Brad Pitt's 60s and a hint

When everyone thought the secret to Brad Pitt's eternal youth lay in snail slime, @jorg3leiner reveals that it's not, he uses albino unicorn liver extract creams with Mediterranean newt scales.

The actor turned 60 this Monday and users of X or Instagram had no way of not knowing about it. For some it is the second time he reaches sixty. In July it was said as is. From the Wimbledon final, the images of a Pitt chewing potatoes and determined to make The Curious Case of Benjamin Button his autobiography were reproduced to the point of saturation.

Users took it upon themselves to remind him that at this age he is still handsome to the point of hurting. For example, with the only episode of Friends in which she appears, with Phoebe looking up at the sky and congratulating God on a job well done. If it's sexy when he moves the bars too. @TheCinesthetic is partly to blame, with a 30-second clip pulled from years ago featuring several moments of Pitt eating.

But it is to dive into the web and discover wonders. Pitt gulps. A lot. In all the movies. There are videos pointing it out – one even 15 minutes long – and detailed articles of Rusty, his role in Ocean's Eleven , who slips into almost every scene any snark. The summum, a ranking of meals on the big screen. 55, they count, among cheeseburgers, nachos, popcorn, milkshakes, pancakes... (What if this is the secret of his youth?). There is only one story where food is talked about more: Don Quixote, but more because of lack than abundance. Pitt is more Sancho Panza than the knight.

He has turned 60. Much of the congratulations on the networks emphasize that he is better than eating a chicken with his hands, and there has been no noise on the networks to highlight him only for his physique. It happens with women too. Gina Lollobrigida died in January, her beauty was enhanced and there weren't many discordant voices either.

She, and even Pitt despite his status as a man, are symptoms that it has become clear, at least for part of society, that for centuries women have been despised, set aside, undervalued to the extreme (“ for most of history, 'Anonymous' was a woman", Virginia Woolf left to say), and that, once this was understood, it has evolved into a thought that allows, by overcoming, to designate them, now yes, by physical attributes without assuming a pure reduction or excluding or forgetting the merits, as was the case irremediably long ago.

Brad is about to eat it. So was Gina. And nothing happens anymore to say it.
