All around the world, for most of the past twenty-five years, women have been dreaming of dating Brad Pitt, and men have wanted to be him; little knowing that the person they were actually visualizing is William Bradley Pitt. The legendary actor's stage name is exactly that; a stage name, and he apparently goes by William in everyday life. According to an article that was printed in Page Six magazine, he's particularly likely to use his real name when he's flirting!
There's something about Pitt's true name that sounds like it belongs to a time centuries ago, and possibly with good reason; William Pitt has been the name of not one but two different Prime Ministers of Great Britain from the 1700s and 1800s. We wonder if the 'Fight Club' star can trace his line back to British aristocracy?
