Brad Pitt's Shaggy New Look Has Us Wondering: Is He Trying to Steal Quentin Tarantino's Spotlight?

The 61-year-old Hollywood heartthrob has been making waves with his fresh new look, sporting a trimmed moustache and a stylish buzz cut while filming The Adventures of Cliff Booth in Los Angeles. But what's behind the change?

Sources close to the production reveal that Brad is not only reprising his role as the titular character but also taking on a more prominent role as a producer for the sequel to Quentin Tarantino's hit film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

But here's the twist: Tarantino has passed the directing reins over to David Fincher, and insiders claim that Brad is feeling a bit upstaged by his new responsibilities. "Brad was initially thrilled about taking on more producing duties, but now he's starting to feel like he's being pushed aside," says a source.

The tension between Pitt and Tarantino may be palpable, but the actor isn't letting it get him down. Insiders claim that Brad is loving every minute of his new role as Cliff Booth, even going so far as to flash a light at something off-camera during a recent scene shoot.

But what's really got tongues wagging is Brad's on-again, off-again romance with actress Elizabeth Debicki, who's set to star alongside him in the upcoming film. Sources claim that the two have been locked in a passionate affair, with insiders describing their chemistry as "electric."

"It's no secret that Brad and Liz have had a long history of romance," says a source close to the production. "But now they're more in love than ever. They're always holding hands, giving each other kisses, and just generally being adorable together on set."

But while Pitt may be getting cozy with Debicki, his past romance with Angelina Jolie still has fans swooning. In fact, a recent appearance by the two at Wimbledon had fans going wild for the couple's reunion.

"Brad and Angie were sitting together in the VIP section, looking like the ultimate power couple," says an eyewitness. "They were laughing, smiling, and just generally enjoying each other's company. It was clear that they still have a deep connection."

The star also changed up his appearance during this period as he grew long, dark brown locks which he showed off at the premiere of his film Killing Him Softly (2012).

More recently, the actor has gone back to sporting a buzz cut which he has paired with light stubble.
