Brad Pitt, fashion photographer?
Whenever celebrities reach a certain level of notoriety, the perimeters of their career begin to dissolve. Sometimes it’s a good thing, like Leonardo DiCaprio moonlighting as an environmental activist. Other times, the results are less than stellar: Remember when Oprah thought she could sing her own theme song? Even if they have no formal training or are any good at what they plan on doing, celebrities are surrounded by both money and nodding heads, enabling them to do whatever they desire.
Three years after their “Domestic Bliss” photo spread in W magazine—the one that rubbed Brangelina’s relationship in Jennifer Aniston’s face by depicting the couple as an ordinary suburban family with an extraordinary wardrobe—the couple everyone wants to be in a three-way with is doing it again. Except this time, Brad will be behind the camera. Apparently, photography is a hobby of his. While I don’t anticipate it will be bad—it’s kind of hard to take a bad shot when you can always fall back on Photoshop and “artistic vision”—I sincerely hope for his sake that the photos are good. It’s easy to forgive almost anything he does in front of the camera because, well, he’s in front of them camera. But what will we think when this kid, of all those kids, is not in the picture?
