Brad Pitt making fame work for him
CNN has a piece on "the transformation of Brad Pitt" today that talks about his going from TV pretty boy (why didn't I know he was on Dallas?) to huge movie star living with Angelina Jolie and doing humanitarian work.
The only really interesting thing in the clip is someone making the point that Pitt has very consciously "leveraged his personal life" to do good humanitarian work, giving up his privacy to shine a light on things countries that need humanitarian aid, buying a home, filming a movie and building new homes in flood ravaged New Orleans. It's the best thing you can do with that sort of fame, I suppose.
It's also funny to see a clip of a young Pitt talking about how starstruck he was on the set of Dallas.
"Larry Hagman?! This guy knew Genie!"
