HE'S Hollywood's hottest heartthrob. Yes, this is Brad Pitt.

The actor, who with Angelina Jolie forms Tinseltown's most glamourest couple, has been turned into a wrinkled and balding man in his upcoming drama movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The film, which also stars Cate Blanchett, is from F. Scott Fitzgerald's story about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards.

Pitt admits he was hesitant about the film, in which Blanchett stars as his love interest, The Daily Mail newspaper in the UK reports.
