With films like Se7en, Fight Club, F1, etc., it's no wonder how Pitt achieved that massive feat. His confidence, charisma, and acting presence have propelled him to be a name everyone will remember forever.

Pitt is one of the few actors working today that is believable in every role he's in. You want him to be a romantic lead, he can do that. You want him to be an action star, he can do that. You want him to act his ass off in a drama, he can do that. Pitt's acting range is very underrated. People might see him as a pretty face, but Pitt has be nominated for 4 Academy Awards and has won 1 time for his role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Pitt's filmography is up there with some of Hollywood's finest. Films like Se7en, Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Inglorious Basterds are iconic films. His collaborations with directors David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino are legendary. If those two want you in their movie, you must be doing something right.

Pitt has been in the spotlight for over 30 years. Pitt is a lot less public compared to other movie stars today. Like fellow movie star Tom Cruise, Pitt has no social media. No one knows what he is doing on a daily basis unlike some actors who post their whole life on social media. This only adds to the allure of Brad Pitt. When you see him, it means it must be a big deal.

Pitt doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. His next film will be a continuation of the Cliff Booth character titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth. The highly anticipated movie released a teaser on one of the biggest trailer days of the year, sparking millions of hits on social media. He always will be back in the Ocean's universe with the movie Ocean's 14.

Brad Pitt will go down as one of the biggest movie stars Hollywood has ever seen. His films will be remembered forever and his contribution to cinema cannot be understated. Like all of the other greats, the day Brad Pitt retires from cinema will be a sad day in cinema forever. But, for now let's appreciate his great work while he's still doing it.
