Beautiful man Brad Pitt turned 56 today.

Of course, Pitt has always been incredibly handsome, but like the other beautiful aliens among us — Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett — he’s only become more stunning with age.

To celebrate his birthday, I’d like to look to Brad in middle age, newsboy-capped and a full meal in his mid-fifties:
