【明報專訊】Brad Pitt was born on 18 December 1963 in Oklahoma (奧克拉荷馬州), the US. Pitt originally aspired (渴望) to be an advertising art director, studying journalism at the University of Missouri (密蘇里大學). However, the young college student had other quiet aspirations, the product of a childhood love of movies, which finally seemed tangible (明確) in his last semester at university when he realised, "I can leave." On a whim (一時興致), Pitt dropped out of college and headed west to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles, just two credits shy of a college degree.
