L'OFFICIEL celebrates the actor's birthday by rewinding to his best '80s and '90s moments.

It didn't take long for Brad Pitt to reach Hollywood stardom after he made his acting debut in the late '80s.

To celebrate the heartthrob's birthday, L'OFFICIEL throws it back with pictures from Pitt's younger years.
