Hollywood star Brad Pitt turned 48 on Sunday, 18th December 2011. He started his acting career more than two decades and has become an international heartthrob since he appeared in a famous shirtless moment in the film “Thelma & Louise”. Brad Pitt’s films and his series of famous ladyloves earned him a position as one of the biggest celebrities in the world. With the recent Golden Globe nomination for his role in the movie "Moneyball," the actor and his family with Angelina Jolie have a lot to celebrate these days.
Brad Pitt was pictured celebrating his early birthday with his 36-year-old well-known partner Angelina Jolie and their brood of children as the family went out for a show of Cirque Du Soleil: Michael Jackson The Immortal on Saturday night. The performance took place at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, featuring Cirque du Soleil's usual fusion of music, dance, fantasy and magic to pay tribute to the late “King of Pop” and entertain the young ones.
The Hollywood's most famous couple and their children were captured sitting right beside the stage, surprising the performers who didn’t know the stars would be in the audience. The family seemed to thoroughly enjoy the performance and stayed until the end. They later spent the night at the lavish Four Seasons.
A month ago, the actor made a big surprise as he revealed Australia's "60 Minutes" that he planned to end his acting career when he was 50 years old. However, Brad Pitt explained his statement, saying that it is because he wants to focus on producing. During a press conference promoting the film “Moneyball,” the actor said: "I just have other interests and I do quite enjoy the production side.”
