Babe of the Week

In the Velvet Darkness, In the Blackest Night, Burning Bright, There's a Guiding Babe: Brad, Pre-Angelina

From Thelma and Louise, to Moneyball and The Tree of Life, Brad has proven himself to be not just a babe, but a fantastic actor, too. He has managed to make quite a name for himself in Hollywood, blazing the trail for aspiring actors following his footsteps. From short beginnings playing bit, uncredited parts in Growing Pains, like former BOTW, Leo DiCaprio, to top knotch performances in amazing movies such as Fight Club, alongside Edward Norton, where he played a gorgeous loose-cannon potential terrorist alter ego, Tyler Durden, a role which is certainly difficult enough to describe rather than performed, but interpreted beautifully and flawlessly, nonetheless. Let us also not forget his work in Se7en, where he worked alongside the great Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey, where he played a rookie detective on the hunt for a serial killer, or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a truly captivating story about a man who as he aged grew younger, and as a result of his condition was able to experience things you wouldn't imagine, and form everlasting relationships with the people he met on his journey: a poetic Forrest Gump. Brad before Angelina was iridescent, a diamond in the Hollywood's sea of costume jewelry. Not to say he's lost his touch, but just isn't the same as he used to be. Brad is amazing and, at his age, still looking pretty darn foxy. He is one of those actors who we sort of take for granted, right up there with Leo! In fact, Brad has won no Oscar gold but has been nominated a stunning 4 times! He is very much underrated. At least he's trying. Kudos, Brad.
