They're paying India a visit. Currently in Pune to shoot A Mighty Heart, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the world's most powerful celebrity couple.
Here's a trip down memory lane, sidestepping tabloid talk and paparazzi scoops, looking at these two superstars and their rise to fame.
The Cowboy and the Cyborg
Born 1963, Pitt moonlighted as a chauffeur and fast-food mascot (in a chicken suit) until the late 80s brought him television appearances. Still, it took 1991's Thelma & Louise for him to get noticed -- he played Geena Davis' hatted one-night stand. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie Voight, born 1975, didn't have a similar struggle. Jon Voight's stunning daughter was born with Meatloaf music videos thrust upon her, and her first lead role came in 1993's Cyborg 2, a low-budget film where she played a robot designed to kill by seduction. A portent of things to come?
