Help From Melissa Etheridge

It's hard to imagine that there was a time when Brad Pitt was both anonymous and broke, but it really did happen. When the aspiring actor came to Hollywood as a total unknown, he came with just a little over 300 dollars to his name. That's not much.

Thankfully, he had help from singer and songwriter Melissa Etheridge who let him crash on her couch while he tried to break into the acting scene. She even helped him learn to fly fish (in her swimming pool) for his audition for “A River Runs Through It”. Now that’s what friends are for.

A Side Hobby

Fans really love hearing about the side hobbies and interests of their favorite stars as it reveals their everyday life. Brad Pitt has a very interesting side hobby.

 

When he isn't jet-setting around the world, saying scripted lines to cameras, the actor reportedly appreciates architecture.

His love for architecture is so great that he even renovated a wine cellar in one of his homes. The DIY project he did then garnered the attention of an L.A. architecture firm (“Frank Ghery”) and he later landed an internship there. We wonder how he was able to fit an internship into his schedule, but we guess it comes down to prioritizing what you love.
