Transformation

We know. Brad Pitt is sick of hearing how hot he is. He's been fighting his heartthrob image ever since playing the young stud cowboy who romanced and robbed Geena Davis in the 1991 film Thelma & Louise. From Kalifornia and 12 Monkeys in the mid-nineties through Fight Club and Snatch he has purposely chosen roles where his knockout looks get seriously mussed up. This summer he returned to the big screen after a two-year hiatus as Greek hero Achilles in the epic movie Troy. Even in period costume and bloodied in battle, his chiseled good looks and ripped body are admirable. And recently, reprising his role as Rusty Ryan in Ocean's Twelve, we got to ogle him all over again. Sorry, Brad.
