend, and she's built this empire. In fact, now that I think about it, she was probably the first one who made me wash my face twice a day... maybe," he shared, punctuating the statement with laughter.
In addition to his skincare pursuits, the actor known for his role in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" also reflected on the inevitability of aging. He expressed a desire for society to embrace aging more gracefully, rejecting the notion of being "anti-aging" as a mere fabrication. Instead, he stressed the importance of maintaining healthy skin, a practice he has come to appreciate through his career, and one that contributes to an improved sense of well-being.
