Brad Pitt was a style icon in the '90s.
The actor was the dream man for many women, while a clutch of men aspired to be him.
He was the A-lister who seemingly had it all - the beautiful girlfriends, the handsome good looks and a pick of top notch movies to star in.
But the 57-year-old openly admits that nowadays his fashion sense has changed and if he has a style "it's no style".
Brad made the confession to Esquire Magazine. But maybe it was just a case of the Fight Club actor being modest as he still oozed class in his latest ad.
The actor went on to discuss his preference of style, saying: "I like monochrome, without it being a uniform. I like simplicity. I like the details in the stitching, the way it feels. If anything, that’s the only divining rod I have."
And he admitted that he was mainly hung up on comfort since he's getting older.
"I like the feel of a Lecia camera or the way a watch feels," he admitted. "I don’t want to look ostentatious, but if you come close, you notice. I like how the lining feels. It’s those details that are important to me. It’s too exhausting to follow trends. And I despise billboards; I just don’t want to be billboard."
He confessed: “You get older, you get crankier, and comfort becomes more important. I think it’s as simple as that.”
In its new campaign after teaming up with coffee machine maker De'Longhi, he showcased his style as he rode on a motorbike before pulling up to sip on a freshly brewed cuppa wearing a basic long-sleeve shirt and jeans.
He is the face of the brand's Perfetto campaign and described himself as a "serious coffee drinker".
"I am a serious, professional, committed coffee drinker," he said. "Usually a three-cappuccino drinker in the morning, and depending on the work in the afternoon, I might switch over to an espresso."
Brad doesn't put his face to many advertising campaigns and, when asked why he decided to say yes to the coffee brand, he said: "It’s about quality, it’s about design aesthetics... harmony, quality and approach. I really appreciated De’Longhi’s approach, when you have confidence in your product you don’t have to overdo it.
"Their attention to detail makes me appreciate the brand even more.
"That sort of thoughtfulness is a distinctive value of Italian design -how you design something for the people who are going to experience it: certain details that might not be immediately obvious, but in the end have a profound effect on you and your life.”
