Brad Pitt, 61, officially aging backwards with bold new haircut
Brad Pitt appears to have discovered the fountain of youth after giving flashbacks to his younger career with a new hairdo. The Fight Club actor, 61, embodied his iconic character, Tyler Durden, after he was spotted sporting a shaved head. The star has lopped off his signature blonde locks in favour of a close cut similar to that of his son Knox, whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. He is still sporting stubble on his chin as shown in the snap, which was taken as he sat in a car rocking black sunglasses and a white jacket. Pitt has shaved his head several times over his career, most notably for some of his biggest film roles. He most famously braved the shave for his role in the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club, in which he played mysterious antagonist Tyler alongside fellow lead Edward Norton as the unnamed protagonist. In 2004, the actor sported a buzzcut for his role in Mr & Mrs Smith, the film in which he met Jolie while still married to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. When he appeared in the 2014 war film Fury, Pitt also cut off his famous locks for the part of Wardaddy, where he had short, shaved sides and a pompadour on top. At the opposite end of the spectrum, he sported flowing blonde locks for his role as Louis de Pointe du Lac in iconic 90s horror film Interview With The Vampire, but he is best known for his grown out, slicked back, and tousled looks we've seen in the likes of Ad Astra, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and most recently, F1. It was recently rumoured that Pitt will return to his role as stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood for an upcoming sequel. According to multiple US outlets, the acclaimed director is writing a follow-up to the 2019 hit, with David Fincher serving as director. More Trending In a surprise move, the unnamed project will be coming to Netflix, meaning it may not get a cinematic release like the first film, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, and Mikey Madison among others. Variety reports that it is unlikely that Leo and Margot will return as Rick Dalton and Sharon Tate. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood follows actor Rick Dalton (Leo) and his stunt double Cliff as they navigate the changing culture of Hollywood in the 60s, struggling to claim their place in the industry.

Quentin Tarantino Blasts Hollywood for ‘Drastically Worse' Movies
Quentin Tarantino is fed up with the movie industry. In a surprise interview at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday, the legendary director took aim at Hollywood and streaming services for contributing to the death of the cinematic experience. Speaking to film critic Elvis Mitchell at Main Street in Park City, Utah, the iconic Pulp Fiction director admonished the state of Hollywood filmmaking in 2025. 'What the f--- is a movie now? Something that plays in theaters for a token release for four f---in' weeks, and by the second week you can watch it on television? I didn't get into all this for diminishing returns,' Tarantino told Mitchell. The Jackie Brown director said that theatrical releases have gotten 'drastically worse' since his last film debuted, labeling them a 'show pony exercise' before the movie inevitably ends up on a streaming service. Tarantino said his final film would not be coming out any time soon, and he was instead happy spending his time these days writing and being a father. 'I'm in no hurry to actually jump into production of a movie,' Tarantino said. 'I've been doing that for 30 years. And I'm really kind of just enjoying being a man of letters right now.' Tarantino's last film, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, was released in 2019—the year the director later deemed 'the last f---in' year of movies.' He wrote and published a novelization of the same film in 2021. Tarantino said he was now in the process of writing a play, which he expects will be a 'challenge,' but seemed much more excited about his prospects in the world of theater. He even teased that his upcoming play might end up turning into his final movie if it goes over well. 'Yeah, [theatergoers] pay a lot of f---in' money to get in that seat. But there's no f---in' taping it, there's no f---in' cellphones—hello everybody with a cellphone,' the director laughed, pointing out the audience members recording the interview. 'You own the audience for that time. For that moment, they are all yours. They are in the palm of your hand. And it's not just about doing art, it's about wowing them. It's about giving them a great night out that made it worth it for them. Now that to me is f---ing exciting.'
