Have you ever contemplated your favorite celebrity and pondered whether their striking good looks and distinctive features run in the family? I must admit, I’ve had such musings. There’s something inherently intriguing about catching a glimpse of the parents of a famous pop icon or movie star. The same curiosity extends to their children: which facial traits have they inherited, and what unique visage will they pass down to future generations?
Perhaps it’s not a train of thought that everyone indulges in (feel free to label me the curious one), but for me, it’s a point of genuine interest. This is precisely why I found myself captivated when I discovered the existence of Brad Pitt’s younger brother, someone who, despite the allure of the spotlight and the entreaties of others, has made a conscious choice to remain in the shadows…
It’s safe to say that there aren’t many individuals well-acquainted with the existence of Douglas Pitt. And it’s equally safe to assume that this is exactly how he prefers it.
According to reports, the 56-year-old brother of Brad Pitt has carved out his own substantial success. Yet, unlike his older sibling, Douglas has never harbored any desire to step into the world of show business.
There’s a striking resemblance between the two brothers, no denying that. However, it appears that’s where the similarities conclude. Early on, it became evident that Brad and Douglas were destined for different life paths.
Brad, as we all know, swiftly made significant strides in the entertainment industry, ensuring that his name shone brightly, and his rapidly accumulating stardom shone even brighter.
The star of «Troy» possesses natural charisma, stunning looks, and a remarkable on-camera talent that propelled him to the dizzying heights of Hollywood in no time. He has since remained firmly entrenched as an industry icon.
On the other hand, Douglas chose a subtly different trajectory in life.
According to reports, he established his first IT business at the tender age of 24, and from there, he continued to thrive in the realm of information technology and computer science. Today, this self-styled «second most famous Pitt» is recognized as an entrepreneur and philanthropist.
For many years now, Douglas has been deeply engaged in various charitable endeavors. He is said to have served as a Goodwill Ambassador in Tanzania, and he has generously funded schools, universities, and hospitals in his home state of Missouri.
As for his world-renowned older brother, Douglas has adopted a rather diplomatic approach when it comes to addressing inquiries about Brad.
«I appreciate the interest, I understand why people want to ask about him, but, you know, I’ve been answering the same question for 25 years,» he quipped.
In any case, it seems that success runs in the Pitt family, with both Brad and Douglas pursuing their distinctive paths in life. Do you think they share a striking resemblance? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
