Brad Pitt is by far the most popular and likable Hollywood star in the last decade. Currently he is up for his second Oscar for his notable accomplishments which attests to how well his success is measured by the general population and his Hollywood peers. 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, including his much younger co-star (Juliette Lewis) in ‘Too Young to Die’. Brad Pitt saw his first major role in 1987 with ‘The Dark Side of the Sun’. This role paid him more than ,500 a week for seven weeks work. Although this film could have launched Brad Pitt’s career, a tragic incident prevented it from being released until 10 years later, 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. Brad and Gwyneth broke up after two years and in 1998 after appearing on the TV series ‘Friends’, he started dating Jennifer Aniston, the two were later married. Their 5-year marriage ended when Aniston filed for divorce in the spring of 2005.

Shortly after his divorce, Brad Pitt began dating his co-star in the film ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, Angelina Jolie. Their relationship has likely been the most stable of all Brad’s past love connections, as Brad and Angelina have adopted 3 children together and are the parents of three more, most recently a set of twins born in Nice France in the summer of 2008.

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, He will continue to act and produce movies for many years, as he is a hot commodity in Hollywood. Nevertheless, Brad is off-the-market as an available Hollywood hunk, and is assuredly in a relationship with the last of his co-stars.
