Hollywood Heartthrob: Brad Pitt vs Robert Redford
Life is full of weird coincidences: The first time Brad Pitt’s star power really hit me was in a film directed by...Robert Redford.
The movie, of course, was Brad’s big breakthrough, 1992’s “A River Runs Through It”, in which Brad plays the more rebellious of two brothers growing up in 1920’s Montana. Watching it over twenty years ago, I vividly remember thinking that Redford was directing a younger version of himself.
Think about it: they look alike, they talk alike, and a generation apart, each would be considered for the same kind of roles. Each in their younger days had the fair, clean-cut quality commonly referred to as “All-American”.
