A Working-Class Background
Our beloved Mr. Pitt came from rather average circumstances. No established Hollywood connections or preferential treatment (except for the kind that comes with an almost obscenely good-looking appearance, but that’s just how it is). Tenacity, humility, and hard work will get you far in life, and Brad Pitt has probably seen these values in action throughout his life.
This is likely because his family instilled these values in him. His mother was a school counselor, and his father owned a trucking company. Both his mother and father knew the importance of setting goals, working hard, and not resting on your laurels once you achieve success.
