Hollywood often measures the success of celebrities in terms of fame and fortune. But that’s where Brad Pitt stands out with his iconic example of humility. Irrespective of his grand success and fortune, the actor is often considered one of the most humble stars. But what exactly made him become the best version of himself?
Despite being in the entertainment industry for decades, with several actors showcasing a sense of entitlement and arrogance, Brad Pitt held onto his down-to-earth nature. Keeping his humility intact, the actor earned the respect of his fans and peers. And while his humbleness influenced Hollywood, here’s a hint at how he keeps his feet on the ground.
Brad Pitt Remains A Humble Hollywood Star
Serving the entertainment industry for more than a few decades, Brad Pitt appears to have successfully kept his humility intact. Without letting the glitz and glam impact his down-to-earth nature, Pitt carries his persona like a medallion. Instead of showcasing entitlement and arrogance, the actor remains a humble part of Tinseltown.
From being humble enough to admit his mistakes, to earning the respect and admiration of his peers and fans, Brad Pitt influenced the entertainment industry with his humility. Having a strong sense of morality, alongside his charming and charismatic nature, Pitt tends to bring out the best in himself.
Irrespective of his fame, fortune, and global success, the actor tends to project humbleness and gratitude towards the industry and his peers. But what exactly influences Pitt to carry on his down-to-earth nature? Apparently, a lot of it starts from his family. According to the actor, it’s his family who keeps him humble.
How Did Brad Pitt Keep His Humility Intact?
Although crediting his family for his humbleness seems like a great family thing to do for Brad Pitt, it turned out to be quite the opposite. According to his interview with Viasat Magazine in 2001 via IMDb, the actor recalled a particular telephonic conversation with his grandparents that opened his eyes.
“You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, ‘We saw your movie.’ ‘Which one?’. I said, and he shouted, ‘Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn’t like?’.”
Discussing how the subtle humiliation from his grandfather regarding his Oscar-worthy talents not only humbled him but opened his eyes, Brad Pitt stated that it was a “classic” move. Thus, crediting his own family for helping him keep his feet on the ground Pitt stated,
“I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn’t keep your feet on the ground, what would?”
So irrespective of his fame and fortune, Brad Pitt isn’t quite different from common people, when it comes to getting humbled by his own family.
