Why Is Brad Pitt Suddenly Ditching His Famous Last Name?
What’s in a name, anyway? If you’re Brad Pitt, apparently everything—especially when your kids are sprinting from the family brand faster than an Oscar acceptance speech cut-off. Imagine getting so famous that your children treat your surname like a contagious rash… and your solution? Toss it out the window right along with any lingering ego! I have to admit, watching America’s favorite leading man toy with the idea of becoming just “Brad,” or maybe even “Brad Brad,”—that’s a plot twist I never saw coming. As a dad myself, I’d do just about anything to back my kids… but would I erase my last name out of pure, reckless solidarity? Hilariously enough, Brad’s grand gesture might’ve worked too well, because his kids seem to be double-backing to “Pitt” before he even gets the paperwork started. It makes me wonder: in the end, is the family name more of a punchline than a legacy? If you’re as spellbound as I am by this Shakespearean-level family drama with a Hollywood twist, you’ll want to dive deeper. LEARN MORE.
LOS ANGELES—In an effort to support his children as they attempted to distance themselves from their difficult upbringing, actor Brad Pitt announced on Monday that he was dropping his surname in solidarity with his family. “I understand why my kids want no part of ‘Pitt,’ and if they don’t want it, neither do I,” said the Academy Award–winning star of Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood, adding that he had not yet decided if, going forward, he would adopt a new last name, go without a last name, or simply repeat his first name twice. “I want them to know that I stand with them as they bravely turn the page on the hell I put them through. So when they decide that being associated with me is just an unacceptable way to live the rest of their lives, you’d better believe I’m giving them my 100% support and the name change to prove it. That’s what being a dad’s all about.” At press time, sources confirmed the actor’s annoyed children were rapidly changing their last names back to “Pitt.”
