Can’t stand him. Most over-rated mediocre talent. And American GQ remains the most insufferable, tacky of all GQs. But unlike Angelina— are they still together???? …Brad always enjoys portraying a character and lives out a story for his fashion shoots, with this being a very solid story if I delete the JC Penney catalogue shot of him in the green shirt and stonewashed jeans. The double shots of him in tank top and slicked back hair smoking is so good— like mid-2000 Arena Homme Plus Steven Klein kind of good.

(I prefer the GQ Spain layout of the same story over this US version.)

This is what happens, when you put an actual flesh and blood man on the cover of a Men's fashion magazine. Magical things happen! Brad Pitt is always a serve, and always game to tell a story in pictures. Love everything about this. The colors, styling, and photography are all on point. Take notes and learn Vogue Hommes.

Oh yes, I almost forgot! You werent exactly a fan of his epic GQ Style story in 2017 either, lol. And no, they are no longer together. Tsk, tsk, and you call me 'out of touch', lol.

I don't like the editorial either. I know Mr Tye Dye probably thinks he's bringing in the big guns when he enlists Cortina to style a cover, but the styling or lack of it looks very lazy this time around.

Also, it's odd how rappers such as Little Uzi can pull a variety of poses like squatting, blowing smoke into the screen, or looking pensively into the sky for their own Instagram feed, but when it's time to pose for an actual magazine editorial, they end up as frozen as statues. I've far more enjoyed looking at that OCD shopkeeper's extraordinary display of groceries than yet another vertically challenged Soundcloud rapper whose expiration date couldn't come fast enough.

Preach!
