Brad Pitt appears to have discovered the fountain of youth after giving flashbacks to his younger career with a new hairdo.
The Fight Club actor, 61, embodied his iconic character, Tyler Durden, after he was spotted sporting a shaved head.
The star has lopped off his signature blonde locks in favour of a close cut similar to that of his son Knox, whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
He is still sporting stubble on his chin as shown in the snap, which was taken as he sat in a car rocking black sunglasses and a white jacket.
Pitt has shaved his head several times over his career, most notably for some of his biggest film roles.
He most famously braved the shave for his role in the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club, in which he played mysterious antagonist Tyler alongside fellow lead Edward Norton as the unnamed protagonist.

In 2004, the actor sported a buzzcut for his role in Mr & Mrs Smith, the film in which he met Jolie while still married to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.
When he appeared in the 2014 war film Fury, Pitt also cut off his famous locks for the part of Wardaddy, where he had short, shaved sides and a pompadour on top.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, he sported flowing blonde locks for his role as Louis de Pointe du Lac in iconic 90s horror film Interview With The Vampire, but he is best known for his grown out, slicked back, and tousled looks we’ve seen in the likes of Ad Astra, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and most recently, F1.
It was recently rumoured that Pitt will return to his role as stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood for an upcoming sequel.

According to multiple US outlets, the acclaimed director is writing a follow-up to the 2019 hit, with David Fincher serving as director.
In a surprise move, the unnamed project will be coming to Netflix, meaning it may not get a cinematic release like the first film, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, and Mikey Madison among others.
Variety reports that it is unlikely that Leo and Margot will return as Rick Dalton and Sharon Tate.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood follows actor Rick Dalton (Leo) and his stunt double Cliff as they navigate the changing culture of Hollywood in the 60s, struggling to claim their place in the industry.
