Brad Pitt has shaved his head again, bringing back the buzzcut that defined his look during the 2004 Ocean’s 12 press tour. Now, 21 years later, the actor sports the clean, short style while promoting his latest action movie, F1, in New York.
Unlike softer versions with longer hair on top, Pitt’s buzzcut is uniform all over—just a centimeter of hair that reveals a sharp jawline. The style is simple and low-maintenance, with no room for bad hair days.
The buzzcut has a long history, from World War I recruits to 1970s punks. It contrasts sharply with neat, classic hairstyles like side partings. Many actors known as Hollywood bad boys—such as Colin Farrell, Tom Hardy, and Jason Statham—have favored this bold look. Pitt himself has worn the buzzcut during major films like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Ocean’s 12.
In F1, Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a ’90s racing driver making a comeback. The actor’s choice to return to the iconic buzzcut fits perfectly with this high-energy role. Fans see this fresh cut as a good sign for Pitt’s new blockbuster.
