W Magazine February 2009 : Brad Pitt by Chuck Close

[style_expert]

It almost makes me suspect Conde Nast is behind this entire Angelina-Brad-Jennifer nonsense that has been going on for a while now , so they could sell more magazines by putting them on the cover.

its so true. all the quotes are from conde publications, not to mention that first cover they did together when he was still married to Jen. all the tabloids are just pulling from them. I think you are onto something.

anyway, I look forward to hearing about the contents

I wanna know what's inside!

[Manuva]

He's meant to look older though, it's surely promo for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, right?

You are not alone! You are not alone!

I like it....he looks like an old James Dean. Very film noir.

I just want him to admit that he got tired of Jen's boring a$$ so he dumped her to get with someone younger. Maybe then she will get the message to get over it.

Hmmm....isn't her a$$ her redeeming quality

This photo reminds me of the one that was done of Kate Moss by Chuck Close in W's Kate Moss issue (years ago).

Anyways, it's been done before. Nothing new, and not particularly fashionable either.

I don't like Brad Pitt on the cover either but I think the "disgusting" comments are a bit too much. The man is forty five years old - he's not going to have baby skin! It's a bit hypocritcial to complain of all the airbrushing magazines do, and then when we have an older actor we have complaints about his wrinkles...

I hope the contents make up for the cover though. It's an interesting shot, just not for the cover of W magazine

I agree, I actually find these Chuck Close works beautiful. As cliche as it sounds, there is a lot of beauty to be found on an aged face.

I think it's interesting that people focus more on one page out of the hundreds of pages of the magazine and decide this is a bad issue before they even read the magazine.
