Brad Pitt’s New Look Sparks Mixed Reactions
In a public outing on January 22, 2025, Hollywood icon Brad Pitt, freshly divorced from Angelina Jolie, revealed a noticeable change in his appearance—a salt-and-pepper beard and mustache. His new rugged look deviated from the clean-shaven style he had while filming his upcoming movie, leading to a flurry of reactions from netizens.
A Fresh Appearance
Pitt was spotted cruising in his new silver Porsche 911 GTS around Hollywood, dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit. He wore a cobalt blue button-down shirt paired with gray trousers, a charcoal jacket draped over his shoulders, and a white bucket hat. To complete his laid-back look, Pitt chose white sneakers and aviator sunglasses. But what really grabbed attention was his bushy gray facial hair, which gave him a mature, almost unrecognizable appearance to some fans.
Online Backlash and Praise
Online opinions were divided, with many fans expressing dislike for the beard, offering comments like, “Shave that gray off!” and “I prefer the clean-shaven look.” However, others defended his new style, noting his “beautiful face” and “effortless charm,” while a few admirers praised him for maintaining a cool demeanor despite the critiques.
A Sharp Contrast from His Movie Look
The new look was a stark contrast to Pitt’s clean-shaven appearance in the movie “F1” in 2024, where he portrayed a Formula One driver. The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, features an adrenaline-pumping storyline with Pitt sharing the screen with Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem. This return to a scruffier image marked a fresh chapter for Pitt after his lengthy divorce from Jolie.
Moving On from a Painful Chapter
Brad Pitt’s divorce from Angelina Jolie, finalized on December 30, 2024, after almost a decade, has been part of a long healing process for both stars. While Jolie focuses on her family, Pitt seems to be embracing new ventures in both his personal and professional life as he transitions into this new phase.
