Brad Pitt celebrates his 50th birthday today (yes, really), which surely proves that (a) not all of us are created equal and (b) those special few who inhabit the very select upper reaches of the celeb universe are somehow immune to enjoying comfortable footwear and buying beige when they reach half a century.
From blue-eyed, denim-clad cowboy to modern day Earth Father, let's take a look back at the many faces (all of them gorgeous) and hairstyles (many of them regretful) of Brad Pitt over the years and marvel at the fact that he really is getting better with age.
Happy birthday Brad!
