Beautiful man Brad Pitt turned 56 today. After a few years of relative quiet, the star has reemerged in the zeitgeist thanks to his recent roles as stuntman Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and a space guy in Ad Astra, as well as the never-ending dating rumors. Of course, Pitt has always been incredibly handsome, but like the other beautiful aliens among us — Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett — he’s only become more stunning with age.
To celebrate his birthday, I’d like to look to Brad in middle age, newsboy-capped and a full meal in his mid-fifties:
