Today, all eyes were on Centre Court at Wimbledon as Carlos Alcaraz soared to victory over Novak Djokovic, sweetening his number one title by lifting the coveted golden trophy.
However, some couldn’t help but get distracted by the goings-on of the royal box, with A-list attendees including Hugh Jackman, Lewis Capaldi, Emma Watson, Ariana Grande, Andrew Garfield, Jonathan Bailey, Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton.
Shortly after paying a visit to Formula 1 for filming, Brad Pitt was also spotted at SW19 to take in the final day of the championship, donning a blue shirt and a pair of Aviator sunglasses.
Fans of the Babylon star are frequently astounded to discover just how old he is, considering he often looks as though he’s again in reverse (yes, feel free to insert the habitual Benjamin Button joke right here).
Nonetheless, that number may seem even more staggering when you compare it to the ages of Wimbledon men’s singles finalists Carlos and Novak… combined.
BBC Sport pointed out that Brad is three years older than both of the professional tennis players put together – and so we had to check this astounding fact for ourselves.

Lo and behold, Brad is (somehow) 59 years old, with his birthday falling on December 18.
Carlos only recently celebrated his 20th birthday on May 5, having won his first Grand Slam – the US Open – last year when he was just 19 years old.
Meanwhile, Novak, who has won an all-time record 23 Grand Slam men’s singles titles and has in the past been ranked at number one in the world for a record total of 389 weeks, is 36 years old.

The simple maths is – 36 plus 20 is 56, and Brad is three years older at 59. Not that he ever looks his age.
Tennis fans were similarly bowled over by this revelation, including Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford who tweeted: ‘Brad Pitt out here looking 45 👀.’
Another individual pointed out that Brad is the same age as Nigel Farage, while someone else added: ‘This has frazzled my brain.’
Perhaps that Evian water at Wimbledon really has some age-defying quality to it?
