One of the most recognizable and most likable stars in Hollywood is Brad Pitt. His recent nomination for an Oscar exhibits how well his portrayal of his characters on the big screen is received by his peers and the general public. However, Brad Pitt was not always a huge Hollywood favorite. His climb to fame has taken more than 20 years and has seen him involved in several serious relationships with his co-stars.

He supported himself by working minimum wage jobs and sharing expenses with fellow aspiring actors, one of those actors was Juliette Lewis a 16 year old co-star in the movie ‘Too Young To Die’. Finally in 1987 Brad Pitt landed his first big part in ‘The Dark Side of the Sun’. This role paid him more than ,500 a week for seven weeks work. While this movie promised to accelerate Brad Pitt to the big screen, a dreadful event averted the release until 1997, and well after Brad Pitt had already made his mark on the big screen.

Brad Pitt gained recognition as a cowboy hitchhiker who seduces Geena Davis’ character in the 1991 film ‘Thelma and Louise’. That role put him on the big screen in front of millions of fans, which would later follow his career religiously.

The next big step in Brad Pitt’s career was his role in the 1995 film ‘Se7en’, co-starring Morgan Freeman and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he would have a 2 year relationship and engagement. In 1997, Brad broke off his engagement to Paltrow and in 1998 after appearing on the TV series ‘Friends’, he started dating Jennifer Aniston, whom he married in 2000. Their 5-year marriage ended when Aniston filed for divorce in the spring of 2005.

A few months after his divorce, Brad Pitt became involved with another costar relationship from the movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, Angelina Jolie. This would seem to be a permanent relationship, as the two have adopted 3 children together and are the parents of three more, including a set of twins recently born at their home in France.

Currently Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are residing in a palatial estate in Long Island while Jolie finishes filming of her next project. While they both received nominations for Oscars, recently, Brad has plans to move his career more toward producing films in the next few years and spending lots of time with his family. Nevertheless, Brad is off-the-market as an available Hollywood hunk, and is assuredly in a relationship with the last of his co-stars.
