Fear not, ladies, Brad Pitt hasn't gone off the deep end and shaved his head. He's merely wearing a bald cap for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, the
romantic dramedy he's currently filming under long-time director pal David Fincher. Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story of the same name, in it, Pitt stars as a
middle-aged man who falls in love with a thirty-year old woman (played by Cate Blanchett) and then finds himself aging backwards. Hilarity and hijinks? Oh, they ensue, baby! Check out a bigger version of Q-Ball Pitt over HERE. Incidentally, the bald cap isn't the only make-up/prosthetic he wears in the film. Since he starts off as a 50-plus year-old man, he also wears aging make-up and you can take a gander at Geezer Pitt over HERE. The film is tentatively scheduled for a May 2008 release.
Extra Tidbit:
The film will make use of the motion capture system called The Contour System for Pitt's aging effects.
