How Brad morphs into his lovers
By TMZ.COM STAFF

(Jan. 30) Brad Pitt becomes the woman in his life. TMZ.com has examined Pitt's former looks and loves, and it's apparent -- the famous actor is profoundly influenced -- physically and otherwise -- by his real life leading ladies.

In the early 90's, after Pitt hooked up with the wild actress Juliette Lewis, his physical appearance became decidedly bohemian, mirroring hers.

Fast forward to the mid-90's, when Brad and Gwyneth Paltrow became an item. Not only did Pitt radically change his look, he practically became Gwyneth's mirror image. He even assumed Gwyneth's less-than-perfect posture, slouching at events.

As we entered the millennium, Brad married Jennifer Aniston. Not only did he cast himself in her image, they even shared the same highlights for their wedding ceremony

And now with his pregnant girlfriend Angelina Jolie, the pin-up guy has dyed his hair black. But hair is just the beginning. He wears her colors, shares her styles. She flies a plane. Now he does. She's a world peace ambassador. Ditto Brad.

Psychotherapist Candice Slobin has a theory. "There's some essential element of his own self-identity that may be missing." She adds, "He's absorbing something into his own identity that has not developed on its own." But Slobin also points out, "It is not necessarily a negative pattern if what he is absorbing from these women is life-enhancing."
Psychotherapist Joanna Poppink has another explanation. "He's an actor," she says. "So he is used to studying people, and by morphing, this adds to his mystique."

Do Pitt's chameleon-like changes make him a "girly man"? Slobin says no. "There is no absolute standard to masculinity. It may just be that he really likes woman and likes what they have to offer." Slobin calls him "an adaptable man."

They're leaving out all the times where he looks like a smelly old homeless man. Who was he trying to look like then?

You could look at it a different way... instead of changing to be like his girlfriends, he could just change a lot and is drawn to women that reflect his current state.

Maybe then he was secretly dating the Olsen twins?

At this point the mimetism gets ridiculous

Sad really. I do not like black hair on him at all.

Now all he needs is his top lip botoxed for matching trout pouts!

Even his chin seems to change, hehe

I said in another thread that he was too 'pretty boy' for my liking but in that pic with Gwyn he looks hot!!

That Paltrow pic always makes me laugh. Do you think people could tell them apart from behind?

When his hair was really long he was with a model -- her name was exotic. She was tall and had long blond hair like him.

Are you thinking of this girl?

Her name is Jitka Pohlodek. But his hair was long for Legends of the Fall and Interview with the Vampire. He bleached it when he was done filming until he had to cut it off for his next movie.

He also dated Robin Givens and Thandie Newton.
