Brad Pitt’s rarely seen younger brother is famous for his good deeds – and he looks so much like Brad

I know I have. I don’t know why, but I always find it a touch fascinating to see a famous pop icon or movie star’s parents. It’s the same with their children; what facial features have they passed on, what face does their legacy take on moving forward?

It might not be something some of you have ever thought about (feel free to label me weird in the comments) but it’s 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 – despite the allures and attempts of others to persuade him – to remain out of the spotlight…

It’s fair to say there aren’t many people that know about Douglas Pitt’s existence. It’s also fair to assume that’s exactly the way he wants to keep it.

As per reports, the 56-year-old brother of Brad Pitt is very successful in his own right. Unlike his older sibling, however, he’s never had any intention of entering the world of showbiz.

The two brothers look very much alike, it must be said, but that’s apparently where the similarities end. Early on their lives, it became obvious that Brad and Douglas were destined for different paths.

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.

The Troy star’s 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.

Douglas, meanwhile, opted for a slightly more subtle route through life.

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 “second most famous Pitt” is known as an entrepreneur and philanthropist.

For many years now, Douglas has been involved in a good deal of charity work. He’s reportedly worked as a Goodwill Ambassador in Tanzania, while he’s also funded schools, universities, and hospitals in his home state of Missouri.

On the subject of his wildly-famous older brother, Douglas himself has said he usually goes onto auto-pilot when he’s questioned about Brad.

“I appreciate the interest, I understand why people want to ask about him but, you know, I’ve answered the same question for 25 years,” he said.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ — THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in — a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom — MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didn’t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” 👇🏼 Full story in the first comment 👇

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadn’t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everything—new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadn’t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him well—Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feet—until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulled—but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncover—or how it was about to change his life forever ⬇️

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldn’t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLE—BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of them—Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samir—were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldn’t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they were… praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying “Amen.” Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we don’t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. It’s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And I’d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Izzy opened one eye and whispered, “We’re asking the sky to help us.” “Help you with what?” I asked. Niko just said, ⬇️
