Brad Pitt, 61, officially aging backwards with bold new haircut

Brad Pitt appears to have discovered the fountain of youth after giving flashbacks to his younger career with a new hairdo.
The Fight Club actor, 61, embodied his iconic character, Tyler Durden, after he was spotted sporting a shaved head.
The star has lopped off his signature blonde locks in favour of a close cut similar to that of his son Knox, whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
He is still sporting stubble on his chin as shown in the snap, which was taken as he sat in a car rocking black sunglasses and a white jacket.
Pitt has shaved his head several times over his career, most notably for some of his biggest film roles.
He most famously braved the shave for his role in the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club, in which he played mysterious antagonist Tyler alongside fellow lead Edward Norton as the unnamed protagonist.
In 2004, the actor sported a buzzcut for his role in Mr & Mrs Smith, the film in which he met Jolie while still married to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.
When he appeared in the 2014 war film Fury, Pitt also cut off his famous locks for the part of Wardaddy, where he had short, shaved sides and a pompadour on top.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, he sported flowing blonde locks for his role as Louis de Pointe du Lac in iconic 90s horror film Interview With The Vampire, but he is best known for his grown out, slicked back, and tousled looks we've seen in the likes of Ad Astra, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and most recently, F1.
It was recently rumoured that Pitt will return to his role as stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood for an upcoming sequel.
According to multiple US outlets, the acclaimed director is writing a follow-up to the 2019 hit, with David Fincher serving as director. More Trending
In a surprise move, the unnamed project will be coming to Netflix, meaning it may not get a cinematic release like the first film, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Luke Perry, Damian Lewis, and Mikey Madison among others.
Variety reports that it is unlikely that Leo and Margot will return as Rick Dalton and Sharon Tate.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood follows actor Rick Dalton (Leo) and his stunt double Cliff as they navigate the changing culture of Hollywood in the 60s, struggling to claim their place in the industry.

Squid Game: the show's worst characters are back … and they're as unbelievably wooden as ever

Look alive – Squid Game returns this week! There's still no sign of any squid, which is the kind of false advertising that ruined The Pink Panther. But that's good, because squid are terrifying. Once, showing off on holiday, I offered to cook for a group of friends. I didn't speak the language where we were, and ended up leaving the fishmonger with a big bag of tentacles. As I attempted to remove the head, guts, beak and skin of the creatures, their internal sacs burst, coating me in viscous black ink. I suffered an allergic reaction, don't eat squid any more, and don't see those friends. Squid Game the TV show (Netflix, Friday 26 June) has proved even more traumatising. Set on a hidden island, the competition pits hundreds of desperate, indebted people against each other in a series of children's games. The winner gets millions, while the losers are executed by guards, or die via gruesome, in-game accidents. The show's brilliance is the way it amplifies the emotional stakes of each set-up. Players bond, form alliances, then have to murder each other to survive. The weak are ganged up on, cowards exploit loopholes in the rules to screw over everyone else, while those who make selfless choices are punished. Usually. It's hard to discuss Squid Game without spoilering it to Buckaroo. It is such an enclosed world, a Jenga puzzle of individual choices and group consequence. This third, final series was intended to be part of the second, and filmed back to back. Which is to say, don't drop in here if you haven't seen the first two. It'll still be upsetting, it just won't make any sense. Let's speak broadly of the characters, voluntary kidnappees on a starvation diet. The winner of the first Squid Game, who re-entered the second to take revenge on its creators, is now dealing with the fallout of a failed insurrection. They spend much of their time chained to a bunk, looking more haunted than a Coney Island funfair. Their nemesis is the Front Man – an overseer who wears a voice-distorting mask and looks like Kryten from Red Dwarf dipped in petrol. Other players include a drugged-up psychopath, whose simple pleasures involve watching the light fade in the eyes of the dying. There is also a mother and son, who probably won't get to stay on the same team. Very upsetty, no spaghetti. Sadly, the VIPs also recur. Members of a wealthy elite, who created the tournament for their amusement. Wearing golden animal masks to make it crystal clear they are ciphers of decadence, they spectate from a neon pot-planted chamber, betting on who lives or dies. Imagine if the participants of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut ran a board game night. These flimsy characters deliver dialogue so wooden it could have fallen off the back of a Jewson's lorry. If our world has shown us anything, it is that the evil billionaires are not lazy, grape-eating emperors. They are narcissistic businessmen who get up at 4am to ruin the entire world, not just one small island. I'm also less engaged by the storylines of organ-harvesting guards, or the ongoing efforts of detective Hwang Jun-ho to locate the island and find his missing brother. Squid Game is compelling because of its games. These diabolical tests plumb the depths of avarice and selfishness, or offer occasions for self-sacrifice and stoicism, depending how they're played. 'Do you still have faith in people?' is a question the overseer poses the hero, who stands on the precipice of an impossible choice. As characters, they embody opposite answers. Game theory, a branch of mathematics that analyses competitive strategies between rational actors, has proved that cooperation outperforms exploitation. In other words, it's in all our interests to not be bastards. The problem is people are not rational; and having a gun to their heads tends not to help. Moreover, you know what a few rotten apples do to a barrel. This is why Squid Game grips us – we're afraid of who we really are. We need to be shown ourselves, in the least flattering mirror, yet still be shown not all bad. What will the show's verdict on us be? There is such cruelty in its premise, vivid glee in its sadism, and previous seasons have hardly ended on an upper. But the game's not over till it's over. Let's see, through a squid darkly.

Today's horoscope has one star sign needing to watch their words

Today's horoscope for Saturday, June 21 sees one star sign enjoying some fresh air and exercise It's Saturday, June 21 and one star sign appreciates their cosy routines but needs to realise that shaking things up a little can also be good for them. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. ‌ These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. ‌ Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) It can be flattering that other people in your life value your views and opinions but that's as far as you want it to go. They can't keep coming to you for advice. Try to inspire your family and friends to trust their own judgement. That way, you can free yourself from the responsibility of their choices. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) A local outing that gives you a chance to enjoy some fresh air and exercise will feel perfect for you at this time. You appreciate your cosy routines but shaking things up a little can also be good for you. The more flexible you become, the more things you will discover to love about life. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Be mindful of what you say today and who you say it too. There is something in the air that makes you feel someone is being dishonest or deceitful. Be extra cautious around neighbours and colleagues who clearly want to gossip. Refuse to listen to rumours. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) You won't mind taking a little time to give youngsters in the family the help they need. As it is, the activities you do together will open up your own imagination and creativity. Children are a great source of inspiration. Be positive and supportive to those around you. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) A last minute business trip will be inconvenient and difficult to arrange but ultimately, it will be worth your while. Someone in the family will receive a professional diagnosis that explains a lot about the difficulties they have gone through in the past. ‌ Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Putting in long hours at work is tiring but this will also be beneficial for you. Completing tasks promptly and getting jobs done efficiently will bring both financial rewards and career advancement. Remember to keep your romantic partner informed about your day and show them extra love and affection if you arrive home late. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) If you have been helping someone for a while, you're wondering whether they actually appreciate this. Suddenly, you are starting to feel they are taking advantage of your kind nature. It doesn't take a lot to keep you motivated. A few gentle words of encouragement would do. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) You're longing for new adventures, a change of scenery and different activities. If you can't travel very far, find a good book or movie and immerse yourself in the plot. Share your ideas for having some fun with your family and friends. Let go of outdated habits. ‌ Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) There's nothing wrong with changing your opinions after talking to people who offer you a different perspective on the situation. Friends and colleagues will appreciate your willingness to listen and consider new ideas and suggestions. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You might welcome some new experiences instead of clinging to the familiar. Some good news will give you a strong feeling that you're surrounded by positive financial energy. Over the weekend, you might hear of a future event that piques your interest. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) A romantic relationship is growing more meaningful to you. The quickest route to your heart is via your mind. Someone you are growing close to is a wonderful conversationalist with a wide range of interests. You are never bored in their company. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) A youngster who is struggling with their studies can gain a lot from the time they spend with you. Rather than sticking to your hectic schedule, consider stepping back from your work, volunteer and other outside commitments. Make it a priority to give those around you the support they need and this will help strengthen your relationships.
