In 1988, a 25-year-old Brad Pitt was a more or less a nobody in Hollywood circles. Aside from guest appearances on Growing Pains and 21 Jump Street, Pitts only roles were uncredited parts in forgettable shows. Pitt’s true breakout (and most courageous) performance occurred in 1988 when he sexed Robin Givens in the midst of her divorce to World Heavyweight Champion boxer Mike Tyson. Tyson, who would then go on to call givens a “pig” who “stole his money,” was “mad as hell” at the discovery. Tyson claims he holds no ill will toward the A-list actor and even calls him “pretty” and a “really nice guy.” |
