Yes, Brad Pitt might be considered one of the most well-known actors in Hollywood today but how well do fans really know the Academy Award-winning star? The public may think they know all there is to know about the actor, but actors are usually like the rest of us with their own private lives and secrets. So, check out all the things you may not have known (but should know) about Brad Pitt.

A College Dropout

Acting wasn't the career path that Brad Pitt had in mind. Before deciding to put himself in front of a camera, the man was a college student about to become a journalist. Incredibly, Pitt is a college dropout. That’s right, when he was a mere 2 credits from getting a degree in Journalism, Pitt decided it was time to take the plunge into acting.

When he was twenty-two, Pitt left the University of Missouri (shortly before he graduated) to put himself front and center in the way of acting opportunities. It seems that his eleventh-hour decision right before graduation wasn’t so bad after all.
