Bill Pitt? Unveiling the Lesser-Known Brad
Celebrities often opt for an alternative name to their birth name when seeking to market themselves. If they feel their name lacks glamour (or if their agents feel so), they fill out some forms and have it changed. Hence, from Norma Jeane Mortenson emerged Marilyn Monroe.
What might be shocking (though hardcore fans might already know), is that Brad Pitt was actually born on December 18, 1963, as William Bradley Pitt. Named after his father, his name would essentially be William Pitt, or you could even call him “Bill.” However, “Bill Pitt” doesn’t exactly carry the same Hollywood touch.
