The Real Reason We Never Hear About Brad Pitt's Brother

In 2012, Doug was hired by Virgin Mobile Australia to star in a cheeky commercial series as the "second most famous Pitt in his family." The ads, which Doug sought out Brad's blessing to do "out of respect," showcased his status as a "regular guy" who gets excited about listening to '70s rock in his man cave, boasts about the functionality of his fax machine, hand-crafts birdhouses in his spare time, and drives a mini-van.

He appeared on NOVA FM after the commercial aired and said, "This is by far the first time I've ever stepped foot near this arena...it's been a blast." However, he added that the job was "hard" and doing the commercials gave him a newfound respect for his brother's occupation. He explained that he called Brad after it was done and said, "'Props man, this thing's hard!' It's the truth. They say 'action,' [and] all of a sudden everybody's staring at you, and it's like 'uhhhh.' I don't do this. Gotta remember your lines, and oh yeah, be funny."
