<\/p>\nI know I have. I don\u2019t know why, but I always find it a touch fascinating to see a famous pop icon or movie star\u2019s parents. It\u2019s the same with their children; what facial features have they passed on, what face does their legacy take on moving forward?<\/p>\n
It might not be something some of you have ever thought about (feel free to label me weird in the comments) but it\u2019s a point of interest to me. Which is why I can confess to having been extremely intrigued when I learned that Brad Pitt has a younger brother, one who has endeavored \u2013 despite the allures and attempts of others to persuade him \u2013 to remain out of the spotlight\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fair to say there aren\u2019t many people that know about Douglas Pitt\u2019s existence. It\u2019s also fair to assume that\u2019s exactly the way he wants to keep it.<\/p>\n

As per reports, the 56-year-old brother of Brad Pitt is very successful in his own right. Unlike his older sibling, however, he\u2019s never had any intention of entering the world of showbiz.<\/p>\n
The two brothers look very much alike, it must be said, but that\u2019s apparently where the similarities end. Early on their lives, it became obvious that Brad and Douglas were destined for different paths.<\/p>\n
Brad, as we well know, quickly made serious inroads into the entertainment business, ensuring that his name shone brightly and his rapidly-accumulated star power brighter still.<\/p>\n
The Troy star\u2019s natural charisma, gorgeous looks, and obvious talent in front of a camera propelled him to the dizzying heights of Hollywood in short order. There he has remained ever since, steadily becoming an icon of the film industry.<\/p>\n
Douglas, meanwhile, opted for a slightly more subtle route through life.<\/p>\n
As per reports, he launched his first IT business at the age of 24, thereafter continuing to develop within the field of information technology and computer science. These days, the self-styled \u201csecond most famous Pitt\u201d is known as an entrepreneur and philanthropist.<\/p>\n
For many years now, Douglas has been involved in a good deal of charity work. He\u2019s reportedly worked as a Goodwill Ambassador in Tanzania, while he\u2019s also funded schools, universities, and hospitals in his home state of Missouri.<\/p>\n

On the subject of his wildly-famous older brother, Douglas himself has said he usually goes onto auto-pilot when he\u2019s questioned about Brad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate the interest, I understand why people want to ask about him but, you know, I\u2019ve answered the same question for 25 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
