Oh, how we long for the days when hunky Brad Pitt could be spotted without the dreaded hairy mess that now hangs off his once-smooth chin. The actor, who has such a striking jaw that viewers actually enjoyed watching his Rusty eat in almost every scene of the “Ocean’s” trilogy, is losing the boyish charm that has remained with him well into his forties. (The guy played a teenager on the big screen in 2008, and a believable one at that.)
Is it method acting, Brad? Perhaps your mega-relationship with Angelina Jolie is on the rocks? Or, maybe you are just being lazy? Whatever the reason, it seems you need a push toward a shaving kit and we’re prepared to give you one — in the form of back-to-back pictures of Bearded Brad vs. Beardless Brad to remind you of sexier days.
