Is Brad Pitt's Grooming Brand Any Good?

In the Age of the Celebrity Brand™, Brad Pitt’s entry into the skincare game is at the same time expected and head-scratching. Why wouldn’t one of the most famous and handsome men in the world sling skincare? But Pitt also seems reluctant, cautious even, to become known as a beauty mogul. In interviews, he’s expressed plausible deniability that he has more than the most basic skincare routine and has voiced contempt at the term “anti-aging” despite the fact that Le Domaine’s claims are around slowing the aging process. At first, the hesitancy of Pitt to truly discuss skincare when being interviewed about his own skincare collection seems a bit performative, but there could be some truth to it.   [View in Browser]( [Esquire]( [SHOP]( EXCLUSIVE [SUBSCRIBE]( [Putting Brad Pitt's Le Domaine Skincare Line to the Test]( [Putting Brad Pitt's Le Domaine Skincare Line to the Test]( In the Age of the Celebrity Brand™, Brad Pitt’s entry into the skincare game is at the same time expected and head-scratching.

I run seventeen leagues, in fact. I fill them with people, collect dues, allocate it all, repeat. Effectively, it’s the housekeeping of our hobby, in which we draft NFL players and pit them against each other, week to week. here’s something about the nexus of football, gambling, and statistics that just gets me. When that trifecta of pleasure meets, I feel an internal click—ping!—and before I knew it was missing, a missing piece of my mental puzzle emerges from underneath the sofa.
