Here’s the Lowdown On the Hunkiest Man in Hollywood, Brad Pitt

A Fellow Famous Neighbor

Having a good neighbor can be a real blessing these days. And considering the amount of real estate and properties that Brad Pitt has, he must have quite a few neighbors. One of them happens to be a fellow actor! Apparently, Pitt has a famous neighbor and it’s not in his L.A. neighborhood — Brad has a home in New Orleans and so does actor Matthew McConaughey.

The two actors even have houses that are literally right across from each other. In 2014, the two (reportedly) were even seen tossing things to one another from their balconies. Sounds like fun.

Family Roots

In recent years, the ethnic and genetic backgrounds of celebrities have become a topic of interest. People are also more interested in their own genealogy and get their own tests using 23andMe or other biotech companies that can teach them more about their own background. There’s even a show featuring well-known faces trying to understand their roots called, “Who Do You Think You Are?”.

Brad Pitt’s genetic background is definitely complex and, while different sources list different ancestries, his bloodlines are listed as being: Irish, Scottish, German, Welsh, Dutch, French, a little Swedish, and even a couple of others. Now that’s a lot of family history.
