He won his first Oscar only three years ago for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but he was already one of the biggest movie stars in the 1990s. The American actor Brad Pitt, known for the drama Seven, the science fiction 12 Monkeys, the comedy Burn after reading or the war Shameful Pancharts, celebrates his 60th birthday this Monday.

Achilles’ heel

When he flashed more prominently on the screen in the picture for the first time Thelma a Louise from 1991, viewers still wondered who he was. The handsome young man, who studied journalism at the University of the American state of Missouri, made a living in various ways before making a name for himself in film, for example as a limousine driver. Today, Brad Pitt can sit in it somewhere other than behind the wheel.

The recently 60-year-old has become one of the most influential and controversial Hollywood celebrities during a more than thirty-year career – also thanks to his watched marriages with actresses Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. But above all, he is an actor who quickly convinced that he has much more than a photogenic face.

He has never acted in big movie franchises or superhero “teams”. Rather, he collaborated with almost all leading contemporary directors. Often with the famous irony, which he was able to get into even the harshest roles. Or the irony of fate itself overtook him, as when he appeared in the rather atypical historical blockbuster Troy from 2004. In the role of the ancient warrior Achilles, he was there hit arrow in the heel. As if the gods wished for another party for him.
