Part of Brad Pitt's Acceptance Speech at the Critics Awards

[joeybee12]

“This is a really big honor for me, considering I’m a guy who had never ridden in an airplane until I was 25,” he began. “That first trip was here in 1989 to New York. I had an audition for a soap opera. But I had to put myself up, and I stayed at a friend’s apartment. That apartment was in the Village on Christopher Street. My first impression of the city was: my god, there’s a lot of guys around here. But they’re so nice.”

1. I would be nice to Brad Pitt, too!

He was as much a super hunk at 25, as he is now, I imagine.

Can you imagine running into him then in the Village?

[joeybee12]

2. And he asked for directions?

My wouldn't I be HELPFUL!!!!!

[MarkCharles]

3. Directions right back to my bedroom!

I'm sure we would have had fun. Oh, those were the days when Brad was 25, I was 40 something, but I still looked good then.

I bet he would have just thanked me and moved on..but I can dream now as I would have then.

What a great face and nipples and pecs!

Did he work out all the way from 16 on?

7. Brad Pitt came two or three hours short of graduating from my journalism school

I believe he was an advertising major but I might be wrong... A teacher told me that his last school project was to create a pin-up calendar of frat guys that would be sold for charity. It never got finished. It looks like he made the correct career choice.

10. I would love to be nice to him

several thousand times!

11. I went to the same high school he did, though I graduated 10 years later

"Thelma and Louise," is the first film I remember seeing him in. I thought he was sooooo hot in that movie!

[joeybee12]

12. I think that's the first movie most people saw him in...

Really was his breakout role.
