Presidential Ties
Another interesting fact about Brad Pitt is that he is distantly related to an American president. According to a 2008 New England Historic Geological study, Pitt is a (very distant) cousin of Barack Obama through a man named Edwin Hickman. This makes Pitt and Obama eighth cousins. The two met on multiple occasions, including one when Pitt wanted to discuss his green home plan and see if it might be supported by the federal government. There were also claims that his ex, Angelina Jolie, was closely related to Hilary Clinton. What a tiny world after all.

A TV Star First
Many potential movie stars got their start on television, and Brad Pitt is no exception. Brad Pitt began his career on television soap operas before becoming well-known on the big screen. Honestly, we see it. Something about his appearance blends nicely with the classic “soapy” look. It could be the hair, the eyes, or a mix. He began his career in daily soap operas, as do many other celebrities. He starred in the NBC drama “Another World” and performed so well that he was offered a recurring part (for four episodes) on “Dallas”.
