Outside of his role as Benjamin, he is the recipient of various accolades, including two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award. So as a hard worker, it comes as a surprise that Brad has been able to keep up his good looks.

It could be down to the fact that he's given up drinking and has reportedly followed a vegan diet for the past six years. He recently split from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who he met on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith while he was married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston. He went on to leave Jennifer and have four kids with Angelina - Shiloh, Pax, Maddox and Zahara.

He was the target of a scathing social media post in which his son called him a "world class a**hole", but it seems the Hollywood actor is hoping to move on from the feud. Pax slammed Brad in a post shared on Father's Day in 2020.

While it was originally shared on a private social media account, the comment was recently made public. Pax accused his dad of making the lives of those closest to him "a constant hell" Now 20, Pax added: "So Happy Father's Day, you f*****g awful human being."

Pax isn't the only one of Brad's children who seems to be feuding with him, with his daughter Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt seemingly snubbing her father as she dropped his last name during her induction ceremony in college. Brad's eldest son Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt is also said to be unwilling to reconnect.
