Brad. Pitt. Those are two words that always make me smile. I have vague recollections of my eight-year-old self watching A River Runs Through It and thinking that he looked like a golden angel. And then a couple of years later I saw his beautiful face in Meet Joe Black and that was it. I was in love. And I've remained a loyal fan ever since. I watch every film, read each interview, and spend hours viewing countless clips on youtube.
He is, of course, always gorgeous, but when it comes to his appearance, certain moments stand out for me. My absolute favourite has to be the Fight Club era (but wasn't this the case for everybody?) Nothing could top that. I also liked his sweet, sensitive demeanour in Sleepers and the flashy Rusty Ryan period of Ocean's Eleven. And he was so delicious in Thelma & Louise. And Troy... Wait. I'm going off topic.
Over the years there have been many alterations, and time has gradually passed. But he's still Brad Pitt. I normally always agree with his fashion/beauty/life choices (apart from the shaved head of 2004 and the bleached Billy Idol crop back in June 05). But lately there have been some changes that have caused me to become a little disgruntled. Well, one change.
And I think I can speak for everybody when I say:
'Brad. What the hell are you growing on your face?!'
Yes. I'm talking about THAT beard. At first it was a little stubble, then the cool goatee that he always pulls off so well. But over the last four months it has developed into an overgrown shrub, and I'm losing my patience. When is he going to get the razor out? Every time I see a new BP or Jolie-Pitt post, I think 'Ooo! Maybe he's got rid of it now...' But nope. It's still there.
Now of course it could be for a film role, like the 2002 beard that he ended up shaving off anyway. But if it's not then the Brangeloonie inside me is concerned. Is it a message to say 'I am a serious family man now, my looks aren't important anymore?' Perhaps he got tired of being beautiful all the time. He's turning 46 next month, maybe he just wants to put the grooming on pause and save the world. Well baby, you can still save the world and look good doing it....duh, Angelina!
So please Brad, stop fighting the hot. Because I love you, and underneath that straggly bush, I know you've still got it.

People say that age hasn't been kind to Brad. Well, I think a little exercise, some antioxidants, well balanced diet, and he'll be looking just fine. However, the bigger testament is to his whatever attitude toward how he looks for the camera. Shows that he's true to his mission and doesn't care what people think. Kudos.
